A defender out of Madrid, Spain, Sánchez spent the last four years playing club with Atletico de Madrid, after being signed from the academy of CD Leganes, where she spent 2 years as a young player… The incoming transfer from Spain is ready to compete at the highest level in the SEC with her team this upcoming season… She arrives in Baton Rouge with experience as a key player and starter in the back line of one of Europe’s most tactically disciplined and respected teams.

“Mireia is a fearless and physical fullback who brings real grit to the back line. Her intensity in duels, willingness to get forward, and relentless work rate on both sides of the ball will make her a tough matchup and a key asset to our defensive unit,” added Head Coach Sian Hudson.
