Tartan Ambition

An interview with the Canadian forward at Stirling University, the club formed in March 2015 out of a university partnership and the first student side in Britain to compete in the top flight of a domestic league, currently SWPL 2. Walls describes a campus where almost everyone is an athlete and she lives with teammates, and a childhood split between Vancouver and the hot, remote Okanagan. She came to the UK for opportunities unavailable in British Columbia, scoring 18 goals in 20 games for Glasgow City’s Under-18s at 15 before age-band changes ended that spell. Studying law, she plays off the shoulder at pace and holds dual nationality, targeting Scotland.
