Kuikka, who has played both in the midfield and the back line, has spent the past two seasons suiting up for Goteborg in Sweden. She played 19 matches with the club, scoring three goals during that time. Kuikka’s contract with the club is set to expire this year.
The Finland international also won a national championship with Florida State back in 2018. She was named to the College Cup All-Tournament Team that year and was All-American Second Team.
