Vanessa Michelle Kara González (born 27 November 1996) is a professional footballer who plays as a forward. Born in the United States, she plays for the Dominican Republic women's national team.[1]

Early life

Born in Burlington, New Jersey to a Dominican mother,[2] Kara began playing soccer at the Bridle Club in her hometown, playing alongside her brothers.[3] She soon joined the PDA Fusion, part of the Players Development Academy.[3] During her club and her high school career at Moorestown Friends School, Kara suffered two ACL tears in both knees.[3] During her senior year of high school, Kara committed to playing for the Drexel Dragons of Drexel University.[3]

During her first season with Drexel Dragons, she recorded a team record 11 goals in 18 matches, and was named the 2015 CAA Rookie of the Year.[4] In her sophomore year, Kara scored 6 goals and contributed 5 assists as she earned All-CAA First Team honors.[4] During her final season with the Dragons, she scored 5 goals.[4] Prior to the 2017 playoffs, Kara tore her ACL again and had to red shirt during what would have been her senior year.[3]

In 2019, Kara left Drexel University, and joined the Florida Gators of the University of Florida.[3] One of her former coaches had recommended Kara to Gators head coach Becky Burleigh.[3] During her only season with the Florida Gators, Kara scored a team leading 10 goals, tied for 5th in the Southeastern Conference.[5]

Club career

On 16 January 2020, Kara was eligible for selection in the NWSL College Draft but was not selected.[6] The day after the draft, Kara received a call from North Carolina Courage head coach Paul Riley to join the team for preseason.[6] Later that year, Kara joined Kansallinen Liiga club TiPS.[7] She made her debut for the side on 22 August 2020 against Åland United, starting in a 3–0 defeat.[8] Kara then scored her first goal on 5 September against PK-35, scoring the only goal in a 1–0 victory.[9]

Racing Louisville

On 5 April 2021, after training with them during preseason, Kara returned to the United States and joined National Women's Soccer League club Racing Louisville.[10] She made her professional debut for the club on 15 April 2021 in the NWSL Challenge Cup against the Washington Spirit, coming on as an 89th-minute substitute in a 1–0 defeat.[11]
