Sophia was initially a replacement player for Tactix in 2010 before making the trip down south to compete for the Southern Steel in 2011. 2013 will be her second consecutive year for the Tactix.

For such a young player, Sophia already has several notable achievements to her name. She was part of the champion NZ Secondary Schools team in 2009 and 2010 and has been a member of the NZ Under 21 team since 2010. Sophia was part of the Canterbury NPC team who achieved back to back victories in 2010 and 2011 and in 2011 also made the tournament team.
