Playing Style
Pleun is a physically strong player with a long reach. She dominates the central defense, ensuring no attacker gets past her. Her patience and composure on the field allow her to effectively stop threats while maintaining defensive structure.

On top of that, she contributes offensively by maintaining strategic positioning during corners to maximize scoring opportunities. She also contributes during the defensive corner by succesfully standing at the post. Moreover, she never gives up during a game, fighting tirelessly for every ball and supporting her teammates with consistent energy and effort.
