The Annies’ midfield is officially "All-American." DeKalb County United is beyond thrilled to announce that Naperville native and North Central College superstar Kassandra Salviola is back for the 2026 season.

All-American standout Kassandra Salviola returns to DeKalb County United for 2026. Experience elite creativity and a relentless drive from the North Central star.

Kassandra, or "Kas" to the United faithful, comes into the summer riding a wave of elite momentum. Most recently, she made headlines by earning prestigious All-American honors for her standout performances with the North Central Cardinals. Her ability to dictate the tempo of a match and create scoring opportunities out of thin air makes her one of the most dangerous players in the region.

For Kas, returning to DeKalb was an easy decision. The environment at the NIU Soccer Stadium perfectly matches her own approach to the game. "I have loved the fun, yet hard-working environment since I started here, and the coaching staff is amazing!" she shared. It’s that balance of high-level competition and community spirit that has made her a cornerstone of the Annies' roster.
