Sports have been with Kaity Hove for her whole life. The Trenton, ND native’s time playing football started in middle school, when she convinced her parents to let her join the boys team. Once high school began, basketball became Hove’s sport of choice, playing it through college. Once she moved to Minnesota to pursue her doctorate in Chiropractics, Hove caught wind of the Vixen and has been on the field ever since.

If Britt Peterson’s football career knows anything, it’s success. The Spencer, IA native started her career in the now-defunct Independent Women’s Football League (IWFL) and earned All-American honors at both receiver and free safety. That pattern continues into the WFA, where Peterson has been a first-team All-American all four years so far (once at wideout, three times at safety). Coming off a 2025 season where she tied in leading the WFA Pro Division in interceptions, the veteran is ready for a repeat performance. Peterson loves football for its team-centric nature and its requirement of scheme ingenuity and intense focus.

Solveig grew up in Fergus falls Minnesota, just about an hour away from Fargo. When she was younger she ran cross country, played basketball, and softball. Eventually, she went on to play softball in college at Concordia in Moorhead. When asked why she joined the vixen Solveig said, “I wanted to be part of a team again and have a community surrounding me, doing the thing we love, together.” Outside of the vixen, Solveig brews beer for a living; while physically demanding she couldn’t imagine a better job for herself! In her free time she enjoys hiking, biking, rock climbing, walking with her puppy Mango, and a good trashy reality tv show from time to time!

Amanda Dvorak is a native of Eagan, MN, where she attended Eagan High School. At the age of 17, she joined the Army National Guard and continues to serve her country. Amanda has completed one tour in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait.
Throughout her childhood, Amanda played a variety of sports, participating in everything from basketball to softball. During middle school, she focused on basketball, volleyball, and softball. Opting out of sports in high school gave her the chance to make up for the missed opportunity now by playing football, with the MN Vixen, and other sports. When not on the football field, you can find Amanda playing hockey and softball, and Australian footy.
For Amanda, the most thrilling part of playing MN Vixen football is being part of an exceptional team and competing at a high level.
