Only a few weeks before that, it was the Danish Cup trophy that she lifted. This was Katrine’s second League title and her third Danish Women’s Cup title with Brøndby.

The talented left winger will next play for Denmark at the UEFA Euro Finals in the Netherlands this summer before linking up with MHSC squad for the next season’s French League and UEFA Women’s Champions League.
