Meets . otability (sports) seems somewhat contradictory about requiring subjects to also meet . At the top of the page it says "The article should provide reliable sources showing that the subject meets the general notability guideline '''or''' the sport specific criteria set forth below. If the article '''does''' meet the criteria set forth below, then it is '''likely''' that sufficient sources exist to satisfy the inclusion criteria for a stand-alone article. Failing to meet the criteria in this guideline means that notability will need to be established in other ways." (My emphases.) According to my reading of this, she is presumed notable, having played "at the highest international or domestic level", and therefore "it is likely that sufficient sources exist to satisfy the inclusion criteria for a stand-alone article". Those sources may not be online, but we do have sources online that verify her name and the games she has played in, which is sufficient for an article. The bit that requires  is in Wikipedia:Notability_(sports)#Applicable_policies_and_guidelines and says "In addition, the subjects of standalone articles should meet the General Notability Guideline." That seems to be intended as a blanket statement about standalone articles on any topic, and is highly questionable - ACADEMIC does ''not'' require subjects to also meet . And,  states "A topic is presumed to merit an article if: It meets either the general notability guideline below, or the criteria outlined in a subject-specific guideline listed in the box on the right". So in fact, it could be argued that this article is in line with the  policy - it meets a subject-specific guideline
