I like the expression on her face. It looks like this shot hurt. But I also like the framing of this shot. Good job!

Very nice! And I kid you not!

you ask for "Comments, Suggestions" I would say it would not have hurt her as much if she had headed the ball more from her forhead

Having said that, great shot and well framed.

The subject is in focus. And the DoF is just enough to blur the background and emphasize the subject. But i wish there is more space on top from so where the ball came from becomes apparent and a little more space below to show more of their take off from the ground.
Your capture of the two players in mid-air makes this shot interesting. And the expression on the face of the player as the ball hits her head or as her head hits the ball is excellent.

I love the shot, but agree with what Rick was saying. A little more negative space might have provided more context/ impact. The expression is to die for!
