This can't be right, since she would have been in her mid twenties, even if that is what Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andreea_Bollengier gives (it has been flagged in the edit tab there).

Andreea played for Guildford in the 4NCL

As she married in 2005, one assumes that the 2002 date is incorrect rather than her dob. Her father was a Romanian FM.
