Professional career

In the crucible of handball talent that is the Fundació Handbol Roquerol youth system, Somaza honed her skills before making a standout appearance in the Spanish División de Honor Plata with Mubak Balonmano La Roca, a team based in La Roca del Vallés. The move proved to be a stepping stone, as she was swiftly snapped up by the prestigious KH-7 Bm Granollers for the Spanish División de Honor in the subsequent season.

In the 2021–22 season with Mubak Bm La Roca, she notched up an impressive tally of 28 matches, bagging a remarkable 94 goals. Her move to Club Balonmano Granollers for the 2022–23 season has seen her continue this stellar form, with 10 matches played and 52 goals scored in domestic competition. [3]

Spain women's national team

Turning our attention to the international stage, Somaza made her debut with the Spanish national team [4] at the youthful age of 18 during the Torneo Internacional de Batalha. [5] Coached by the seasoned José Ignacio Prades, who recognized her as one of the young talents with the most potential and projection, Somaza's journey with the national team is just beginning.

Under the guidance of Ambros Martín, she secured a coveted spot in the squad for the 2023 World Championship, marking her inaugural appearance in a major international tournament with the Guerreras.
