She appeared in nine games and scored two goals.

International career

Beerensteyn made her national debut for the first time in 2011 and played two international matches for the Netherlands youth national team in the U-15 age group.[5]  From 2012 to 2016, further appearances followed in the U-16, U-17, and U-19 age groups.
