Personal life
Kalivas is married to fellow footballer Martha West, whom she met when playing on opposite sides in a New York Metropolitan Women's Soccer League game. Before the wedding Kalivas and West played a football match, captaining teams consisting of their friends and family, to decide who would take the surname of whom. The match ended in a 1–1 draw, so they decided they would both keep their names. ==References==
