College career
Elgin entered her freshman season with North Carolina Tar Heels as a starter but tore her quadriceps in the second game of the season, ruling her out for the rest of the year.[3] She returned the next year to make 23 appearances (7 starts) in 2022, starting the last five rounds of the NCAA tournament, where North Carolina finished runners-up to UCLA. In 2023, she recorded 3 assists in 22 games (21 starts), including the winning assist to Ally Sentnor in the NCAA tournament second round as North Carolina reached the quarterfinals.[1] She was the only starter to return to the team in 2024, when she played in 26 games (25 starts) and scored 1 goal with 1 assist.[1][4] She played every minute of the NCAA tournament after the first round, helping her team concede just once in six games. North Carolina defeated Wake Forest 1–0 in the final to win its 23rd national title and first since 2012.[1][5]
Elgin trained with the North Carolina Courage and Gotham FC as a non-roster trialist in the 2025 preseason.[7][8] On April 12, 2025, Gotham FC announced that the club had signed Elgin to a short-term injury replacement contract.[9] She did not make a competitive appearance for Gotham before the contract expired in June.[10]
