Loving was born in Doylestown, Pennsylvania,[3] to Brian and Jennifer Loving.[4] She originally played soccer for local club Buckingham United before switching to FC Bucks in eighth grade.[6] Loving attended Central Bucks High School East, where she was the junior varsity team's top scorer as a freshman.[7] She then moved up to the varsity squad, was named two-time all-state and all-region, and eventually became team captain.[4][7] As a senior, Loving was named a high school All-American by the NSCAA after recording 33 goals and 11 assists.[6][8] She had also helped Central Bucks East win a historic district title and reach the Pennsylvania state championship match.[9]
College career
As a high school sophomore, Loving committed to the University of Pennsylvania; she had also considered Rutgers University and the University of Virginia before ultimately choosing to play for the Penn Quakers.[7] On September 4, 2016, she scored her first two collegiate goals in a 5–0 win over Robert Morris.[10] Loving did not look back, scoring 4 more goals across all 16 of the Quakers' matches to become Penn's 2016 leading scorer.[4] She subsequently earned recognition as an All-Ivy honorable mention at the end of the year.[11]
In her sophomore season, Loving once again appeared in all 16 of Penn's matches.[4] On September 23, 2017, she scored the lone goal in the Quakers' Ivy League-opening victory over Harvard, which was also the program's first win over the Crimson in 5 years.[12] Her performance in the game earned her the honor of Ivy League player of the Week.[4] Loving rounded out her college career with two more seasons, one of which included an Ivy League championship title. She made 69 total appearances for the program.[4]
Club career
Mallbackens IF
Loving signed her first professional contract with Swedish second-division club Mallbackens IF in August 2022.[13] She scored twice in her 11 Elitettan appearances, first in August against Älvsjö AIK and then three months later in a draw with Jitex BK.[2][14]
SC Sand
On January 31, 2023, Loving signed with German team SC Sand halfway through the 2. Frauen-Bundesliga season, joining fellow American Jenna Zuniga.[15] Across her one-and-a-half seasons with SC Sand, Loving scored 9 times across 40 league games. She also made 2 appearances in the DFB-Pokal cup, both of which occurred in the 2023–24 season.[1]
Strasbourg
Loving signed for newly-promoted French top-flight team RC Strasbourg Alsace on July 27, 2024.[3] Despite joining a team in a different country, Loving did not have to move particularly far, with the German town of Willstätt and the French city of Strasbourg both in close proximity to one another.[3] Loving kicked off her stint with Strasbourg on a positive note, scoring a brace in a preseason match against FC Metz.[16] However, she did not find the back of the net again in her time with the club.[2] Loving helped Strasbourg finish 9th in the Première Ligue standings and evade relegation back down to the Seconde Ligue.[17]
Brooklyn FC
On July 29, 2025, Loving headed back stateside and joined USL Super League club Brooklyn FC.[5] She made her club debut in Brooklyn's season-opening match over the Tampa Bay Sun, playing all 90 minutes of the 2–1 victory.[18]
