Scott was raised in Fairview, Pennsylvania, the only daughter of Karen and Nick Scott, and has three older brothers. She comes from a family of many Penn State alumni, including her parents who played for the men's soccer and women's gymnastics teams. Scott played club soccer as a right winger or center forward for Internationals SC, the nearest ECNL team despite being two hours away in Ohio, where she was a three-time ECNL All-American and two-time United Soccer Coaches All-American.[2][3] She attended Fairview High School, where she played for the basketball team but not the soccer team. She committed to Penn State over offers from other top programs like North Carolina and Virginia and graduated from high school one year early to start college at the age of 17.[2][4]
Penn State Nittany Lions
At age 17, Scott played for the Penn State Nittany Lions in the 2024 season. She had 2 goals and 2 assists in 11 appearances (4 starts), dealing with injury early in the season and missing about a month while at the 2024 FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup. She scored both of her goals and made all four starts during the NCAA tournament, helping Penn State reach the quarterfinals, where she scored in a 2–1 loss to eventual champions North Carolina.[2][5] After one season, she chose to turn professional and forgo her remaining college eligibility.[6]
Club career
The Kansas City Current announced on January 8, 2025, that the club had signed Scott to her first professional contract on a one-year deal.[7] On August 7, having made her professional debut in the Teal Rising Cup exhibition in July, she joined Racing Louisville on a loan deal until the end of the season, using the NWSL's newly introduced intraleague loan mechanism.[8] On September 12, the Current recalled her back to Kansas City.[9]
