Early life

White was raised in Plano and Rockwall, Texas. She played high school soccer at Bishop Lynch High School as a team member of the winning 2019 Class 6A TAPPS state championship. She was named 2019 TAPPS goalkeeper of the year. She also competed in high jump, winning three consecutive TAPPS state championships in 2017, 2018, and 2019. She played club soccer for Sting SC. [3]

College career

White became the starting goalkeeper for the Texas Tech Red Raiders as a freshman in 2019. She planned to redshirt her first year but was called into action against South Florida when Marissa Zucchetto was injured, making seven saves to win her debut. [4] [5] She contributed to her team's second-place finish in the Big 12 Conference, shutting out six conference opponents, and was named the Big 12 Freshman of the Year and first-team All-Big 12. [3] In the first round of the 2019 NCAA championship, she made a career-high 11 saves in regulation and then saved two penalties in the shootout to advance past Pepperdine, but lost in the next round. [6] [7] White recorded a conference-best nine clean sheets as a senior in 2022, earning second-team All-Big 12 honors. [3]

In the 2023 season, White helped lead the Red Raiders to their first Big 12 regular-season title in program history. [4] She recorded career highs with 70 saves and 13 clean sheets (including eight consecutive home games), being named the Big 12 Goalkeeper of the Year, first-team All-Big 12, and first-team All-American by United Soccer Coaches. [3] [8] In the program's first NCAA championship appearance since her freshman year, she made a season-high six saves in regulation against Princeton and added a kick save in the shootout to make it to the third round, where they fell to North Carolina. [3] [9] White left Texas Tech as the program leader in career shutouts (39; previously held by Victoria Esson). [3] [10]

White was drafted by Racing Louisville with the 54th overall pick in the fourth round of the 2024 NWSL Draft. [8] On July 22, 2024, she signed with Louisville on a two-year contract. [11] She was immediately loan out to USL Super League club Dallas Trinity for the league's inaugural season. [11]

She soon won the starting job over Samantha Estrada and made her professional league debut against Brooklyn FC on September 25, saving a penalty kick from Hope Breslin in the 2–0 loss. Her save was later recognized as the Save of the Month. [13] On October 16, she kept her first professional clean sheet, and Dallas's first as a club, in a 0–0 draw with DC Power FC. [14] She played in 25 league games and led the USL with 9 clean sheets (tied with Hope Hisey) while ranking third in saves. [15] Dallas finished third in the league and lost 2–1 to the Tampa Bay Sun in the playoff semifinals. [16]
