[3] [4] 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. [2] In the first round of the 2019 NCAA championship, she made a career-high 11 saves in regulation and then saved two kicks in the penalty shootout to advance past Pepperdine, but lost in the next round. [5] [6] White recorded a conference-best nine clean sheets as a senior in 2022, earning second-team All-Big 12 honors. [2]

In the 2023 season, White helped lead the Red Raiders to their first Big 12 regular-season title in program history. [3] She recorded career highs with 70 saves and 13 clean sheets (including eight home games in a row), being named the Big 12 goalkeeper of the year, first-team All-Big 12, and first-team All-American by United Soccer Coaches. [2] [7] 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.

White currently holds the program record for most career shutouts (39), (previously held by Victoria Esson), as well as the all-time program leader in GK wins (52). [2] [9]
