College career

LSU Tigers

During her time at LSU, Gordon helped lead the Tigers to two NCAA Division I women's soccer tournament appearances but would only advance to the round of 32 once in 2018. [1]

During the first round of the 2022 SEC Tournament on October 30, 2022, Gordon was issued a red card in a match against Ole Miss for striking Ole Miss player Ramsey Davis in double overtime. The incident occurred after Gordon regained ball possession from Davis, who fouled her. Video shows Davis using excessive force, prompting Gordon to retaliate. The fight was broken up quickly, but LSU teammate Rammie Noel went after Davis, bringing her to the ground. All three players—Gordon, Davis, and Noel—were issued red cards. LSU was eliminated by Ole Miss in a penalty shootout. [2]

Club career

Gordon entered the 2024 NWSL Draft alongside 236 other players but went undrafted. [3] On January 23, 2024, she received an invitation to join Bay FC's open training camp as a non-roster invitee. [4]

Dallas Trinity

On June 12, 2024, Gordon signed her first professional contract with the newly formed Dallas Trinity FC for their inaugural season in the USL Super League. [5] Gordon made her club debut on August 31, 2024 in a friendly match against Barcelona at the Cotton Bowl. In the 29th minute, she suffered an injury which forced her to leave the game. Gordon later would undergo surgery on her knee shortly after.

Washington Spirit (loan)

In July 2024, Dallas Trinity and the Washington Spirit agreed to a short term loan deal for Gordon, allowing her to play for the remainder of the 2024 NWSL x Liga MX Femenil Summer Cup group stage games with Washington. [6] She made her club debut against Gotham FC on July 28, 2024 in a 1–0 loss at Subaru Park.
