[3] D'Angelo was selected 21st overall in the 2015 NWSL College Draft by the Western New York Flash and is one of the few Canadian soccer players drafted directly from college.
D'Angelo was born to Gerry and Bonnie D'Angelo in Welland, Ontario. She has an older brother, Derek. [4] Growing up, D'Angelo took part in both dancing and soccer, as well as many other sports teams at school. [5] D'Angelo attended Notre Dame College School in Welland, ON.
D'Angelo attended the University of South Carolina, where she played for the Gamecocks from 2011 to 2014. [4]
In the 2011 season, D'Angelo started 20 of South Carolina's 21 matches and lead the SEC in goals against average (0.80) and was second in save percentage (0.824) for all matches. After just one season, she ranked all-time second in career goals against average at South Carolina. For 2011, D'Angelo was awarded numerous honours for the season, including SEC Co-Defensive Player of the Year, SEC Freshman of the Year, and SEC Goalkeeper of the Year, and she was the only freshman goalkeeper in the nation to make an All-Region team. [4]
In 2012, D'Angelo started 16 of 17 matches after missing the first four games of the season while paying for the Canadian U-20 team at the U-20 Women's World Cup.

[12] D'Angelo began the 2017 season as North Carolina's number one keeper, as she started seven of their first eight games. After that her playing time was very limited as Katelyn Rowland took over as North Carolina's number one keeper.
In 2018 D'Angelo was once again behind Rowland on North Carolina's depth chart, as she only played in seven regular season games. The Courage participated in the inaugural Women's International Champions Cup in July 2018. D'Angelo started in goal in the Championship Game and held Olympique Lyonnais scoreless as North Carolina won 1–0. [13]
in the 2018 Play-offs, D'Angelo started North Carolina's semi-final game against the Chicago Red Stars as Rowland was recovering from a concussion. She recorded a shutout as the Courage won 2–0, and advanced to their second straight championship game. [14]

In July 2008, D'Angelo was named to the roster for the first 2008 CONCACAF Women's Under-17 Championship in Trinidad and Tobago; however, she made no appearance for the team during the tournament. Canada's third-place finish in the tournament gave them a spot in the inaugural FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup in October. [19] D'Angelo was named to the roster for the U-17 World Cup, but once again made no appearance for the team.
D'Angelo made her first appearance for the U-17 team in March 2010 during the CONCACAF Women's Under-17 Championship in Costa Rica. She started all five of Canada's matches in the tournament, recording two shutouts and helping Canada win their first championship title and qualify for the 2010 FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup in Trinidad and Tobago. [20] In September 2010, D'Angelo started all three of Canada's matches in the U-17 Women's World Cup, recording a shutout against Ghana. [21]
Following an impressive showing at the U-17 Women's World Cup, D'Angelo was called up to train with the full Canadian national team in October 2010. Following the training camp, she was named to the roster for the Torneio Internacional Cidade de São Paulo that took place in December 2010, but made no appearance. [22]
In 2012, D'Angelo made the transition to the U-20 team and was named to the roster for the 2012 CONCACAF Women's Under-20 Championship in March. [23] D'Angelo started in all five of Canada's matches of the tournament. Canada won the silver medal and qualified for the 2012 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup in Japan. [24] D'Angelo was on the roster for the World Cup in August and started in all three of Canada's matches in the tournament; however, Canada came in 11th place. [25] Following the tournament, D'Angelo was named 2012 Canadian U-20 Player of the Year. [26]
In February 2013, D'Angelo was named to the 23-player squad of potential Canada's Women's National Team players for the first EXCELeration camp that took place in Florida. [27]
D'Angelo finally made the transition to the full Canada Women's National Team in December 2015, when she was called up to train with the team. She was then named to the roster for the 2016 CONCACAF Women's Olympic Qualifying Tournament in February, although she made no appearances. [5]
D'Angelo made her first appearance for the national team on March 4, 2016 during the Algarve Cup in Portugal against Belgium. She posted a clean sheet for the match. [28] She made one other appearance during the tournament on March 9, coming in for Stephanie Labbé in the 46th minute. [29]
Following a major injury of Canada's starting goalkeeper, Erin McLeod, in March 2016, D'Angelo was named to the roster for the 2016 Rio Olympics. At the 2016 Olympics D'Angelo appeared in one game in goal for Canada, as she was the back-up keeper behind Stephanie Labbé. Canada would go on to win the bronze medal. [30]
D'Angelo appeared in two matches for Canada in 2017. She has received fewer call-ups since 2016 as former starting keeper Erin McLeod has recovered from injury, and has assumed the back-up role behind Labbé. On May 25, 2019 D'Angelo was named to the roster for the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup. [31]
