Sally Marie Menti (born March 10, 2002) is an American professional soccer player who plays as a midfielder for Seattle Reign FC of the National Women's Soccer League (NWSL). She played college soccer for the Santa Clara Broncos, winning the 2020 national championship as a freshman.
Menti grew up in Seattle, Washington, and attended the Seattle Academy and Roosevelt High School. [1] [2] She played ECNL club soccer for Crossfire Premier. She initially committed to Gonzaga as a freshman, before changing her commitment to Santa Clara one year later. [2] [3]
Menti appeared in all 12 games (10 starts) in her freshman season with the Santa Clara Broncos in 2020, a shortened season due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and scored 2 goals with a team-high 6 assists. In the NCAA tournament (which was held in the spring), scored the winner in a 1–0 win against Ohio State and put away her penalty in an upset shootout victory over Florida State after a 1–1 draw in the final. She was named the West Coast Conference (WCC) Freshman of the Year, second-team All-WCC, and Best XI Freshman by TopDrawerSoccer . [1] [4]
In her sophomore season in 2021, Menti had 1 goal and 2 assists in 21 games (18 starts). She helped Santa Clara return to the final four of the NCAA tournament, where she made her penalty in a semifinal shootout loss to BYU. [1] She missed the entire 2022 season due to an ACL tear. [5] In her redshirt junior season in 2023, she scored 4 goals and led the team with 9 assists in 21 games (20 starts), earning first-team All-WCC honors. She scored the winner in the opener of the NCAA tournament before losing in the second round. [1] She started all 20 games and scored 4 goals with a team-high 7 assists in her redshirt senior season in 2024, earning first-team All-WCC honors, but again they fell in the second round of the NCAA tournament. [6] [7]
Menti was invited to train with hometown club Seattle Reign FC as a non-roster trialist in the 2025 preseason. [8] On March 25, 2025, Seattle announced that they had signed Menti to her first professional contract on a short-term deal through June. [9]
Menti trained with the United States youth national team at the under-16, under-17, under-18, and under-20 levels. [1] However, her time with the under-20 team was disrupted by injury. She came off the bench in the opening game against Nicaragua at the 2022 CONCACAF Women's U-20 Championship but broke her wrist at the end of the game and missed the rest of the tournament. [10] She tore her ACL later that year while training for the 2022 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup and was replaced on the roster by her college teammate Annie Karich. [11] She was called into training camp with the United States under-23 team, practicing alongside the senior national team, in March 2025. [12]
