Early life

Castain grew up in Draper, Utah, the only child born to Heidi and Daren Castain. [1] [2] She was named for the number 7's biblical meaning of "lucky", "perfection", or "completeness". [2] [3] She played high school soccer at Waterford School in Sandy, Utah, setting a school record with 113 career goals in two-and-a-half seasons and earning first-team all-state selections three times. She was named high school All-American as a senior in 2021 after scoring a state single-season record 71 goals, including all four for her side in a 4–3 victory over Rowland Hall in the Class 2A state title game. [1] [3] She played club soccer for the Utah Avalanche, earning ECNL all-conference honors. [4] She committed to TCU during her junior year. [5]

College career

Castain enrolled early at Texas Christian University at age 17 in the spring of 2022. [6] [7] In her freshman season, she scored 2 goals with 4 assists in 24 games (9 starts), earning Big 12 Conference all-freshman honors, and helped the TCU Horned Frogs to runner-up finishes for the Big 12 regular-season and tournament titles and the round of 16 in the NCAA tournament. [1] [8] She started all 19 games and scored 7 goals in her sophomore season in 2023, earning first-team All-Big 12 honors after placing third in the conference. [1] [9]

Castain jointly led the conference with 13 goals in 23 games in her junior season in 2024, including a four-goal outburst against Colorado, and was named first-team All-Big 12 and fourth-team All-American. She helped lead the Horned Frogs to the Big 12 regular-season title and was named in the all-tournament team after reaching the Big 12 tournament final. [1] [10] She again led the Horned Frogs in goals and won another Big 12 regular-season championship in her senior season in 2025, earning first-team All-Big 12 honors for the third time. [11] [12]

During college, Castain also played for the Utah Avalanche in the Women's Premier Soccer League and Utah United in the USL W League. [10] She was the USL W League's leading scorer in the 2025 regular season with 17 goals in 9 games during Utah United's first season in the league. [13] She added four more goals in three playoff games, including one in a 4–0 victory over the North Carolina Courage U23 in the national championship game, and was named the USL W League Player of the Year.
