Early life

Raised in Atlanta, McCamey played club soccer for Tophat, where she served as team captain, in the Girls' Development Academy and the Elite Clubs National League. [1] [2] She committed to play college soccer at Princeton University during her junior year at the Westminster Schools. [1] [3]

College career

After the 2020 season was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, McCamey was mostly a backup in her freshman season in 2021, making three starts for the Princeton Tigers. [1] [4] She shared goalkeeping duties as a sophomore, playing 70% of the minutes, with 2 solo shutouts (8 total) in 15 games. [1] [5] She started all 19 games in her junior year in 2023, keeping 6 clean sheets (7 total) including in both games at the NCAA tournament, losing in the second round on penalties. [1] [6] She co-captained Princeton with Heather MacNab in her senior year in 2024, leading the team to the Ivy League regular-season and tournament titles. She posted 8 solo clean sheets in 17 games, with 0.65 goals against average, was named first-team All-Ivy. [1] [7]

Club career

While completing her undergraduate degree in the spring of 2025, McCamey began her professional career unexpectedly early when Gotham FC reached out in April. [8] Ann-Katrin Berger lacked a backup after injuries to Ryan Campbell and Shelby Hogan. [8] On April 17, Gotham FC signed McCamey and recently retired Michelle Betos, the club's assistant goalkeeping coach, to short-term injury replacement contracts. [9] McCamey was on the bench for two league games and two games at the 2024–25 CONCACAF W Champions Cup, which Gotham won, before departing the club in June. [10] [11]
