Early life and college career
White was raised in Plano and Rockwall, Texas. She played high school soccer at Bishop Lynch High School as a team member of the winning 2019 Class 6A TAPPS state championship. She was named 2019 TAPPS goalkeeper of the year. She also competed in high jump, winning three consecutive TAPPS state championships in 2017, 2018, and 2019. She played club soccer for Sting SC.[3]
Texas Tech Red Raiders
White became the starting goalkeeper for the Texas Tech Red Raiders as a freshman in 2019. She planned to redshirt her first year but was called into action against South Florida when Marissa Zucchetto was injured, making seven saves to win her debut.[4][5] She contributed to her team's second-place finish in the Big 12 Conference, shutting out six conference opponents, and was named the Big 12 Freshman of the Year and first-team All-Big 12.[3] In the first round of the 2019 NCAA championship, she made a career-high 11 saves in regulation and then saved two kicks in the penalty shootout to advance past Pepperdine, but lost in the next round.[6][7] White recorded a conference-best nine clean sheets as a senior in 2022, earning second-team All-Big 12 honors.[3]
In the 2023 season, White helped lead the Red Raiders to their first Big 12 regular-season title in program history.[4] She recorded career highs with 70 saves and 13 clean sheets (including eight home games in a row), being named the Big 12 Goalkeeper of the Year, first-team All-Big 12, and first-team All-American by United Soccer Coaches.[3][8] In the program's first NCAA championship appearance since her freshman year, she made a season-high six saves in regulation against Princeton and added a kick save in the shootout to make it to the third round, where they fell to North Carolina.[3][9] White left Texas Tech as the program leader in career shutouts (39; previously held by Victoria Esson).[3][10]
Club career
Racing Louisville
White was drafted by Racing Louisville FC 54th overall in the fourth round of the 2024 NWSL Draft.[8] On July 22, 2024, she signed a two-year contract with Racing and was immediately loaned to Dallas Trinity FC ahead of the USL Super League's inaugural season.[11]
Dallas Trinity (loan)
White made her Dallas Trinity debut in a club friendly against Barcelona at the Cotton Bowl on August 30, 2024. On September 25, she made her professional debut against Brooklyn FC and saved a penalty kick from Hope Breslin in a 2–0 defeat. Her save was later recognized as the Save of the Month.[12] She kept her first professional clean sheet, and Dallas's first as a club, in a scoreless October 16 match against DC Power FC.[13] On March 9, 2025, she helped Trinity to a 6–0 victory over then-league leaders Brooklyn FC.[14]
