After playing as a substitute and starter in her freshman season, Bennett became a regular starter at forward in her sophomore season before suffering a second ACL injury. She returned to start 23 of 24 matches in her junior year, 12 matches in the COVID-19-shortened 2020–21 spring season, and 21 matches in her fifth year in 2021.[1]
Her fifth season featured career highs in goals (10), points (24), shots (93), shots on goal (37), and minutes played (1,557), and she was named to the All-Pac-12 first team and United Soccer Coaches All-American second team. Bennett was also the second Washington State player to play in more than 90 career matches, finishing with a second-most tally of 93 appearances.[1][3]
Club career
Kansas City Current
The Kansas City Current selected Bennett with the club's first pick and the seventh pick overall of the 2022 NWSL Draft.[5][6] After playing in both and scoring in one of Kansas City's preseason matches, Bennett signed her first professional contract with the Current.[7] During the 2022 NWSL Challenge Cup, Bennett recorded four assists in her first six professional matches,[2] including a two-assist match against the Chicago Red Stars that earned her an NWSL Player of the Week award.[8] She scored her first professional goal on May 14, 2022, in a 2–2 draw with the Orlando Pride.[9]
OL Reign
On January 11, 2023, OL Reign traded $150,000 in allocation money to the Kansas City Current in exchange for Bennett.[10] She made her debut for the Reign during the club's first match of the season, coming on as a substitute in a 1–0 defeat to the Washington Spirit.[11] Bennett tallied her first goal with the Reign in a 4–1 victory over Angel City FC on May 27.[12][13] In July 2023, Bennett was nominated for NWSL Player of the Week honors after scoring a goal and recording an assist against Racing Louisville FC.[14]
Midway through the year, the Reign extended Bennett's contract through the 2024 season, with an additional year option for the 2025 season.[15] Bennett and the Reign eventually advanced to the NWSL playoffs, vanquishing Angel City FC and San Diego Wave FC before facing off against NJ/NY Gotham FC in the final. Bennett came on as a substitute in the game and was involved in a sequence resulting in opposing goalkeeper Mandy Haught receiving a red card.[16] The Reign failed to score off of the ensuing free kick, and Gotham FC secured the title with a 2–1 win.[17][18]
San Diego Wave
On December 15, 2023, the Utah Royals selected Bennett with their first pick (second overall) in the 2024 NWSL Expansion Draft.[19] Two days later, Utah traded Bennett to San Diego Wave FC for $40,000 in allocation money.[20] She debuted for the Wave as part of the starting lineup that played against Gotham FC in the one-match NWSL Challenge Cup. The Wave won the game, 1–0, marking Bennett's first title with San Diego.[21] At the end of the season, Bennett was out of contract with the Wave.[22] The club later announced that Bennett would not be returning to San Diego and would instead be exploring opportunities as a free agent.[23] Bennett departed from the Wave with 14 league appearances and 0 goals in her lone season in San Diego.[24]
Deportivo de La Coruña
Bennett signed with Spanish team Deportivo de La Coruña on February 3, 2025.[25] She scored her first Deportivo goal in the team's penultimate match of the 2024–25 Liga F season, netting the equalizer that cemented Deportivo's place above the relegation line.[26]
Orlando Pride
On August 31, 2025, Bennett returned to the NWSL, signing a short-term contract with the Orlando Pride through the end of 2025.[27] She made her first appearance for Orlando on September 2, coming on as a second-half substitute in the Pride's first-ever CONCACAF W Champions Cup match.[28] She made two other appearances for Orlando, both of which were also in CONCACAF matches, before departing from the club at the end of the season.[24]
Bennett is the daughter of National Football League coach and former player Edgar Bennett. She has one older brother, Edgar IV.[1][2] Bennett credited advice from her father, who recovered from ACL injuries during his professional football career, with aiding her recovery from her own.[3]
