Early life
Born in Dallas, Texas, Washington was a standout soccer player for Hebron High School and was named the Texas High School District 6-6A MVP Midfielder of the Year in both her junior and senior seasons. As a sophomore she helped guide Hebron to a 24-2-2 record and a 5A State championship. She played club soccer Solar Chelsea SC and the Dallas Texans SC, and was a six-year starter between the two club teams from 2011 to 2016 in the ECNL.[1]
Bowling Green Falcons
Washington played college soccer at Bowling Green State University. She was a four-year starter between 2016 and 2019 as the team won two regular season and two MAC Tournament titles. She earned multiple individual accolades during her tenure including Mid-American Conference Offensive Player of the Year in 2019 and All-MAC First Team selections in both 2018 and 2019. In 2019, Washington was named to the United Soccer Coaches All-Midwest Region First Team, becoming the second player in school history to earn all-region first-team accolades.[1][2]
In the 2018 and 2019 offseasons, Washington played for WPSL club FC Dallas, making 14 appearances and scoring one goal.[3]
Professional career
Orlando Pride
Washington was selected in the fourth round (30th overall) of the 2020 NWSL College Draft by Orlando Pride.[2] In doing so she became the first player in program history to be drafted.[4] With the season disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic, Washington originally signed a short-term contract with Orlando ahead of the 2020 NWSL Challenge Cup before the team was forced to withdraw.[5][6] In September, Washington was signed through the 2021 season and made her debut on September 19, 2020, in the first Fall Series match, entering as an 87th minute substitute in a 0–0 draw with North Carolina Courage.[7][8] She appeared in all four Fall Series matches for a combined 191 minutes.[9]
On November 1, 2021, Washington joined Australian A-League Women team Canberra United on loan for the 2021–22 season having had her 2022 club option exercised by Orlando.[10] She made 13 appearances and scored three goals, the joint second-most on the team.[9]
Washington was released upon the expiry of her Orlando Pride contract in November 2022.[11]
