POP Alumna Selected in 2024 NWSL Draft

A MAJOR congratulations to POP Class of 2015 graduate Madison White! With the 54th pick in the 2024 National Women's Soccer League Draft, Racing Louisville FC selected Madison at goalkeeper.

An elite athlete with a running list of records and accolades, Madison is a proud graduate of Bishop Lynch High School and Texas Tech University. Fresh off the Texas Tech women’s soccer’s first Big 12 Conference championship in program history, Madison was named the Big 12’s Goalkeeper of the Year and First Team All-American (the only Red Raider goalkeeper in program history to earn such honors). This season, Madison allowed just eleven total goals, none of which were made by Big 12 opponents in Lubbock, and engraved her name in the record books as the program’s all-time leader in goalkeeper wins (52) and shutouts (39). Impressively, Madison ended the year as the country’s only goalkeeper to be named one of fifteen semifinalists for the historic Hermann Award, an annual award honoring the top player in women’s college soccer.

We couldn’t be more #POPProud of Madison for her historic NCAA career, fourth-round selection in the 2024 NWSL Draft, or her future as a professional athlete. Madison never fails to impress us with her athleticism and poise, and we’ve no doubt that Madison will continue to shine for Christ at the next level of her soccer career. Congratulations once again, Madison — your POP family looks forward to cheering on both you and Racing Louisville FC when the NWSL season kicks off on March 15!
