Lie was born in Steinkjer and grew up in Namdalseid in Nord Trøndelag, where she started her football career with three local clubs, Namdalseid, Beitstad and Verdal. She joined Trondheims-Ørn in 1999.

Lie was the team's top scorer in four consecutive seasons from 2006 to 2009 and also became top scorer in the 2007 Toppserien.[1]

With Trondheims-Ørn, Lie won the Toppserien in 2000, 2001 and 2003, and the Norwegian Women's Cup in 1999, 2001 and 2003. The team also became runner-up in the Toppserien in 1999, 2004 and 2006, as well as in the 2010 Norwegian Women's Cup.

Lie signed a two-year contract extension to continue with Trondheims-Ørn in February 2012, and after 15 seasons with the club she played her last match at home when she got seven minutes as a substitute against Klepp in October 2013. Her last match before her retirement was the last match of the 2013 Toppserien season, away against Lillestrøm.[1]
