Early life

Colorado Buffaloes

Greening attended the University of Colorado Boulder from 2015 to 2018 where she got a degree in strategic communication and was a three time Pac-12 All-Academic honorable mention. She was a multi-positional player during her collegiate career, playing midfield and forward in her first two years before transitioning to full-back. In her junior year, she was part of a defensive line that kept a school-record 14 shutouts.[2]

Professional career

Orlando Pride

Greening was selected in the third round (25th overall) of the 2019 NWSL College Draft by Orlando Pride.[3] Following preseason, she was officially signed to the team's senior roster on April 10.[4] She made her professional debut on April 14 as a substitute in the team's season opener at home to Portland Thorns. She scored her first professional goal on July 14, 2019, a 90th minute equalizer against the same opposition. Portland would go on to win 4–3 in stoppage time.[5] On August 5, 2020, Greening was waived.[6]
