Early life

[edit]

Born to parents Mollie and Kenny Smith, Sophia was raised in Windsor near Fort Collins, Colorado with her two older sisters Gabrielle and Savannah.[2][3] Smith's father played basketball at the University of Wyoming and her older sister Savannah played basketball at the University of Northern Colorado where she was the all-time leading scorer.[3][4]

Sophia's father said he knew when Sophia was 6 years old that she would be a soccer star after watching her dominate a 3-on-3 league.[5] On a car ride to one of her games, she told her father she was going to score ten goals, which she did accomplish.[4] Smith began playing co-ed soccer as a young child. She played U-6 through U-10 with the Timnath Twisters and U-11 through U-13 with Arsenal Colorado.[6] She won two state cups with Arsenal Colorado in 2012 and 2013.[6]

Smith attended Fossil Ridge High School in Fort Collins, where she played for the varsity soccer and basketball teams as a freshman. She notched 10 goals and 4 assists in just 8 games and was named First-Team All-Conference.[6] Smith also played for the varsity basketball team.[6] She played club soccer for Real Colorado and was first called up to the U-14 national team in 2013.[2] With Real Colorado, Smith and the team finished runners-up at the ECNL National Championship in 2014 and 2016 and finished in fourth-place in 2015.[6] As a high schooler, Smith and her family would frequently drive 3–4 hours from Fort Collins to Denver and back for soccer practice with youth national teams. She earned a call up to the senior national team at age 16.[7][8]

College career

[edit]

Smith attended Stanford University where she played for the Cardinal. She finished her abbreviated collegiate career as a two-time Pac-12 Champion and NCAA Champion after just two seasons.[3]

During her freshman season in 2018, Smith scored 7 goals and recorded 2 assists in 13 appearances.[3] She led the Pac-12 Conference with three game-winning goals and was named to the All-Pac-12 freshman and second teams.[3]

During the 2019 season, Smith scored 17 goals and provided 9 assists in 21 appearances. She was named to the Hermann Trophy watch list[3] and helped lead the Cardinal to win the 2019 NCAA College Cup. She scored a hat-trick in the semi-final leading Stanford to defeat the UCLA Bruins.[9] Stanford went on to win the national title via a penalty shootout in the final.[10] Smith was named the College Cup's Most Outstanding Offensive Player and earned All-Tournament team honors. She was named to the All-Pac-12 second team and tied for the seventh-most goals in Cardinal history.[3]

Club career

[edit]
Smith playing for Portland Thorns FC at the 2022 NWSL Championship.

Smith was the #1 pick at the 2020 NWSL College Draft and selected by Portland Thorns FC.[11] Smith's first season with the Thorns was sidetracked by a foot injury and the COVID-19 pandemic.[8] She made four appearances during the NWSL Fall Series and scored one goal in a 3–0 win against the Utah Royals FC.[12] The Thorns finished in first place with a 3–0–1 record.[13]

Smith was a starting forward in 17 of her 22 appearances in the 2021 season and scored seven goals.[14] During her regular season league debut on May 16, 2021, Smith scored a brace against the Chicago Red Stars in a 5–0 win.[15] Portland finished in first place winning the NWSL Shield and earned a berth to the NWSL Playoffs where they were defeated by the Chicago Red Stars in the semi-finals.[16]

Smith scored three goals in five matches in the 2022 NWSL Challenge Cup.[14] She earned league MVP honors for the 2022 NWSL season. The Thorns won the NWSL Championship, with Smith scoring the first goal, and she was named Championship MVP.[17]

On April 1, 2023, Smith scored her first professional hat-trick in a 4–1 victory against Kansas City Current.[18] She was named NWSL Player of the Month for March/April and to the NWSL Best XI of the month.[19] Two months later in June, she was named NWSL Player of the Month for the second time during the 2023 season after scoring six goals in four matches.[20] Despite a knee injury that kept her out for three games after returning from the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup, Smith went on to finish the 2023 season as the league's top scorer. She secured the NWSL Golden Boot after scoring 11 goals in 17 matches and she was named to the NWSL Best XI for the second time in her career at the conclusion of the season.[21][22] In 2024 she was signed by the Thorns to a two-year contract extension that made her the highest paid player in the NWSL.[23]
