Enge will join former Stanford teammates Naomi Girma and Belle Briede in San Diego. Girma was the No. 1 overall pick in the 2022 draft before embarking on a rookie season in which she earned NWSL Rookie and Defender of the Year honors.
Enge, a midfielder from Cardiff, Calif., was named the 2022 Pac-12 Women's Soccer Scholar-Athlete of the Year. On the pitch, the United Soccer Coaches All-Region Second Team (2020-21), All-Pac-12 Third Team (2021), and United Soccer Coaches All-Region Third Team (2021) member helped lead the Cardinal to three Pac-12 Championships (2018; 2019; 2022), two College Cup appearances (2018; 2019) and one NCAA Championship (2019).
In the 2022 season, Enge scored one goal, a game-winner on the road against DePaul, and tallied six assists, tying her for the most on the squad. Her eight points on the season were a career best.
