Emory Ann Wegener (born May 4, 2000) is an American professional soccer player who plays as a goalkeeper for USL Super League club Tampa Bay Sun FC. She played college soccer for the Georgia Bulldogs and the Maryland Terrapins.

Early life

[edit | edit source]

Wegener was born to Mark and Carrie Wegener and was raised in Johns Creek, Georgia.[2] As a young child, she dabbled in tennis as well as soccer.[3] Wegener played club for Atlanta Fire United, although she chose to focus solely on high school soccer in her senior year.[4]

Wegener attended St. Pius X Catholic High School, where she helped the team win three state titles.[5] As a freshman, she made three saves in the championship-deciding penalty shoot-out victory over the Marist School.[6] In 2017, she was named her school's Most Valuable Player.[2] Wegener tore a ligament in her hand prior to St. Pius X's 2018 state championship game, but she still participated in the game as a forward. She scored a goal, but the Marist School claimed revenge and smothered any chance for St. Pius X to win its fourth state title in a row.[7]

College career

[edit | edit source]

Georgia Bulldogs

[edit | edit source]

Wegener played four seasons of college soccer with the Georgia Bulldogs, starting in 2018.[2] In September of her rookie season, she was named the SEC Freshman of the Week after performing well in her first-ever conference game.[8] Wegener ended up recording 17 starts in both of her first two college seasons and quickly rose to fifth in Georgia's all-time shutout leaderboard.[2]

Wegener was named to the SEC Preseason Watchlist ahead of her junior year and soon justified the recognition, posting a season that earned her a spot on the All-SEC second team.[5] Her 7 shutouts was second in the conference and her save percentage ranked third.[2] Wegener played one more season at Georgia, playing 18 full matches and registering a career-high 70 saves. She finished her career with the Bulldogs having started all 66 games in which she appeared.[2]

Maryland Terrapins

[edit | edit source]

As a graduate student, Wegener transferred to the University of Maryland, College Park. She played in 6 games for the Terrapins,[9] splitting time with senior Madeline Smith.[10] In October 2022, Wegener made a season-high 7 saves as Michigan State extended Maryland's losing streak to 4 consecutive games.[9][11]

Club career

Asheville City

[edit | edit source]

After going undrafted in the 2022 NWSL Draft,[12] Wegener spent time as a preseason non-roster invitee with NWSL expansion club San Diego Wave FC.[13] However, it was fellow trialist Melissa Lowder who instead won the Wave's third-string goalkeeper spot.[14] Wegener instead joined pre-professional club Asheville City SC ahead of the inaugural USL W League season. She made 9 appearances in 2022, posting a 1.48 goals-against average.[15] The following season, Wegener returned to Asheville City as an assistant coach. She also spent time as the goalkeeping director for local North Carolina youth club HFC United.[15]

Tampa Bay Sun

[edit | edit source]

On July 18, 2025, Wegener signed her first professional contract with USL Super League club Tampa Bay Sun FC.[16] She made her pro debut on September 20, 2025, playing in a 1–1 draw with the Dallas Trinity.[17]
