She played a total of 11 matches that season.[1] The following season, 2015–16, she was a member of the title winning Scorpions team in the WNCL Grand Final.[2] In December 2015, she was recruited by Wellington to compete in the New Zealand Women's Under 21 Tournament.[3]
Pope was added to the Strikers' squad for its WBBL|02 campaign (2016–17). She has been described by the Strikers as being renowned for her consistent line and length bowling.[4]
She was part of the Adelaide Strikers' squad for the 2018–19 Women's Big Bash League season.[5][6]
Despite sharing a surname and also having red hair, she is not related to fellow South Australian cricketer Lloyd Pope.[7]
Australian rules football

In 2021, she was selected by the West Coast Eagles as an injury replacement player for Mhicca Carter.[8] She made her debut in the AFL Women's league in the second round of the 2021 AFL Women's season in the Western Derby.[9] In June 2021, West Coast delisted her along with seven other players.[10]
After missing the two 2022 AFLW seasons, Pope was selected by Port Adelaide with pick 12 in the 2023 AFL Women's supplementary draft.[11]
