2024/2025 Season
Lexington Sporting Club announced the official signing of Trinity Watson to its inaugural USL Super League roster on Tuesday, July 2nd with Watson becoming the latest standout from the 2024 USL W League season to make the jump.

Before Lexington Sporting Club
A native of San Diego, California, Watson began her soccer career with the U.S. Youth National Teams, representing the country at the U14 and U17 levels between 2013 and 2016.
She went on to play NCAA Division I soccer at Pepperdine University, where she was a five-year standout for the Waves from 2018 to 2022. In her sophomore season, Watson started all 20 matches, helped lead the team to 10 shutouts, and earned All-WCC First Team and United Soccer Coaches All-West Region Second Team honors. That year marked the beginning of a consistently strong defensive presence, as the Waves remained nationally ranked throughout all five seasons of her collegiate career.
As a junior, she returned to the All-WCC First Team, and as a senior, she earned United Soccer Coaches All-West Region First Team honors while leading the team to 13 shutouts—just one shy of the program record. In her fifth and final year, Watson was named to the MAC Hermann Trophy Watchlist, a recognition given to top players in collegiate soccer. She graduated in 2022 with a degree in communications.
Following graduation, Watson trialed with two NWSL clubs—Racing Louisville FC and San Diego Wave—before signing with Indy Eleven in the USL W League. There, she played a pivotal role in helping Indy capture the 2023 USL W League Championship.
She then signed with Apollon Ladies FC in Cyprus, contributing to the club’s UEFA Women’s Champions League qualification campaign. Apollon advanced through several rounds before being eliminated in the final stage by Benfica, who ultimately qualified for the knockout phase of the tournament.
In 2024, Watson brought her wealth of experience and defensive leadership to Lexington Sporting Club, further strengthening the back line with her collegiate success and international competition experience.
