Early life
DeLisle was raised in Tampa, Florida, where she attended Paul R. Wharton High School.[2][3] After playing center back in her youth, DeLisle switched positions to goalkeeper due to her lack of speed and the opportunity to make diving plays.[4] A former multi-sport athlete, DeLisle played varsity soccer, volleyball, and flag football in high school before dedicating herself completely to soccer at age sixteen.[2][5] She won MVP honors in her sophomore year and was a team captain in her last two years at Wharton. DeLisle also was part of the all-state team as a Junior and twice named to the all-conference first team.[2] DeLisle completed her high school career with 76 appearances and as the record-holder in saves.[6] Outside of school, DeLisle also played club soccer for the West Florida Flames.[7]

She saved two penalty kicks in a first-round shootout against NC State, helping the team progress to the next stage of the competition, where they faced eventual champions UCLA.[11] DeLisle made several saves during the game before UCF were eventually defeated in the ensuing penalty shootout.[12] In her final year with the Knights, DeLisle became the program record holder in shutouts, tallying a total of 31 over her five seasons of soccer.[2] She left the program having played in 77 games and named as the conference goalkeeper of the week on 8 different occasions.[2][13]
