Perspective
Hisey grew up in Tucson, Arizona, the daughter of Jason Hisey and Faith Trippett, both of whom graduated from the University of Arizona. Her father played minor league baseball as a pitcher and was formerly the head baseball coach at Pima Community College.[3][4] Hisey began playing soccer at age eight.[5] She attended Canyon Del Oro High School in Oro Valley, Arizona, where she captained the soccer team and was named all-state in her senior year. She played club soccer for FC Tucson.[3]
Arizona Wildcats
Hisey became the full-time starting keeper for the Arizona Wildcats during her freshman season in 2019, recording 9 clean sheets in 17 games and earning Pac-12 Conference all-freshman honors. Arizona qualified for NCAA tournament, winning one round in a shutout.[3][6] She started all 15 games and kept 7 clean sheets in the 2020 season, which was postponed to the spring because of the COVID-19 pandemic.[3][5] Before the 2021 season, new head coach Becca Moros asked Hisey to practice using her feet and become involved in build-play for the first time.[7] She played every minute of her junior season and made a career-high 102 saves but was only able to keep one shutout in 18 games. In the 2022 season, she was named to the All-Pac-12 third team, making 61 saves to keep 6 clean sheets in 18 games.[3] The following summer, she trained with National Women's Soccer League club Kansas City Current.[7] In the 2023 season, using her fifth year of eligibility granted to athletes because of the pandemic, she made 77 saves for 4 shutouts in 19 games.[3] She saved three penalty kicks within the first eight games of the season.[8] She left Arizona as the all-time leader in career saves (366) and second in shutouts (24).[3][9]
