Ally Sentnor

Club career Utah Royals Sentnor was selected first overall in the 2024 NWSL Draft by the Utah Royals, who were returning to the NWSL after a four-year absence; she and North Carolina teammate Savy King were the top two picks. She was signed to a three-year contract. She made her professional debut in the first game of the season, starting in a 2–0 defeat to the Chicago Red Stars on March 16. The following week, she scored her first professional goal against the North Carolina Courage, shooting from the corner of the penalty box off a long dribble, as the Royals won 2–1 at home. She was deployed as a winger at the start of the season, scoring or assisting on five of Utah's first seven goals, before moving to a more playmaking role as an attacking midfielder at the end of June.

Sentnor won both NWSL Rookie of the Month and Player of the Month in July after registering three goals and an assist in four games and leading the bottom-of-the-league Royals to top their group in the NWSL x Liga MX Femenil Summer Cup. She finished her rookie season with 5 goals and 5 assists in 23 games in all competitions. She was named her club's Offensive Player of the Year and was one of three nominees for NWSL Rookie of the Year, losing to Croix Bethune.

On April 18, 2025, Sentnor scored the second-latest game-winning goal in NWSL history, with her 90+10th-minute penalty kick securing a 1–0 win against the Chicago Stars. It was her only NWSL goal of the season and Utah's only win before the summer break.

Kansas City Current On August 1, 2025, the Royals traded Sentnor to the Kansas City Current in exchange for a total fee of $600,000 in intraleague transfer funds to be paid across three seasons. It was the most expensive intraleague transfer at the time. The move also united Sentnor with her close friend Claire Hutton. She made her Current debut in an immediate return to America First Field, replacing Debinha at halftime in a 1–0 victory over the Royals. She played in 11 regular-season games as the Current clinched the NWSL Shield with the best record in the league. She made her playoff debut in the quarterfinals as the Current were upset 2–1 by eventual champions Gotham FC in extra time.

Angel City

On June 19, 2026, the Current traded Sentnor to Angel City FC for $850,000 in intraleague transfer funds. Sentnor debuted for Angel City on July 3, 2026, earning the start in a 2–0 win over the Orlando Pride. On Sunday August 16th, Sentnor scored her first goal for Angel City, an equalizer in the 85th minute vs the Washington Spirit.

International career

Youth national team Sentnor was selected to the train with the United States under-14 team at the age of 12 in June 2016, the youngest player called into the camp. At age 13, she scored five goals in two friendlies for the under-15s in Germany in November 2017. She also played for the under-16s that year and was under consideration for the roster for the 2018 FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup, but ultimately not selected to join players three years above her age group. She was the under-17 team's leading goalscorer in 2019, also scoring two goals in two games for the under-18s against England at the start of the year. In 2020, because of the COVID-19 pandemic, her age group's CONCACAF Women's U-17 Championship and FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup were canceled.

Wearing the captain's armband, Sentnor led the United States to third place at the 2024 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup, the country's best result since 2012, scoring three goals in seven games. In the quarterfinals, trailing Germany 2–0, the United States came back in the last moments of regulation with a goal from Jordynn Dudley and an own goal forced by Sentnor in the 90+8th and 90+9th minutes; in a penalty shootout, Sentnor converted her opening kick as the United States advanced. After falling to eventual champions North Korea in the semifinals, Sentnor opened scoring in the third-place match, a 2–1 victory over the Netherlands. She was awarded the Bronze Ball as the third-most outstanding player of the tournament. Following her senior debut later that year, she was named U.S. Soccer Young Female Player of the Year for 2024.

Senior national team Head coach Emma Hayes gave Sentnor her first senior national team call-up on November 18, 2024, ahead of international friendlies against England and the Netherlands. She made her senior debut against England at Wembley Stadium on November 30, coming on as an 88th-minute substitute for Lindsey Horan in the 0–0 draw. On February 20, 2025, she made her first senior international start and scored her first goal for the team, striking from long range to go up 2–0 against Colombia in the 2025 SheBelieves Cup. The goal was nominated for the FIFA Marta Award. With two goals and an assist, she was the sixth player to record goal contributions in all three games at one SheBelieves Cup.

Personal life Sentnor is the oldest of three children born to Richard and Lee Sentnor. She shares her hometown of Hanson, Massachusetts (population 10,000), with United States internationals Sam and Kristie Mewis, with whom she trained a few times growing up. Houston, Texas 60' Tara McKeown
