Emily Pringle

College career

Penn Quakers In her first year at the University of Pennsylvania, Pringle played in 11 matches and started 6 of them. Operating primarily as a full back, she helped the Quakers' defensive unit record 4 clean sheets on the season.

During her first season back playing, Pringle ended up appearing in 15 of the Quakers' 16 games, starting all that she played in. Two weeks later, she was responsible for two assists in a 4–0 victory over Yale. Pringle's performances earned her a spot on the All-Ivy second team, her first Ivy League conference honor. She built on her success in 2022, starting a career-high 16 matches and playing 90 minutes in all except for three games. She entered the transfer portal, eyeing a move back home to California. She scored her first professional goal exactly one month after signing with Brisbane Roar, tallying in a 4–0 victory over the Western Sydney Wanderers. In March 2025, she agreed to re-sign with Brisbane for another season. Despite having gotten off to a strong start at the beginning of the campaign, the Roar's qualification to the 2024–25 finals series later appeared dubious. Pringle appeared and recorded an assist in Brisbane's must-win, penultimate match of the season, but it was not enough as the Roar fought to a draw with Western Sydney and consequently fell outside of the A-League top 6.

Pringle made her way back to her old stomping grounds of San Diego in July 2025, signing a short-term national team replacement contract with National Women's Soccer League club San Diego Wave FC. Pringle, whose contract only included two midseason friendlies against the Utah Royals, did not make an NWSL appearance with the club in the short stint. She made her Brooklyn debut on August 30, appearing in a 1–0 loss to Dallas Trinity FC. Pringle would go on to play in 6 games for Brooklyn FC before announcing her retirement from professional soccer on October 22, 2025.

Personal life Several of Pringle's family members have also found success in the world of sports. Her father, James, competed in two major tournaments with the Australian national swim team. Her uncle, Andy Burke, also played soccer for UCLA; he scored the game-winning, overtime goal in the 1985 NCAA tournament final.
