Emma Jaskaniec

College career At age 14, Jaskaniec committed to the University of Wisconsin–Madison. She graduated a year early and started playing with the Wisconsin Badgers in 2019. Jaskaniec started all of Wisconsin's games in her sophomore and junior year.

Despite being sidelined for the remainder of her senior year, Jaskaniec was named the Big Ten Midfielder of the Year and included in the All-American Second Team. In 2023, she returned to the field for her final college season as a redshirt senior. After leading the team in points and scoring 9 goals in the final 10 games of the season, Jaskaniec was named to the All-Big Ten and All-Region first teams. She was picked in the second round and 26th overall after a hectic draft night that included a power outage. Although Jaskaniec was included in the Royals' 2024 preseason roster, the club ultimately did not sign her ahead of their return season to the NWSL.

On May 23, 2024, Jaskaniec signed her first professional contract with USL Super League club Spokane Zephyr FC. She scored her first goal with Spokane on October 13, 2024, in a 3–2 defeat at the hands of Lexington SC. She ended up making a total of 27 appearances (25 starts) in her rookie season with the Zephyr.

In Spokane's third match of the 2025–26 season, Jaskaniec scored a 90th-minute, long-distance goal against Brooklyn FC to tie the game, 1–1, and snatch a point for the Zephyr. Her goal was later named the USL Super League's goal of the month for September 2025. The Zephyr went on to experience some difficulties through the start of its second season as the club underwent a coaching change. On December 6, 2025, Jaskaniec scored Spokane's first goal in over a month against league leaders Lexington SC that nearly secured a victory before Addie McCain scored a late equalizer. At the end of the season, she was named to the USL Super League All-League Second Team. Jaskaniec is the club's all-time leader in appearances, with 55.

DC Power FC

On July 7, 2026, it was announced that Jaskaniec had joined fellow USL Super League club DC Power FC alongside former Zephyr teammate Sarah McCoy. She debuted for the club on August 15, 2026, earning the start in DC Power's season-opening loss to the Carolina Ascent. The following match, Jaskaniec scored her first goal for DC, contributing to a 4–1 win over Brooklyn FC. She has cited meditation as a key activity that has improved her mental health and playing performance.
