College career

White became the starting goalkeeper for the Texas Tech Red Raiders as a freshman in 2019. She planned to redshirt her first year but was called into action against South Florida when Marissa Zucchetto was injured, making seven saves to win her debut. She contributed to her team's second-place finish in the Big 12 Conference, shutting out six conference opponents, and was named the Big 12 Freshman of the Year and first-team All-Big 12. In the first round of the 2019 NCAA championship, she made a career-high 11 saves in regulation and then saved two penalties in the shootout to advance past Pepperdine, but lost in the next round. White recorded a conference-best nine clean sheets as a senior in 2022, earning second-team All-Big 12 honors.
In the 2023 season, White helped lead the Red Raiders to their first Big 12 regular-season title in program history. She recorded career highs with 70 saves and 13 clean sheets, being named the Big 12 Goalkeeper of the Year, first-team All-Big 12, and first-team All-American by United Soccer Coaches. In the program's first NCAA championship appearance since her freshman year, she made a season-high six saves in regulation against Princeton and added a kick save in the shootout to make it to the third round, where they fell to North Carolina. White left Texas Tech as the program leader in career shutouts.
