Early life

Jordan grew up in Hartland, Wisconsin, and has three brothers. Her mother, Amy, played college volleyball for Drake, and her brother Dante played soccer for UNC Asheville. She played soccer as a forward until age twelve, when the coach of her club team, SC Waukesha, asked her to play in goal; the team won six straight state cup championships from 2011 to 2017. Jordan graduated early from Arrowhead High School and began attending Purdue University in the spring of 2018.

College career

Jordan played six games for Purdue as a freshman in 2018. She began regularly starting for the Boilermakers in her sophomore season and had 66 saves to 18 goals allowed in 20 games. She shut out top seed Wisconsin with six saves in the first round of the 2019 Big Ten tournament. In the pandemic-shortened 2020–21 season, she started all 12 games and recorded 35 saves to 10 goals allowed and contributed one game-winning assist.
Jordan captained the Boilermakers in her senior season in 2021, posting seven clean sheets in 22 games and helping the team qualify for the NCAA tournament for the first time in twelve years. She set a program record with 113 saves on the season, becoming the first Boilermaker to pass the single-season 100-save mark, and earned second-team All-Big Ten honors. Fans celebrated her with the phrase "Mo says no". Jordan made six saves against Loyola Chicago in the first round of the NCAA tournament, where Purdue won 1–0 in double overtime. She made a career-high ten saves in the second round, drawing 1–1 to Notre Dame in double overtime, but lost on penalties. A three-time Academic All-Big Ten honoree, Jordan graduated from Purdue with dual Bachelor of Science and Bachelor of Arts degrees in December 2021.
