Kelsey Turnbow (born January 10, 1999) is an American retired professional soccer player who played as a forward for San Diego Wave FC of the National Women's Soccer League (NWSL), the highest division of women's professional soccer in the United States. She began her professional career with Wave FC following an accomplished collegiate career with Santa Clara.

Early life[edit]

Turnbow played high school soccer for Central Valley High SchoolinSpokane Valley, Washington and Pinnacle High SchoolinPhoenix, Arizona. She also regularly played for the U.S. youth national teams.[1]

Santa Clara[edit]

Turnbow helped Santa Clara win the 2020 NCAA Women's Division I championship, scoring in regulation and the penalty kick shootout in the final,[2] and was named the 2020–21 College Cup Offensive Most Outstanding Player. She had previously been named the 2017 West Coast Conference Freshman of the Year among other accolades.[3] Following the title, Turnbow was named the TopDrawerSoccer National Player of the Year.[4] Although the team fell in the semifinals of the 2021 College Cup, Turnbow was named a MAC Hermann Trophy finalist and First Team All-American.[2]

Club career[edit]

In the second round of the 2021 NWSL Draft, with the 18th overall pick, the Chicago Red Stars selected Turnbow from Santa Clara.[5] However, Turnbow opted not to join the Red Stars for the 2021 NWSL season and returned to Santa Clara, where she led the team to the semifinals of the 2021 NCAA College Cup.[6]

San Diego Wave FC[edit]

In December 2021, the San Diego Wave Futbol Club announced it had acquired the rights to Mexican international Katie Johnson, Makenzy Doniak, and Turnbow in a trade with the Chicago Red Stars.[7] Turnbow made her club debut in March 2022 as a starter in Wave FC's inaugural match against Angel City FC.[8]

Turnbow recorded her first professional assist on April 17, 2022, during the 2022 NWSL Challenge Cup, on a goal by Jodie Taylor against Portland Thorns,[9] and her first league assist on May 15, also to Taylor, against the Red Stars.[10]

ESPN writer Jeff Kassouf included Turnbow as part of the league's best-ever rookie class, and cited her as a key midfielder and frequent leader of San Diego's pressing attack.[11]

Turnbow announced her retirement on January 26, 2024, as she was pursuing a career in Commercial Real Estate in Nashville, Tennessee.[12]
