Halle Elizabeth Mackiewicz (born September 24, 2001) is an American professional soccer player who plays as a goalkeeper for Chicago Stars FC of the National Women's Soccer League (NWSL). She played college soccer for the Clemson Tigers and was named the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) Goalkeeper of the Year in 2023.

Early life

[edit]

Mackiewicz was raised in Broomfield, Colorado. She played soccer as a field player before being converted to goalkeeper by the age of ten.[1] She attended Legacy High School, where she played one season of soccer as a freshman.[2] She played club soccer for Real Colorado, which she helped lead to the DA under-16/17 national championship in 2018, conceding only one goal in six games.[1] She was also a four-year starter for her high school basketball team, averaging 15.7 points and 6.2 rebounds per game.[3]

Clemson Tigers

[edit]

After two years primarily as Hensley Hancuff's backup, Mackiewicz became the primary goalkeeper for the Clemson Tigers in her junior season in 2022, starting all 18 games and keeping 7 clean sheets.[4][5] Mackiewicz had a breakout senior season in 2023, setting a program season record with 13 clean sheets (second-most in the nation) in 25 games. She helped the Tigers advance to the final of the ACC tournament and the semifinals of the NCAA tournament, both times falling to Florida State. In the NCAA tournament round of 16, she saved a penalty kick from Croix Bethune to set up a 5–3 shootout victory over Georgia after a 1–1 draw. Mackiewicz was named Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) Goalkeeper of the Year, first-team All-ACC, and second-team All-American.[4][6]

Club career

[edit]

Trelleborg

[edit]

Mackiewicz was selected 32nd overall by the Kansas City Current in the third round of the 2024 NWSL Draft but was not signed to the roster while rehabilitating after a shoulder surgery.[7][8] She instead began her professional career in Sweden, signing a one-year contract with Damallsvenskan club Trelleborg on August 20, 2024.[9] She started in the last ten weeks of the season as the club finished last in the league.[10]

Chicago Stars

[edit]

The NWSL's Chicago Stars FC announced on December 9, 2024, that the club had signed Mackiewicz to a one-year contract.[11] On May 24, 2025, she made her NWSL debut against the Kansas City Current, coming on as an injury substitute for Alyssa Naeher in stoppage time.[12]

International career

[edit]

Mackiewicz was first invited to United States youth national team camps in 2016. During training with the under-17 team at the end of 2017, she tore her UCL and was ruled out of the 2018 CONCACAF Women's U-17 Championship.[1] She returned to train with the under-17 and under-19 teams later that year and the under-20 team in 2019.[13][14][15]
