Shelby Danielle Money (born April 22, 1997) is an American professional soccer player who plays as a goalkeeper for Þór/KA of the Besta deild kvenna. She played college soccer for the Rowan Profs and previously played with Racing Louisville FC in the National Women’s Soccer League.

Early life

[edit]

Money grew up in Vineland, New Jersey.[2] She started playing as a goalkeeper at the age of 11 and spent her youth playing club soccer with the New Jersey Rush.[3][4] Money attended Vineland High School and played varsity soccer for four years. Although she was a backup goalie in her freshman year,[3] Money eventually assumed Vineland's starting spot in later seasons and was a team captain in her last two years of high school.[2] She graduated from Vineland High tied for having the fifth-best academic record in her class.[5]

College career

[edit]

Money was a four-year starter for the Rowan Profs.[6] In her freshman year, she played and started 12 games.[2] One of Money's starts occurred in Rowan's NCAA tournament third-round loss against Messiah College, in which she made 9 saves.[7] Money continued to get playing time, and she increased her tally to 19 starts the following season. She recorded an 11-game shutout streak at the start of her sophomore year and only allowed 8 goals across the entire campaign.[2][8] Money was subsequently named to the All-Conference first team. 2017 was another successful year for Money, who was named to the All-Conference second team and conceded only 7 goals, one less than the year previous.[2] In her final year of college, Money started every game for the Profs and captained the squad.[2] She was named to the All-American third team, All-Conference first team, South Atlantic Region first team,[6] and Scholar All-America second team.[9][10] Money completed her college career as a chart-topper, setting program records for shutouts, goals against, and career wins.[6][11] She was also a three-time conference Defensive Player of the Week and a two-time NJAC Goalkeeper of the Year.[2]

Club career

[edit]

Washington Spirit Reserves

[edit]

Ahead of the 2019 NWSL College Draft, Money was among the list of players registered for selection. However, she was ultimately not picked by any club.[4] Instead, Money spent 2019 playing with the Washington Spirit's reserve team. She helped the squad win a CCL Pro23 championship, making 3 saves in the final and recording 7 clean sheets across the season.[12] The following year, Money joined the OL Reign in 2020 preseason as a non-rostered invitee. She did not make the Reign's final squad.[13]

Racing Louisville

[edit]

In 2021, Money again started the NWSL preseason as a trialist, this time for expansion club Racing Louisville FC.[14] She ended up signing her first professional contract with Racing Louisville in April 2021.[15][16] In their inaugural season, Louisville finished 9th overall in the league and failed to qualify for the NWSL playoffs.[17] Money did not make any appearances in her lone season with Louisville.[18]

Þór/KA

[edit]

On March 26, 2024, Money signed a contract with Icelandic top-flight club Þór/KA.[19] She starred in 12 Besta deild kvenna league matches in her first season with Þór/KA.[20] Money also made 3 Icelandic Women's Football Cup appearances and made a crucial penalty save in Þór/KA's 1–0 quarterfinal victory over FH.[21][22]

Coaching career

[edit]

Money spent five years coaching at The Keeper Academy, working under fellow Vineland native and Money's former coach Jill Loyden.[16] In October 2020, Money joined the Saint Joseph's Hawks as an assistant coach.[23]
