Faith Webber (born October 10, 2002) is an American professional soccer player who plays as a forward for Sydney FC of the A-League Women (ALW). After two seasons with the NJCAA DIII champion Delta Pioneers, she played college soccer for the Utah Valley Wolverines, setting a program record with 70 career goals. She twice led NCAA Division I in goals or goals per game.

Early life

[edit]

Webber grew up in Grand Blanc, Michigan.[1] She played high school soccer for two seasons at Grand Blanc High School, scoring 58 goals, reaching two MHSAA D1 finals, and being named all-state.[1] She also played club soccer for Nationals in the Girls Academy.[1] During her sophomore year, she committed to play NCAA Division I college soccer for Michigan State along with her older sister, Paige, who later transferred to Indiana.[2] However, after her sophomore season, she decided to take a break from the sport for a while.[3] After graduating from high school, she enrolled in Delta College, a two-year community college in University Center, Michigan.[3]

College career

[edit]

Delta College

[edit]

Webber joined the Delta College Pioneers in the spring of 2021, leading the NJCAA Division III with 24 goals in 12 games as a freshman.[4] She helped the Pioneers win their first NJCAA DIII national title and was named tournament MVP after scoring six goals in three games in the tournament.[5] In the fall of 2021, she ranked second in the NJCAA with 35 goals in 17 games for Delta College.[6] She again led the Pioneers to the NJCAA DIII national title game and was named the tournament Most Valuable Offensive Player after scoring five goals for the runners-up.[7] She was named first-team NJCAA DIII All-American both seasons and was named the MCCAA Player of the Year in 2021.[8][9] She later said her time at Delta College rekindled the "passion for the game that I had when I was a kid".[3]

Utah Valley

[edit]

Looking for an opportunity in NCAA Division I, Webber found the Utah Valley Wolverines through connections to head coach Chris Lemay, a fellow Michigan native.[3] In the summer of 2021, she committed to join the program after her fall campaign with Delta College.[10] She also played for USL W League club Detroit City in the summer of 2022.[11] In her debut season at Utah Valley in 2022, she scored a then program record 14 goals in 22 games, earning first-team All-WAC honors.[1] She helped the Wolverines to the WAC regular-season title, the WAC tournament final, and the program's first at-large NCAA tournament entry.[1]

Webber broke her own program record with 16 goals in 19 games in 2023, including a hat trick against the No. 19–ranked USC Trojans.[1] She broke the record again with 18 goals in 19 games in 2024, leading NCAA Division I in goals per game, and helping the Wolverines to their third consecutive WAC regular-season title.[1] During the season, she passed Heather Stainbrook as the top scorer in program history.[12] She was named first-team All-WAC for the third time and was named the WAC Offensive Player of the Year in 2024.[1] TopDrawerSoccer ranked her as the 56th-best player in the nation in 2023 and 37th in 2024.[13][14]

The following summer, Webber played for Austin Rise FC at the Soccer Tournament 2025.[15] After an NCAA rule change that stopped counting junior college seasons against NCAA eligibility, she decided to return to Utah Valley for a fourth and final season in 2025.[15] She had also trained with the Utah Royals and San Diego Wave of the National Women's Soccer League (NWSL).[15] She topped her scoring record once more with 22 goals in 22 games, earning first-team All-WAC honors for the fourth time in four years.[1] She tied with Colorado's Hope Leyba for the most goals in NCAA Division I.[16] She helped win her fourth consecutive WAC regular-season title, again reaching the WAC tournament final, and earned a second at-large bid into the NCAA tournament.[17] TopDrawerSoccer ranked her 20th in the nation in 2025.[18]

Club career

[edit]

Tampa Bay Sun

[edit]

NWSL expansion team Denver Summit FC announced on January 17, 2026, that they had signed Webber to her first professional contract on a one-year deal.[19] She soon joined USL Super League club Tampa Bay Sun on loan for the rest of their season in a swap deal for Natasha Flint.[20] On February 21, she thought she scored her first professional goal against Fort Lauderdale United, but it was officially credited as an own goal off the goalkeeper.[21] She got her first goal in a 2–0 victory over DC Power FC on March 27, winning USL Super League Goal of the Month for the impressive volley.[22] She finished the loan with 2 goals in 14 appearances.[23]

Sydney FC

[edit]

In August 2026, Webber joined Australian club Sydney FC.[24]
