Goodson was born in Ramona, California. She attended Cathedral Catholic High School where she was a four-year letterwinner and was named to the All-CIF First Team. She was a member of the CIF San Diego Section and Western League Championship teams from 2005 to 2007. Goodson was named All-North County twice and All-Western League twice.

After spending the first two years of her college career at the University of Texas where she played midfielder for the Texas Longhorns, Goodson transferred to the University of California, Irvine where she played for the UCI Anteaters from 2010 to 2011. During her two seasons at Irvine, the squad made it to the NCAA Tournament for the first two times in school history.
