Erynn Marie Floyd (born April 4, 2004) is an American professional soccer player who plays as a goalkeeper for Racing Louisville FC of the National Women's Soccer League (NWSL). She played college soccer for the Louisville Cardinals.
A native of Wilton, Connecticut, Floyd attended Wilton High School.[2] She was a four-year starter for the school's varsity soccer team, earning the number one goalkeeper position from the moment she joined the squad.[3] She led Wilton to the state quarterfinals in 2018 and 2019 before captaining the team to a state title as a senior. Over her four-season career at Wilton, she recorded 39 shutouts, was a one-time high school All-American, a two-time All-New England honoree, and a three-time All-State honoree.[4] Floyd also played club soccer for local team Connecticut FC.[5]
College career
Floyd originally focused her college search on schools in the New England region for convenience and proximity to home.[6] However, after a conversation with Louisville Cardinals head coach Karen Ferguson-Dayes, Floyd decided to verbally commit to the University of Louisville in April 2021 and fulfill her dream of playing in the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC).[6][3] She ended up becoming an immediate starter for the Cardinals, coming on as a substitute in only one of her 67 appearances across four years. As a sophomore in 2023, she registered a career-high 62 saves on the season.[4] The following year, Floyd received her first conference honor, being named the ACC Defensive Player of the Week in October 2024 after recording a single-game career-high 10 saves in a shutout victory over Notre Dame. Her performance marked the first time that the Fighting Irish were held scoreless in 25 consecutive matches.[7]
In the offseason before her senior year of college, Floyd, alongside Louisville teammate Karsyn Cherry, gained experience with Lexington SC's pre-professional USL W League team. Floyd made 5 appearances and racked up 409 minutes with Lexington.[8]
As a senior in 2025, Floyd helped lead Louisville to a record-setting year in which the team broke program records for single-season goals and assists en route to the Cardinals' third-ever appearance in the second round of the NCAA tournament.[9] Floyd herself had a standout season, ranking third in the ACC with 10 clean sheets and a 0.70 goals against average.[10] In October 2025, she received her second and final ACC Defensive Player of the Week award, this time after contributing to Louisville's shutout victory over NC State.[11]
