A midfielder, Stark was the Nevada Gatorade Player of the Year and a High School All-American playing at Faith Lutheran High School. She amassed 60 goals and 49 assists in her high school career leading to two 5A Offensive Player of the Year honors.
As a club player, Stark spent time with Albion SC Las Vegas and was rated top 200 in the Top Drawer Soccer for the class of 2026 and No. 16 in the Rocky Mountains/Southwest Division. She earned her GA National Talent ID and twice was part of the Olympic Development Program National Team.
"Starky is equally comfortable in the front line, centrally or wide, and also in an attacking midfield spot. She is dangerous with both feet and strikes a ball really well inside and outside the 18. We have a lot of attacking talent and Starky will help to knit those pieces together." - head coach Scott Juniper
