College career

Weinert played for the Oregon State Beavers for four seasons.[1] Having redshirted in 2017 and due to the extra year of eligibility granted to athletes in the 2020–21 academic year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Weinert transferred and played another two seasons for the Washington Huskies.[2][3]

Club career

OL Reign

Weinert joined then-OL Reign as a replacement player in June 2023.[4] She then signed for Australian club Melbourne Victory in September 2023.[5]

After a successful season in Australia,[6] Seattle Reign FC brought back Weinert in February 2024.[7]

Spokane Zephyr

On August 5, 2024, the Reign extended Weinert through the 2025 season and loaned her to USL Super League club Spokane Zephyr FC until the end of 2024.[8]

On December 10, 2024 the Reign announced they had waived Weinert, making her a free agent.[9]

Lexington SC

Weinert signed with Lexington SC on June 30, 2025.[10] She made her debut for Lexington on August 23, scoring the second goal of their season-opening 3–3 draw with Fort Lauderdale United.[11] She finished her debut season with 10 goals in 22 games as Lexington, who finished last the previous season, won the Players' Shield with the best record in the league. In the league final, she scored a 72-minute equalizer as Lexington won 3–1 over the Carolina Ascent, becoming the first team to complete the league double.[12]
