During her four seasons she appeared in 83 games and scored 24 goals and had 6 assists.[4] Johnson was named the Most Outstanding Player on Offense in the 2016 College Cup, scoring the only goal in the semi-final and two goals in the final to lead USC to its second national championship in women's soccer.[5]
Club career
Seattle Reign, 2017
On January 12, 2017, Johnson was selected by Seattle Reign FC as the 16th overall selection in the 2017 NWSL College Draft.[6] She made her debut for the club in a match against the Houston Dash on April 22, 2017 and scored her first goal helping the Reign win 5–1.[7] Mostly coming off the bench as a substitute she finished the season with four goals and two assists.
Sky Blue, 2018-present
In January 2018, Johnson was traded to Sky Blue FC.[8] She was named Player of the Week for Week 21 of the 2018 NWSL season after scoring 2 goals in Sky Blue's 2-2 draw against the Utah Royals. [9]
International career
Johnson was eligible to play for either the United States or Mexico national teams, as she was born in the U.S. to a Mexican-born mother. She ultimately chose to represent Mexico at the senior level. Johnson made her debut on 9 December 2015 in a 0–3 loss against Canada at the International Women's Football Tournament of Natal of that year.
