Jasmine Aikey (/ˈeɪki/ AY-kee; born July 7, 2005) is an American college soccer player for the Stanford Cardinal. She helped the Cardinal reach the final of the NCAA tournament and was named first-team All-American as a sophomore in 2023. She represented the United States at the 2023 CONCACAF Women's U-20 Championship, where they were runners-up.

Early life

edit

Aikey was born in Burlingame, California, to Merline Saintil and Greg Aikey, and grew up in Palo Alto.[2] She played club soccer for the San Jose Earthquakes academy team as a high school freshman before joining MVLA Soccer Club, where she played alongside future Stanford teammates Elise Evans and Allie Montoya.[2][3] She won the DA under-15 national championship in 2019 and the ECNL under-17 national title in 2021, scoring the only goal in the latter final.[2][4] She graduated from Bryant Academy in 2022.[2]

College career

edit

Aikey started 16 of 22 games in her freshman season with the Stanford Cardinal in 2022, helping win the Pac-12 Conference regular-season title.[2] She scored her first college hat trick against Oregon State and took a haul of four goals against SJSU in the first round of the NCAA tournament.[5][6] She led the Cardinal in scoring with 10 goals and was named to the All-Pac-12 second team and freshman team.[2] The following summer, she played for USL W League club San Francisco Glens, which went on to reach the national semifinals.[7][8]

In her sophomore year in 2023, Aikey scored directly from a corner in a comeback win over St. Mary's.[9] She scored a hat trick in the last game of the regular season against rival California.[10] Stanford went undefeated all the way to the final of the NCAA tournament, where they lost to Florida State.[11] Aikey provided a conference-high 12 assists on the season, including at least one in every game of the NCAA tournament.[12][13] Her 11 goals were second most for the Cardinal, just one behind Maya Doms. After the season, Aikey was named the Pac-12 midfielder of the year, first-team All-Pac-12, and first-team All-American.[2][14]

Aikey was moved to center back at the start of her junior season in 2024.[15]

International career

edit

Aikey was invited to training camps with the United States youth national team at the under-14, under-15, and under-17 levels before being selected to the under-20 roster for the 2023 CONCACAF Women's U-20 Championship.[2] She scored her first under-20 international goal in the tournament semifinals, opening in a 2–1 win over Costa Rica; the United States fell to Mexico in the final.[16][17]
