Early life
[edit]Lowenberg grew up in Trumbull, Connecticut, one of two children born to Paul Lowenberg and Magda Elmaghrabi.[3] She began playing soccer when she was young and moved up two age groups by the time she was eight.[4] She also trained in mixed martial arts and achieved a second-degree black belt.[5] She played club soccer for Connecticut FC, earning ECNL all-conference honors.[6] She played four years for the varsity team at Trumbull High School, earning all-state honors twice and totaling 33 goals and 56 assists.[4] She developed as an attacking or central midfielder who could also play at center back or forward.[4] She committed to play college soccer for Boston College the summer before her junior year.[7] In 2021, she was named MVP of the High School All-American Game after playing center back for East in a 5–0 victory.[4]
College career
[edit]Lowenberg played for the Boston College Eagles from 2022 to 2025, appearing in 67 games, starting 41, and scoring 7 goals.[3] Positionally flexible, she played multiple roles for the team across her career.[8] She recorded career highs with 3 goals and 16 starts in her senior season.[3] Earlier that year, she played in both exhibition games for the Vermont Green women's team coached by Sam Mewis, scoring a stellar goal from distance in the first game and wearing the captain's armband in the second.[9]
Club career
[edit]National Women's Soccer League (NWSL) expansion team Boston Legacy FC announced on December 3, 2025, that they had signed Lowenberg to her first professional contract on a two-year deal with the club option for another year.[10] She was the tenth player and first local college product signed to the team.[11] She made her professional debut on May 30, 2026, as a late substitute for Emerson Elgin in a 1–0 loss to the Kansas City Current.[12]
On July 10, 2026, Lowenberg joined USL Super League club Brooklyn FC on loan for the rest of the year.[13] She made her Super League debut on August 15, 2026, earning the start in Brooklyn's season-opening defeat to Lexington SC.[14]
