Rally Madison FC Adds Defender, Carly Christopher, To 2026 Roster
Marquette University Defender To Play For Madison
MADISON, WI: Rally Madison FC have signed Illinois-native, Carly Christopher, for their inaugural season.
Early in her career, Christopher played for Chicago FC United where she found immense success helping lead the team to finish in the top-eight in the nation in 2021 and a second place regional finish.
Christopher began her collegiate career in 2023 at Marquette University where she appeared in 33 matches across three years. She found her first goal for the Golden Eagles in 2024 against Mercyhurst and notched the game-winning assist over NIU in 2025.
“I am incredibly excited and grateful to be part of such an amazing opportunity,” said Christopher. “I can’t wait to meet so many new girls and compete alongside my college teammates. I’m also especially excited to be coached by the talented Giuliano Oliviero. I’m looking forward to growing as a player while spending time in the beautiful city of Madison.”
