Personal: Having played out her senior season as a 15-goal, 7-assist forward for McNary High School and former head coach Josh Rios Noonkester who now directs the Corban men’s soccer team, Alston represents exactly what Coach Whyte strives to find in each of his recruiting classes for the Warrior women’s soccer program. As a three-time All-Conference selection, four-year varsity starter, leading goal scorer in 2023, and a First Team All-League striker, Alston helped lead the Celtics to a long-awaited playoff appearance for the OSAA State Tournament, which eventually led to her being selected as a nominee for both Women’s Athlete of the Year and SB Live Best Striker for the state of Oregon.

Alston will be studying business management with an emphasis in marketing as she prepares for a career in real estate/interior design.
