Hintzen was highly recruited out of high school. She received offers from: SMU, Oklahoma, TCU and UCLA among others.[1] However, she decided to join the University of Texas, where she was regarded as one of the team's most important players.[2]

During her college career, Hintzen earned numerous accolades including Big 12 Conference Offensive Player of the Year (2018), Freshman of the Year (2016), and All-Big 12 Conference First Team honors in 2017 and 2018.[3] Hintzen also lead the Longhorns in goals and assists in 2017 and 2018.[4][5]

Club career

Hintzen was selected 31st overall by the Utah Royals in the 2020 NWSL draft.[6] However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the NWSL cancelled the 2020 regular season and Hintzen did not sign with the team.

Valur & Perth Glory

Between 2021 and 2023, Hintzen played in two leagues with opposite seasons: Valur in Iceland and Perth Glory in Australia.

Valur

Hintzen signed her first professional contract with Icelandic club Valur, contributing to the team's consecutive league titles in 2021 and 2022.[7] She made her professional debut on July 6, 2021, as a 59th-minute substitute in a 2–1 victory over Selfoss. Later that month, she scored her first professional goal against Fylkir in the 17th minute. Hintzen recorded her first career brace on August 20, 2021, during a third place match in the UEFA Women's Champions League qualifying round against Zürich.

During the 2022-23 UEFA Women's Champions League qualifying rounds, Hintzen scored two goals, helping Valur advance to the second round, where they were ultimately eliminated by Slavia Prague.

Perth Glory

[edit]

Hintzen signed with Australian club Perth Glory in September 2021.[8] She scored her first goal for the team during her debut on January 1, 2022, in a 4–2 loss to Adelaide United.[9] Hintzen was Perth's top scorer for the 2021–22 season with five goals and was named A-League Players' Player of the Year in her second season.

Hintzen was called up to the United States under-19 team in 2015.[12]
