One of the top forwards in the NCAA has found her first professional home.
Today, Racing Louisville announced that Maja Lardner has signed a two-year contract through 2027 with a mutual option for 2028.
“I chose to sign with Racing Louisville because of the incredible culture they’ve built and the clear vision for where the club is headed,” Lardner said. “From my conversations with Bev and Caitlyn, I felt so supported and excited about the opportunity to learn and grow alongside such a competitive group. This is such a special step in my career, and I’m so grateful for the chance to contribute and help build on Racing’s incredible success!”
The Georgetown Hoyas forward scored 31 goals and tallied 20 assists over five years. She was named United Soccer Coaches Second Team All-American and was awarded Big East Offensive Player of the Year in two consecutive seasons.
“Maja brings versatility across the front line and is relentless in her press,” Racing head coach Bev Yanez said. “She enjoys getting in behind the back line, works extremely hard, and we’re excited to welcome her to the group.”
The star led the Hoyas to a perfect 10-0-0 conference record in 2025.
“Maja is an athletically gifted forward, with tremendous speed, physicality and leaping ability,” Racing general manager Caitlyn Flores Milby said. “She showed terrific finishing skill in college as well. She fits the exact profile of what Racing Louisville looks for in a No. 9, and we’re excited to see what she does in lavender.”
