"I literally tell myself do whatever you have to do to win the game, who cares if you twist an ankle. Don't go in scared. I want to take the team as far as we can go and be the best I can for everybody around me."

Summer leagues
For five summer seasons, from 2010 to 2014, Berryhill played in the Women's Premier Soccer League with Phoenix Del Sol.[18] She first played with Phoenix in 2010, following her sophomore year of high school, and scored one goal in eight appearances while helping the club to an appearance in the WPSL playoffs.[19] Berryhill scored once in six appearances in 2011 and added a further seven appearances in 2012 before going to Arizona State.[20][21] She continued to play for Phoenix following her first two collegiate seasons, scoring once in seven appearances during the 2013 campaign.[22] Berryhill was also on the roster for the 2014 season after her sophomore year at ASU.[23]
Following her junior collegiate season, Berryhill switched clubs and leagues and joined
Club career
Portland Thorns
Berryhill was drafted by Portland Thorns FC with the 21st overall pick of the 2016 NWSL College Draft. She was one of two Arizona State players selected, as her Sun Devil teammate Cali Farquharson went to Washington Spirit with the 12th overall pick.[26] After taking part in preseason, Berryhill officially signed with the Thorns on April 11.[27] She made her club and professional debut on May 29, playing 27 minutes of a 0–0 draw against Seattle Reign. She replaced Christine Sinclair at halftime, but was herself substituted for Shade Pratt in the 72nd minute.[28] Berryhill appeared in four other games for Portland, all coming in consecutive matches from July 2–30.[2] She was waived by the Thorns on August 30 in order to free up a roster spot to activate Kendall Johnson from the disabled list.[29]
Orlando Pride
On August 31, 2016, one day after being waived by Portland, Berryhill was claimed off waivers by National Women's Soccer League (NWSL) expansion club Orlando Pride.[30] Although she was named to the bench twice, she did not appear during the Pride's final four matches of the 2016 season, but still had her contract option picked up at the end of the year.[2][31] On the first day of preseason in 2017, Berryhill failed her medical due to a series of concussions suffered while she was at Arizona State.[32] Unable to get medical clearance, she was placed on the season-ending injury list.[33] At the end of the year, the Pride put Berryhill on the NWSL Re-Entry Wire, ending her time in Orlando without having played in a game with the club.[34] She went unselected off the wire and subsequently became a free agent.[35]
Klepp
Following her departure from Orlando, Berryhill moved to Norway and signed with Toppserien club Klepp IL on January 5, 2018.[36] Upon her signing, Klepp manager Olli Harder tipped Berryhill to play a "central role in the team", and she went on to appear in every one of the club's matches, featuring 26 times between the league and the Norwegian Women's Cup.[1][37] Berryhill debuted for the club on March 24, playing the full 90 minutes in a season-opening 2–1 defeat against Arna-Bjørnar.[38] She helped Klepp to a second-place finish in the Toppserien, buoyed by a 12-match unbeaten streak to finish the season, as well as a run to the semifinals of the cup. However, in the cup semifinal against Sandviken, Berryhill missed her attempt in the penalty shoot-out as Klepp were eliminated 3–1 on penalties.[39] She departed the club at the end of the year following the expiration of her contract.[40]
Washington Spirit
Returning to the United States, Berryhill went on trial with NWSL club
Retirement
Ahead of the 2020 season, Berryhill went on trial in Sweden with defending Damallsvenskan champions FC Rosengård.[46] She played in a pair of preseason games, with the club's sporting director Therese Sjögran saying that Berryhill was "confident with the ball and dared to play forward."[47] However, she did not sign a contract and departed Rosengård at the end of preseason.[48]
On July 19, 2020, Berryhill announced her retirement from professional soccer. In a statement posted on her Instagram account, she said "I'm grateful for the time I have had. But, at the end of the day I've decided to go out in the world and go after another dream I've had. I'll still play for fun because I don't think I could ever completely walk away...".[49]
Futsal career
Outside of her soccer career, Berryhill also played futsal, an indoor variant of the sport. She was a member of the United States women's national futsal team squad for the 2017 AMF Futsal Women's World Cup, alongside former Portland teammate Maureen Fitzgerald.[50] Berryhill helped the U.S. to a seventh place finish in the tournament, culminating in a 7–1 victory over Switzerland in the seventh place match.[51]
Personal life
Berryhill graduated from Arizona State with a Bachelor of Science in communication.[52] She is engaged to fellow soccer player Chloe Logarzo, who she met while they were teammates with Washington Spirit.[53][54] Berryhill is the second of three children: her younger sister, Davis, is a cheerleader for the Arizona Cardinals, and her older sister, Devin, works as a golf professional at Phoenix Country Club.[55]
