Orlando Pride
Isenhour declared for the 2020 NWSL College Draft but was not selected.[5] Originally trialing with Orlando Pride during preseason prior to the schedule disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, she eventually signed a short-term contract with Orlando ahead of the 2020 NWSL Challenge Cup in July before the team was forced to withdraw.[6][7] In September, Isenhour was signed through the 2021 season and made her debut on October 9 during the Fall Series, playing the full 90 minutes in a 2–1 defeat to Houston Dash.[8][9] She made a total of five saves on her debut including one on Sophie Schmidt which was voted NWSL Save of the Week.[10]
Angel City FC
On December 17, 2021, Isenhour was traded along with a third-round pick in the 2023 NWSL Draft to new expansion franchise Angel City FC in exchange for a fourth-round pick in the 2023 NWSL Draft and an agreement regarding partial 2022 NWSL Expansion Draft protection.[11] The previous day, Angel City had left the Pride roster alone during the expansion draft, only claiming the playing rights of Claire Emslie from Orlando.[12] On January 4, 2024, Angel City announced Isenhour would not return to the club for the 2024 season.
