Ava Westlund

Westlund returns to Aurora for her second season with the club, and her first season with the first team.

Westlund first joined Aurora 2 during its inaugural season in 2024. She scored a team-best 13 goals, starting 10 of 12 appearances en route to earning UPSL W Midwest Division First Team honors.

Westlund helped Aurora 2 to an undefeated regular season in 2024 as they reached the UPSL W Midwest Championship final.

Collegiately, Westlund plays at NCAA Division I California Baptist University alongside her younger sister Anya. Westlund has logged 28 appearances while playing over 1,300 minutes in two seasons.

2024 served as Westlund’s breakout season in a Lancers shirt. Her 10 points ranked third among all Cal Baptist players, and she finished the campaign with three goals, tied for the 2nd most by a CBU player. Westlund’s four assists were also the 2nd most by a Lancer that season.

At the club level in Minnesota, Westlund helped NOSC Blast to a US Youth National Championship in 2023 as a high school senior.
