Colorado Rush

Heaps played for the Colorado Rush in the 2012 USL W-League season. She played three games for the team, scoring two goals and taking 19 shots. Her performance for the Rush against Seattle Sounders Women on June 1, 2012, in which Heaps scored a goal against Seattle and USWNT goalkeeper Hope Solo, impressed several national team players who also played for Seattle. After the match, Megan Rapinoe called Heaps "a hell of a player".

She was on the roster for the 2016 CONCACAF Women's Olympic Qualifying Championship and started the opening group stage match against Costa Rica in central midfield. While Heaps played successfully as a striker during her time at PSG (2012–16), with 46 goals in 56 appearances, she played in central midfield after her return to the national team in 2016. Heaps was called up for the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup, scoring her first World Cup goal in the opening game against Thailand on June 11. On January 31, 2020, she scored her first career hat-trick, against Panama in the 2020 CONCACAF…

Heaps was born May 26, 1994, and grew up in Golden, Colorado, near Denver. Although she attended Golden High School, she did not play soccer for the school. Instead, she played club soccer with the Colorado Rush. She first started playing for the Colorado Edge during the U-11 tryouts. In March, when Heaps was 15 years old and was one of the youngest players on the United States under-17 women's national team, she scored 12 goals in nine games (a team-best) leading up to the North American/Central American/Caribbean U-17 tournament in Costa Rica. During her sophomore year at Golden, she was named to the Parade Magazine High School All-American team although she didn't play high school soccer. In 2012, Heaps was named the top-ranked college prospect by ESPN. Although she had a scholarship to play for Tar Heels of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill starting in the 2012 season, Heaps bypassed her college career and signed with French club Paris Saint-Germain (PSG).

Heaps married soccer analyst Tyler Heaps on December 28, 2024. They met when he was working for U.S. Soccer; he is now the sporting director and general manager for San Diego FC of Major League Soccer. Heaps began using her married name in 2025 for international matches; however, she continued to use her maiden name with Lyon through the remainder of the 2024–25 campaign since the Première Ligue does not allow name changes mid-season. Heaps started using her married name ahead of the 2025–26 season.
