Club career
Strawn began training with the Dallas Trinity at age 17 before the launch of the USL Super League in August 2024. She soon officially signed as an academy player (allowing her to retain college eligibility) while staying active with her youth club Solar SC. She made her first appearance for the Trinity in their exhibition debut at the Cotton Bowl against Barcelona. On September 25, she made her Super League debut as a halftime substitute for Gracie Brian in a 2–0 loss to Brooklyn FC.

She finished her debut season with 4 goals in 19 games, ranking third in scoring for the Trinity behind Chioma Ubogagu and Allie Thornton. Youth international duty kept her out of their playoff game against the Tampa Bay Sun.

On May 16, 2026, Strawn scored twice in a playoff-clinching 4–0 win over Fort Lauderdale United on the final day of the season. She finished her second season as the Trinity's leading scorer with 5 goals in 25 games. In the playoff semifinals, Dallas lost 2–0 to eventual champions Lexington SC.
