Sarah Teubner isn't just rewriting the rookie playbook, she's setting it ablaze. In her very first season leading the Chicago Winds, Teubner has stunned the Women's National Football Conference (WNFC) with a record-breaking start, catapulting an expansion team to unprecedented heights.

With an astonishing 12 touchdowns, just one interception, over 4 games and boasting the league's highest quarterback rating, Teubner isn't merely turning heads, she's commanding attention. Under her guidance, the Winds have soared to a 3-1 record, the best-ever debut for any WNFC expansion franchise. Now, playoff dreams aren't just possible, they're expected.


Teubner's rise wasn't always set to the rhythm of touchdowns and spiral passes. Her athletic prowess was first showcased on the soccer field. A star midfielder at Grambling University, she was no stranger to high-pressure moments, earning four-time all-conference honors and player-of-the-year recognition three times.


Her collegiate career spanned not just soccer but basketball as well, highlighting her remarkable versatility and competitive spirit.


Yet, the Salem, Oregon native always sought bigger stages and tougher challenges. Transitioning from Division 1 soccer and basketball, Sarah quickly adapted her athletic skills to dominate both tackle and flag football. Initially cutting her teeth in the Women's Football Alliance (WFA), she made waves on a smaller market team before earning her shot in the WNFC spotlight.



Standing 5'7", Teubner plays with an intensity and precision that is much taller. Her journey from midfield maestro to football phenom is a testament to her resilience, adaptability, and sheer determination. Off the field, Sarah finds inspiration and motivation in her close-knit family, proudly the sister to five supportive siblings who cheer her on every game day.



Now ranked sixth nationally, the Chicago Winds, under Teubner’s masterful leadership, face their biggest challenge yet—a decisive showdown on March 17 against the fifth-ranked Kansas City Glory. This pivotal matchup will shape the playoff landscape, and Teubner will be front and center, ready to write the next chapter in her incredible story.
