2007 - Reis started her first semester at UCF in August, 2007. However, she was unable to compete in the Fall of that year due to an ACL surgery that kept her out for four and half months, forcing the athlete to redshirt in order not to lose a year of eligibility. Aline was back on the pitch for the Spring of 2008 and prepared for the soccer season that would start in the coming Fall. From that moment on, she was the starting goalkeeper for all four seasons, appearing in 85 contests (83 starts) and earning 28 shutouts. Reis is the winningest goalkeeper in Knights history (48-19-12), and led UCF to back-to-back C-USA Championships in 2009 and 2010, and made the NCAA Tournament all four years of her career, including leading the Knights to the Elite Eight in 2011, knocking off North Carolina in the Sweet 16 on penalty kicks.
Reis was voted team MVP all four seasons and was C-USA Player of the Week seven times, which is a school record. She was inducted into UCF Athletics Hall of Fame in 2019. After an impressive career for the Knights, Reis was named UCF’s No. 1 player in the C-USA era and the No. 2 UCF Knights Female Athlete of All-Time, just behind the GOAT, Michelle Akers.

The significance of Aline Reis' career can be summed up in one perfect moment: Her diving save of midfielder Ranee Premji's final PK attempt for perennial powerhouse North Carolina in the 2011 NCAA Sweet 16.
The moment her hands snatched the ball, Reis ensured her team's berth to the Elite Eight for the first time since 1987.
It's arguably the shining moment of the highlight reel that was her tenure as a Knight".
