Scherian began her netball career in the Commonwealth Bank Trophy at the now-defunct AIS Canberra Darters in 2007, before being picked up by the Queensland Firebirds in 2010 in the ANZ Championship.[3] She was not re-signed by the Firebirds in 2011 which led her to be relegated to the second-tier Queensland Fusion team in the Australian Netball League, where she played at for the next six years as an amateur.[3] She would play only sporadically for the Firebirds in those years when required to replace an injured contracted player.[4] In 2017 she was signed as the last contracted player at the Sunshine Coast Lightning in the new Suncorp Super Netball league, the club she has played at ever since.[5] In her first match at the Lightning, Scherian was named the most valuable player as the side drew with the Firebirds in the opening match of the season.[4] She has signed with the Lightning through to the end of the season.[6]
