On September 28, 2017, she won the Icelandic championship with Þór/KA after defeating FH, in the last game of the season, 2–0 with goals from Sandra Jessen and herself. She scored 19 goals in the 2017 season, becoming the second foreign player to win the league's golden boot, and was also named the league's player of the year.

Personal life
In June 2016, fellow Mexico women's national teammate Bianca Sierra announced publicly that she had a relationship with Mayor. Mayor and Sierra are believed to be the first openly gay athletes in Mexican history. Previously, in 2015, Mexican coach, Leonardo Cuellar, had warned Mayor and Sierra to avoid any "stunts" or "holding hands". In 2016, Mayor was not selected by Cuellar to play for the Mexico national team and Sierra declined to play on the national team. Mayor departed Mexico to play in Iceland. Sierra later joined her in Iceland.

Mayor rejoined the Mexico national team, under new coach Roberto Medina, for a friendly match against Venezuela on June 10, 2017. Sierra rejoined the national team shortly thereafter.
