Career

society

During her studies at the University of California, Los Angeles , planned for 2016 , Pugh should have played for the UCLA Bruins college team there . In January 2016, however, several media outlets reported that she might start a professional career right after graduating from high school, similar to Lindsey Horan a few years earlier. That report was denied a few days later, and Pugh enrolled at UCLA. As a result, however, she skipped the 2016 college season to participate with the United States national team in the Summer Olympics . In April 2017, Pugh left the Bruins without completing a game and instead began her professional career with the Washington Spirit franchise . In 16 games for her team, she scored six goals as the team's top scorer. The team took only the last place in the final table . In 2018 the team was able to improve by one place. After suffering a knee injury in a game against the Houston Dash on May 28, she was out for two months and only made 15 games in which she scored two goals.

National team

With the U-17 national team of the United States, Pugh took part in the 2013 CONCACAF U-17 championship for women , finishing third there. However, the USA missed the 2014 U-17 Women's World Cup by losing to Mexico on penalties in the semi-final . She was the youngest player in the U-20 team at the 2014 U-20 Women's World Cup in Canada . In the second group game against Brazil, she had to be replaced in the 37th minute due to an injury, but was back in the starting line-up in the next game against China and in the quarter-finals against North Korea. The quarter-finals were lost on penalties , but she was substituted in the 83rd minute. In 2015 she won the CONCACAF women's U-20 championship with the US selection , where she was named top scorer as well as best player.

On January 23, 2016, Pugh made his debut in a friendly against Ireland in the US national team and scored 5-0 after being substituted for Alex Morgan . She was the youngest debutante in the past eleven years.

She was also on the roster for the 2016 Summer Olympics qualifier , which the United States won. She was used in all games, where she was in the starting eleven in the semifinals and final as well as against Puerto Rico in the last group game and was substituted in each case, while she was substituted on in the first two group games.

At the SheBelieves Cup 2016 she prepared the 1-0 winning goal by Alex Morgan in the first minute of stoppage time in the second game against France .

At the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro , she was used in two group games and the quarter-finals. In the group game against Colombia , she scored the goal for the interim 2-1 lead (final score 2-2). In total, she was used in 17 of the 25 international matches in 2016.

At the U-20 Women's World Cup in Papua New Guinea in December 2016, she was the captain of the US team that finished fourth.

In 2017 she played twelve games, due to a hamstring she was unable to play the last three games of the year and could not always be nominated in 2018 due to a knee injury. When recovered SheBelieves Cup in 2018 she stood three times in the starting lineup and scored the 1: 1 against France the first goal. It was used in four games at the CONCACAF Women's Gold Cup 2018 . The USA qualified for the 2019 World Cup by winning the Gold Cup. On May 1, 2019, it was nominated for the 2019 World Cup . She had previously been used in the seven internationals of the year, in which she could score three goals. At the World Cup it was used in the three group matches. In the first group game against Thailand she was substituted on in the 69th minute and scored the goal to 11: 0 15 minutes later (final score 13: 0). In the second group game against Chile , in which most of the regular players were not used, she played over 90 minutes and in the last group game against Sweden she was substituted on in the 83rd minute.
