Early life and education

Ryley Bugay was born on 23 January 1996[1] in West Lafayette, Indiana, U.S. to Dave and Terri Bugay and has three siblings. She attended William Henry Harrison High School and entered to pursue a major degree in biomedical sciences.[2]

Career

High school

At William Henry Harrison High School, Bugay played for her school's women's soccer team and lettered in soccer for four times. In her sophomore season, she helped William Henry Harrison to the sectional championship and was named to the HCC All-Conference Team and the all-district second team. For her junior season, she was named high school MVP, received an all-state honorable mention, and was named into the all-district first team. She was the captain of the women's soccer team during her senior season.[2]

College

Bugay plays for the Marquette Golden Eagles women's soccer team[3] as a redshirt athlete. She started her collegiate career in 2015, a year after her first year in Marquette University as an academic freshman.[2] In the 2017 season, now a redshirt junior, Bugay played a team-high of 1,871 minutes and started in all 21 matches as a holding midfielder.[4] She is considered as a key player for Marquette and earned the nickname "Ry Boo Boo Glue" from her coach due to how she keeps the college team "together".[5]

Following her 2017 season with Marquette, Bugay was invited to participate in an initial identification camp organized by the Philippines women's national football team in November 2017.[3] She made into the final-23 player roster for the 2018 AFC Women's Asian Cup.[6][7] She plays as a defender for the national team.
