Mallory Diane "Mal" Pugh (born April 29, 1998) is an American soccer player who currently plays for the Washington Spirit of the National Women's Soccer League United States women's national soccer team.
Pugh has represented the United States at two FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup tournaments. She was the youngest member of the team at the 2014 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup in Canada. She was also a member of the U-20 team that helped the United States qualify for the 2016 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup and captained the team at the 2016 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup in Papua New Guinea. After playing extensively with the U–17 and U–20 teams, Pugh first appeared for the United States senior national team on January 23, 2016 in an international friendly against Ireland. At 17, she was the youngest player to debut for the national team since Heather O'Reilly's debut in 2002. Pugh scored in the 83rd minute in her first appearance, becoming the 19th United States player to score in her debut. Shortly after her debut, Pugh was one of the 18 players chosen to represent the United States at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. It was there that Pugh scored her first Olympic goal against Colombia, giving the United States a 2-1 lead. Her goal also made her the youngest player to ever score a goal for the United States in an Olympic game.
On April 17, 2017, Pugh made the announcement that she would forego her college career with UCLA and turn professional.
In 2015, she received the U.S. Soccer Young Female Player of the Year and Gatorade National Girls Soccer Player of the Year awards. In January 2016, she became the youngest female player to be selected and play for the U.S. national team during an Olympic qualifying tournament.[2]
Early life
Born in Highlands Ranch, Colorado to Karen and Horace Pugh, Mallory was raised with her older sister Brianna. Her mother was a long-distance runner and her father ran track and played football.[3] Growing up, Pugh considered her older sister Brianna as a role model and cites her as a reason she got started in soccer.[4] She started playing soccer at the age of four and then followed in her sister's footsteps and played club soccer with Real Colorado in the Elite Clubs National League.[4][5] She played on the competitive team with the club at the U-11 through U-18 levels; although she started playing recreational soccer at the U-5 level.[6] During her last two years with the team, she often trained with the club's Boys Development Academy team.[5] Pugh helped Real Colorado win state titles in 2010 and 2011. In addition, the team made it to the Elite Clubs National League finals in both 2013 and 2014.[6] At the U-16 level, Real Colorado won state and regional titles and became runner-up at nationals. Pugh was named the MVP of the regional tournament that year.[6]
As her parents, we know how she is. She's not hard on herself; she's just always looking to get better. We go to the games now and we’re excited. Like, ‘What is she going to do?’ That's the fun part of it: What is she going to do?
Horace Pugh, father[7]
Pugh attended Mountain Vista High School in Highlands Ranch from 2012 to 2016. In her three seasons with the team, Pugh scored 47 goals and recorded 23 assists. As a freshman, Pugh was named to the All-Colorado Team after leading her team to a state title. She was named offensive MVP at Mountain Vista and a NSCAA Youth All-American for 2013. During her sophomore year, despite missing more than half of her high school games due to national team commitments, she helped the team to the state semifinals. As a junior, Pugh scored 24 goals and 12 assists in 18 games and helped the team reach the state semifinals. She was subsequently named the 2014–15 Gatorade National Girls Soccer Player of the Year and Colorado Sports Hall of Fame 2015 High School Female Athlete of the Year. In addition, she was named NSCAA Youth Girls National Player of the Year for 2014 and 2015.[6]
In January 2016, it was reported that Pugh had rejected college in order to turn professional and play for National Women's Soccer League club Portland Thorns when she finished high school.[8] Later that week, her father said the reports were false and that Pugh would join the UCLA soccer team as originally planned.[9] In July 2016, it was announced she delayed entrance to UCLA until January 2017, due to national team commitments for the Rio Olympics and the 2016 FIFA U–20 Women's World Cup.[10] She appeared in three non-competitive Spring scrimmages in early 2017 before departing UCLA to pursue a professional career prior to starting her freshman season.[11]
