At William Henry Harrison High School, Bugay played for her school's women's soccer team and lettered in soccer for four times.

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]
