Early life and college career

Steigleder was raised in Iowa City, Iowa, the daughter of Paul and Lisa Steigleder. [2] Her mother named her after Regan MacNeil, the fictional character possessed by a demon in the horror film The Exorcist . [3] She began playing soccer when she was three and joined the Iowa Soccer Club in kindergarten. [3] She began playing travel soccer in middle school with a club based in Phoenix, Arizona, before playing two years with the Michigan Hawks. [3] She played almost anywhere on the field for the Hawks and won the ECNL under-17 national championship in 2016. [2] [3]

She captained her high school soccer team at Iowa City West, where she scored 93 goals in four years. [2] [4] She led her team to the state 3A championship as a junior in 2015, providing an assist and then scoring the winning goal in a 2–1 victory. [5] She reached the state semifinals and was named the Gatorade Iowa Player of the Year as a senior in 2016. [4] She also played one season of high school basketball as a freshman point guard. [2] She initially committed to Vanderbilt, but after its head coach resigned, she switched to Northwestern over offers from Iowa, Nebraska, TCU, and Clemson. [3]

Northwestern Wildcats

Steigleder was a five-year starting midfielder for the Northwestern Wildcats, scoring 12 goals in 86 appearances. In her first season in 2017, she helped her team place second in the Big Ten Conference and make it to the final of the conference tournament, earning Big Ten all-freshman honors. [6] She left the game injured against Purdue as a sophomore in 2018 and missed the rest of the season. [2] [7] She played the most minutes on the team as a junior in 2019 and was named to the All-Big Ten third team. [8] She scored four goals in the pandemic-shortened 2020 season, including the only goal in a win over Purdue in the first round of the Big Ten tournament. [2] She was granted a fifth year of eligibility due to the pandemic and became one of the team's captains in her graduate year in 2021. She led the team in field minutes played and tied her career high with four goals. [2] [9]

Club career

KIF Örebro

Steigleder trained with the Chicago Red Stars as a non-roster player in the 2022 preseason and appeared in a preseason friendly against the United States national under-23 team. [10] [11] She then signed her first professional contract with Swedish club KIF Örebro DFF on April 8, 2022, for the rest of the year. [12] She entered the usual starting lineup following the departure of Anna Sandberg to Häcken and was converted from an attacking midfielder to an offensive-minded left back. [13] She finished the 2022 Damallsvenskan season with 13 starts in 24 appearances, with KIF Örebro ninth of fourteen teams. [14] On November 3, her contract was extended for an additional year. [13] She started all 25 games in which she played in the 2023 season. [14]

Kansas City Current

Steigleder re-signed with KIF Örebro for another year on December 22, 2023, and was considered a possible captain for the coming season. [15] [16] However, she was instead traded to the NWSL team Kansas City Current for a transfer fee on January 30, 2024, signing a one-year contract with a one-year option, which was exercised. [17] [18] She made her NWSL debut on March 30, coming on for Bia Zaneratto late in a 4–2 win against Angel City FC. She was used rarely during the season, making only 7 appearances (2 starts) in all competitions as the Current finished fourth in the standings. [14] [19]
