Early life

Uveges grew up in Bartlett, Illinois and was a two-sport athlete in soccer and basketball at South Elgin High School. She set several school records including most goals in a season (23) and most goals in a game (5). She was an all-conference, all-area and all-sectional selection. [2]

Nebraska Cornhuskers

Uveges played college soccer for the Nebraska Cornhuskers between 2014 and 2019. After suffering two ACL tears while in high school, Uveges suffered another two in college, keeping her sidelined and unable to make an appearance in her first three seasons with the team. [3] As a junior Uveges made 17 appearances, scoring her first career goal on August 25, 2017, in a 3–0 win over South Dakota Coyotes. [2] As a senior, Uveges started in all 21 games during the 2018 season and received third-team All-Big Ten honors. [4] Injury sidelined Uveges for much of 2019, limiting her to six appearances.
