She received NSCAA All-West Region first-team honors, was named to Top Drawer Soccer's Freshman Best XI first team, the All-Pac-12-second team and was a Pac-12 All-Freshman selection.[2] During her sophomore season, she led a defense that conceded eight goals during the regular season starting in all 24 games.[2] Bauer was earned All-Pac-12-second team honors for the second consecutive season and was named a Pac-12 All-Academic honorable mention.[2] During her junior season, she started in 23 of 24 games and was again named to the All-Pac-12-second team for the third consecutive year. She was named to the NSCAA All-Pacific Region first team and NSCAA Scholar All-America third team.[2] As a senior, she started all 21 games and scored her first goal for the Cardinal – a game-winner – during a 3–2 double-overtime win against UCLA.[5] Bauer was named a MAC Hermann Trophy semi-finalist and earned NSCAA All-America first team, NSCAA All-Pacific Region first team, and All-Pac-12 first team honors.[2] In November 2016, she was named the Pac-12 Women's Soccer Scholar-Athlete of the Year.[6] During her collegiate career, she helped lead the Cardinal to four consecutive NCAA Division 1 Tournament appearances, including the College Cup final four in 2014.[7]

Club career

Seattle Reign FC, 2017–2018

On January 12, 2017, Bauer was selected by Seattle Reign FC as the sixth overall selection in the 2017 NWSL College Draft.[7] Of her selection, Reign head coach Laura Harvey said, "Maddie has been someone we have looked at all season... I think she can help us on the back line and in the midfield. The college that she played at plays a similar style of soccer to us, so it's been easy for me to see the things she's good at and areas for improvement."[7]

On July 16, 2018 Bauer was waived by the Reign.[8]

Djurgården, 2018–2019
