As a goalkeeper for the Moorhead Spuds, Soukup backstopped the team as a four-year letterwinning starter. In her four seasons, the team held a record of 42-21-0, including a 10-win undefeated showing this past fall that ran into mid-October before the Spuds were blanked, 1-0, en route to the state tournament. Soukup finished the season with 25 career shutouts, breaking the previous record of 16. As a sophomore, Soukup got her start with eight games played, 57 saves and a 2.23 GAA. Her sophomore year featured a single-game record showing against STMA where she stopped 28 shots. In 14 games, Soukup had 97 saves and a 0.83 GAA. She was awarded the MVP of that season and again her junior year when she eclipsed the school shutout record. In 18 games, she had 89 saves while boasting an 0.27 GAA. She was named to all-conference team in club soccer with the Dakota Fusion in 2019 and again as a senior in  her high school season this past fall.
