Career
UAAP
Soyud made her first game appearance with De La Salle Lady Spikers in the UAAP Season 78. Her team won the title after beating Ateneo in Game 3 of the best of three series.
In 2017, she transferred in Adamson University and played for the Adamson Lady Falcons. She didn't play for the Adamson Lady Falcons in the UAAP Season 79 because she had to serve a one-year residency imposed by the University Athletic Association of the Philippines for transferring from a UAAP school (La Salle) to another (Adamson).[2]
In 2018, she finally played for the Adamson Lady Falcons but they didn't enter the final four.
PVL
In 2018, Soyud played as an Outside hitter for the Sta. Lucia Lady Realtors in the PSL.
In 2019, she played as an Opposite Hitter for the Motolite Power Builders in the PVL. They finished 5th place on that season.[3]
In 2020, she played for the Generika-Ayala Lifesavers in the PSL. The tournament was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[4]
In 2021, she transferred in PLDT Home Fibr Power Hitters in the 2021 PVL Open Conference, where they finished 7th place on that season.[5]
In 2023, she was signed by the Akari Chargers. The press corps would later award Soyud Most Improved Player.[6][7]
