Early life
Lageyre grew up in Cooper City, Florida, the daughter of Juan and Mercedes Lageyre, and has two sisters.[2] She began playing soccer at age three.[3] She started out with Cooper City Optimist and Davie United SC before moving to Development Academy club Weston FC.[3] She committed to play college soccer for Duke during her freshman year at Cooper City High School.[4] TopDrawerSoccer ranked her as the 4th-best prospect nationally in the 2022 class.[2]
College career
Lageyre played in 7 games, starting 1, for the Duke Blue Devils as a freshman in 2022,[2] being limited by a hamstring injury she picked up at the 2022 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup.[5] She started 15 games and scored 2 goals with 4 assists as a sophomore in 2023,[2] but saw the team miss the NCAA tournament.[6] She started 21 games in her junior year in 2024, scoring 2 goals with 6 assists, as the Blue Devils won the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) regular-season title.[2] Duke earned a one seed in the NCAA tournament and reached the semifinals, losing to North Carolina.[2] She started 22 games and scored 2 goals with 2 assists in her senior year in 2025, earning third-team All-ACC honors.[2] She again helped the team to the NCAA tournament semifinals, losing to Stanford.[2] Her teammate Kat Rader said Lageyre "doesn't always get the recognition she deserves, but she is probably the most consistent player on our team".[6]
Club career
Angel City FC announced on January 7, 2026, that they had signed Lageyre to her first professional contract on a three-year deal.[7] She made her professional debut as a late substitute for Maiara Niehues in a season-opening 4–0 victory over the Chicago Stars on March 15.[8]
International career
Lageyre began training with the United States under-15 team in 2017.[9] In 2019, she helped the under-17 team win the UEFA Development Tournament in the Czech Republic.[10] After winning the 2022 Sud Ladies Cup with the under-20 team,[11] she made the roster for the 2022 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup in Costa Rica, playing in two games as the United States was eliminated in the group stage.[12]
