She was named to the NSCAA All-Pacific Region first team and NSCAA Scholar All-America third team.[1] 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.[4] Bauer was named a MAC Hermann Trophy semifinalist and earned NSCAA All-America first team, NSCAA All-Pacific Region first team, and All-Pac-12 first team honors.[1] In November 2016, she was named the Pac-12 Women's Soccer Scholar-Athlete of the Year.[5] 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.[6]

Seattle Reign, 2017–

On January 12, 2017, Bauer was selected by Seattle Reign FC as the sixth overall selection in the 2017 NWSL College Draft.[6] 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."[6]
