By ANNE M. PETERSON Forward Mallory Pugh, who is leaving UCLA to pursue a professional career, has been acquired by the Washington Spirit of the National Women’s Soccer League. The 19-year-old Pugh recently became an allocated U.S. Soccer player. The federation allocates national team players throughout the league and pays their salaries, and the Spirit had the top spot in the distribution order. “Being part of a professional team will allow me to grow and develop as a player, and I look forward to helping the Spirit win championships,” Pugh said Saturday in a statement. Pugh enrolled at UCLA last winter and took part in spring games, but she never played in a regular-season game for the Bruins.
