Costa Mesa, California-based Muñoz began her college career in 2012, being a defender and forward for the Golden West Rustlers.[4] As a freshman, she played 14 matches, scored 2 goals and made 1 assist.[4] Next season, as a sophomore, she transitioned definitely into a forward and improved her performance, playing 21 matches, scoring 10 goals and making 6 assists.[6]
In 2014, Muñoz moved to the Martin Methodist RedHawks, where she began to play as a midfielder (besides forward).[3] Like her stint at Golden West College, her second year at Martin Methodist was better than the first. While as a junior she scored 4 goals and made two assists in 21 matches, as a senior she scored 21 goals (being the team top goalscorer) and made 8 assists in 20 matches.[3] She finished her college career as a player in late 2015, but continued in the RedHawks as a volunteer assistant during the 2016 season.[7]
Muñoz played for United Women's Soccer team FC Indiana in 2017.[8] She signed with Puerto Rico Sol in July 2018.[5] There, she was reassigned as a defender.
