College career

Pritchard enrolled at Ohio State University in January 2022. She entered her freshman season competing with graduate transfer Kat Robinson and junior Haley Roberts for the starting goalkeeper position. After beginning the season as Robinson's backup, Pritchard earned the starting role late in the season, appearing in 19 matches with seven starts as Ohio State recorded nine clean sheets. She was named to the Big Ten Conference All-Freshman Team. Ohio State advanced to the second round of the 2022 NCAA Division I women's soccer tournament. She started all 23 matches that season, recording four solo shutouts and three shared shutouts as Ohio State reached the round of 16 of the NCAA tournament for the fifth time in program history.

Serving as one of three team captains in 2025, Pritchard enjoyed the best season of her collegiate career. She started 21 matches, recorded ten solo shutouts and one shared shutout, and posted a career-best 0.63 goals-against average. During the season, she set an Ohio State record with seven consecutive shutouts. She also recorded two clean sheets in the NCAA tournament, including a 1–0 upset of top-seeded Notre Dame, as the Buckeyes advanced to the quarterfinals before losing to eventual national champion Florida State. At the conclusion of the season, Pritchard was named Big Ten Goalkeeper of the Year, earned first-team All-Big Ten honors, and was selected to the fourth-team United Soccer Coaches All-America team. She joined a goalkeeping group that included Kailen Sheridan and Madison White.
