Ordóñez was born in Riverside, California, United States, to an Ecuadorian father and an American mother of Mexican descent.[4] She was the youngest of five children. While still a small child, the family moved to Frisco, Texas, a suburb of Dallas. She played soccer for the FC Dallas youth team from 2010 to 2019, winning the Elite Clubs National League U-16 championship in 2017.[5][6][7]
Ordóñez initially committed to play college soccer at Texas A&M University, but was urged instead to play at the University of Virginia by a friend, soccer player Taryn Torres. She finished high school a semester early and enrolled at Virginia in January 2019, barely 17 years old. During her Virginia career (2019–2021) she scored 45 goals, tied for third most all time at the university, although she only played three years of her four-year eligibility. In 2021 she was a first-team All-American and a semifinalist for the MAC Hermann Trophy.[6]
Following the 2022 season, on January 12, 2023, Ordóñez was traded to the Houston Dash along with a third-round 2023 NWSL Draft pick for a first-round pick and $100,000 in allocation funds.[12]
Ordóñez was selected to represent Mexico at the 2023 Pan American Games held in Santiago, Chile, where the Mexican squad went undefeated to win the gold medal for the first time in their history at the Pan American Games, defeating Chile 1–0.[14][15]
