It began with a 1-1 draw against No. 4 UCLA, where the junior forward used her pace to burst past the Bruins' backline and then smashed her attempt past the keeper. Then followed a clash with USC, and with the group desperate for their first Big Ten win, the North Carolina native delivered her best performance of the year with two goals and an assist in a 4-0 victory.
