To start the week, the Canadian midfielder scored an Olympico and had an assist in a 4-1 defeat of Bowling Green to close out the regular season. That strike proved to be a moment of foreshadowing. Tied 1-1 in overtime of a quarter-final MAC matchup, Stambolich scored her second olympico of the week to give the Golden Flashes a dramatic golden goal victory.
