The first came in a virtuoso performance as a substitute, scoring the first and third goals in a convincing 3-0 defeat of Utah Valley. And rewarded with her first start of the season versus LSU, the California native delivered once again with the opening goal, then the 83rd-minute game-winner in a thrilling 4-3 victory. It has been a magnificent return to play for a redshirt junior who missed all of last season with injury.
