Kauffung scored the goal and was assisted by a pass from Holbert just before halftime against Miami (OH) Aug. 26 and tied the game at 1-1. Holbert fended off a pair of RedHawk defenders at the sideline, then sent a pass into Kauffung in the penalty area. Kauffung settled the ball and slotted a pass off the far post and into the goal.

Steinhauser's first goal was a free kick score, also from the Miami game, while her second was a double-overtime strike against Loyola in the regular season. Holbert assisted on that goal, as well.
