She helped the Breakers win the regular season title with the game-winning goal over Western New York Flash. Of the goal, she said, "I saw Shep (Katie Schoepfer) play the ball short to Bianca (D'Agostino), and Bianca played it back to Shep, and she hit in a really nice ball. The keeper got a hand on it, but then it hit another girl's chest, and it was bobbling around, and I just hit it in. It feels great, especially since it helped get us the (regular season) title. I'm very excited. There's a good energy amongst the team, and we're feeling good going into playoffs."
