  • Goalie Kylie Smith pulled off a feat rarely seen in soccer, pitching a complete game shutout between the pipes while also firing off a laser beam penalty kick goal as she feasibly could have won the contest by her lonesome.
  • Elyssa Guy was the final student-athlete to make a mark on the CSM scoreboard, placing the fifth score of the afternoon onto the stat sheet.
  • Kiera Salazar registered her second multi-assist showing of 2025, feeding the ball to Jones on both of her missiles.
