In my opinion, their three most challenging games so far this season were USC, Northwestern, and Towson.

USC - She scored the first two goals, and then scored to make is 5-2 and 6-4. All in the 1st half.
Northwestern - She scored to make it 2-0, 3-1, and 6-2. All in the first half.
Towson - She scored to make it 2-0 and 7-4.

This season, they haven't had a real nail biter game that came down to the last 5 minutes. Is it because they are so good? Is it because they have a weak schedule? Time will tell. I can't speak to her other seasons - I'm sure they were a combination of some key goals and a lot of stat padding. Not her fault. She can flat out finish. You can't deny that.
