- Tied her season-high with seven shots during the Lady Vols' 1-0 win at Auburn (10/20/22).
- Played all 90 minutes of Tennessee's 2-0 victory at Georgia (10/9/22) and recorded her sixth assist of the season when she served up a beautiful cross to Jaida Thomas in the 78th minute.
- Notched the deciding goal of Tennessee's 2-0 triumph over Missouri (10/6/22), placing a header into the side net off a cross from Claudia Dipasupil in the 57th minute.
- Named to TopDrawerSoccer's National Team of the Week after playing 87 minutes and firing a game-high six shots during Tennessee's 1-0 win at 13th-ranked Ole Miss (9/30/22).
