Her three goals, including 15 totals shots (six on goal) during the week spearheaded the offense and helped keep OPSU unbeaten at home this season.

Johnson had previously been battling injuries, but there were zero injuries to be seen this weekend as he was shooting gaps with explosiveness, featuring a 31-yard run up the seams to give the Aggies a huge momentum boost that would later translate into a score.
