CSUSM was one of only two unseeded teams to advance past the NAIA Opening Round. The Cougars have not fallen since dropping a 3-0 decision at No. 5 Concordia (Calif.) on Sept. 17 in Irvine. The streak of 13 unbeaten contests is the longest in program history. In addition, the Cougars have not surrendered a goal in their last seven contests.

On The Offensive
CSUSM hasn't scored since its A.I.I. semifinal match against Houston-Victoria, a span of over 230 minutes, but that hasn't stopped the Cougars from getting this far. Junior Paulina Good, the A.I.I.

Brianna Searl has dished out nine assists. 16 different players have scored this season for CSUSM.
