Last season, Steinbruch tied the school’s season record with 16 goals. This year the Wyckoff, N.J. native started where she left off, scoring in the 10th minute. Lauren Singer picked up her first of two assists on the goal, as she took Jessica Wyble’s corner kick and fed a wide open Steinbruch, who finished with a powerful kick from the top of the 18-yard box

“Brittney (Steinbruch) has been looking to remain consistent by allowing her teammates to set her up more, coming into the season,” said head Coach Tricia Taliaferro.

Steinbruch scored her second goal only four minutes after the break. Freshman Danielle Bidegain picked up the assist, as she found the streaking Steinbruch down the left side. Steinbruch did the rest, attacking the keeper, before scoring just inside the near post.
 
The New Jersey native is a sophomore at UM, she played club ball for PDA.
