The Blugolds recorded two victories last week to push their winning streak to four games. Hosting UW-Oshkosh on Sept. 29, LeGate scored the game's first goal and picked up an assist on what proved to be the game-winning goal in a 4-2 victory to hand the Titans their first loss of the season. UW-Oshkosh entered the game ranked No. 15 in the NSCAA national poll and No. 1 in the North Region. In a 5-1 win over Luther College (Iowa) on Sept. 26, she finished with two shots, including one on goal.

This is the third week in a row a Blugold has earned the offensive player of the week award in the conference.
