She posted two goals, including a game-winner over conference foe Murray State, and two assists for six points, which ranked fifth on the squad.

This Place Looks Familiar: SportsBackers Stadium is a comfortable place for McAulay since she spent most of her high school career as a member of the Richmond Kickers Youth Soccer Club Elite.

Order Number 57, You’re Up: McAulay not only dishes it out on the soccer field, she also dishes it out at Red Robin Gourmet Burger and Spirits during the off-season.

From North of the Border With Love: Although she spent the majority of her childhood in the Richmond area, McAulay was actually born in Winnipeg, Manitoba and then moved to Toronto for a brief time before settling in the Capital City.
