STORYLINES

Championship past: The Tigers finished the 2013 season with a 17-5 record. The women’s season included a co-champion of the North Coast Athletic Conference regular season alongside the Denison University Big Red. For the second straight season, the women advanced to the NCAA tournament. This time it was Catholic University who ended DePauw’s season with a 1-0 overtime win.

Wall of Steele: The Tigers’ success was caused in large part by their defensive effort. Maggie Steele allowed less than one goal per game and compiled a save percentage of .697 and recorded 10 shutouts.
