including an exhibition contest against NCAA
Division I member Gonzaga, the Warriors
won six of their next eight games heading
into the Christmas break.

that began at the end of December and
flowed into the New Year, senior Jessica
Steigleman (Eugene, Ore.) became of
Warriors’ all-time leading scorer in the
opening few minutes against Warner Pacific
on January 12 th . A jumper with 12 minutes
remaining in the opening half pushed
Steigleman past former Warrior Christy
Nordstrom (1993-97) and into the record
books.

for Corban, the Warriors teamed with Warner
Pacific to host the first-ever Think Pink

game record for assists with 14.
Steigleman paced Corban’s offense with a
pair of school records – 533 total points and
an average of 17.8 points per game, while

aided Steigleman’s scoring performance with
an average of 11.9 points per contest.
On the boards, Goette pulled down a
team-best 224 rebounds and averaged a

be named 1 st Team All-Conference, while
also earning NAIA All-American honorable
mention for the first time in her illustrious
career.
Williams continued to add to his school
record win total, as the nine-year leader of
the Warriors is now 157-138 overall.
