Miner Notes: Senior defender Carli Tastad's two goals this season represents a career single-season best, surpassing her one goal apiece in the 2016 and 2017 campaigns.  Her four points (2-0=2) in 14 matches to date this season also marks a career season high ... The Miners are averaging 6.2 shots per match (93 total shots) in the second half this fall compared to 4.8 shots (72 total shots) in the opening 45 minutes of action ... Junior defender Chayse Richardson (Collinsville, Ill./Collinsville), who has nine career points (2-5=9) in 45 outings, picked up her fifth career assist in S&T's 2-1 setback to Indianapolis (Oct. 21) ... Senior midfielder Mikaela Mockenhaupt's squad-best 12 shots on goal in 15 matches also marks a career season high, eclipsing her eight shots on goal in 15 2016 season contests.
