USC started the year but has won each of its last three games, including a pair of home wins last weekend over then-no. 21 Auburn (1-0) in overtime and a 3-1 decision over Northern Arizona.

In 2009, she recorded two such streaks, each featuring five goals, and became the second Sooner in program history to score in four straight games (Lauren MacIver scored in four straight in 2005). Palmer started her career with four goals in three games played in 2007 and also had a three-game streak in Newcomers Making their Mark Nine newcomers (eight true freshmen) have logged minutes out of the 23 players to see the field in 2010, including seven starters.
