The two-time national champs advanced to the NCAA Division II semifinals on Nov. 23 with a 1-0 win over the University of Wisconsin-Parkside. The goal was made by junior forward Becca Mays, with an assist by senior midfielder Jaimie Stephenson.

Almaraz was captain of Metro State's 2004 national championship team and an assistant coach for the 2006 national title squad.
