In the playoffs, she started both the quarterfinal and semifinal matches en route to the championship game.

At UVU, Stainbrook led the Wolverines to two WAC regular-season championships, one WAC Tournament title, and two NCAA Tournament appearances. She played a pivotal role in the program's first NCAA Tournament victory, a first-round win over No. 25 Memphis in 2020. Stainbrook was a three-time First Team All-WAC selection, UVU's first-ever First Team All-Region honoree (2022), and a three-time All-Region selection. Academically, she became UVU's first women's soccer player to earn Academic All-America® honors and was a two-time United Soccer Coaches Scholar All-America selection.
