The team recorded six consecutive shutouts, and went 7-0-1 in their first eight games, making it the best start in school history. Anna mentored Acelya Aydogmus, the 2020 Southland Conference Goalkeeper of the Year, who was part of a defensive unit that only allowed six goals all season, finishing with an 0.43 goals against percentage.

Primarily in charge of the goalkeepers, Jobe guided a unit to allow just 1.24 goals per game, the program's best mark since 2009. Senior Kayla Bomben allowed just 0.99 goals per game and was named to the All-Louisiana first team. Acelya Aydogmus recorded six shutouts on the year, which is fifth in school history.
