The Lopers won an even 100 games during this period as well as three RMAC regular season and two RMAC tourney titles. Making the NCAA Tournament each season, UNK was a mainstay of the national polls in this era including a program high of No. 2 in 2000-01.
An all-around force on the court, Steffen reached 1,000 points and nearly 300 assists, set a new career rebounding record (906) while also ranking in the all-time top 10 in blocks (90), steals (243), and double doubles (23). Next, the West Point native set a new school-mark for three-point percentage in a game (7 for 7) and tied the single game rebounding record (18). Finally, she was a three-time All-RMAC pick who made the RMAC All-Tournament team twice.
Steffen resides in Omaha with Beth Peitzmeier and they have four children; Jaden, Landrie, Emery and Maverick. She currently is a nurse practitioner in the pediatric intensive care unit at Boys Town National Research Hospital.
