Utah Valley Wolverines
Stainbrook was a five-year starter for the Utah Valley Wolverines from 2019 to 2023.

She won two further regular-season conference titles with the team and appeared in one further NCAA tournament.[1][2] Stainbrook received first-team All-WAC recognition three times and was named the WAC offensive player of the year when she scored a career-high 13 goals in 2022. After five seasons, Stainbrook left Utah Valley as its all-time top scorer with 40 goals in 102 games.[1][3]
