Career edit
Augustyniak Goffi played for the Atlanta Classics of the W-League from 1998 to 2000, before joining the Atlanta Beat at the team's inception. The Beat selected her in the 5th round of the 2000 WUSA Draft which was the 33rd overall pick. Her twin sister Julie Augustyniak also played for the Beat and they were involved in the first instance of two sets of twins that faced each other in a professional game when the Beat played against the Washington Freedom in 2002.[2] Augustyniak Goffi would later describe playing in the WUSA as "the best three years of [her] life".[3]
Augustyniak Goffi moved to 1. FFC Turbine Potsdam following the demise of the WUSA and made her Fußball-Bundesliga debut for the club on February 22, 2004, as a 70th-minute substitute against Hamburger SV. She went on to appear for the club 13 times with 10 starts but no goals. With the assistance of her twin sister, Julie Augustyniak, Turbine Potsdam went on to win both the 2003–2004 Fußball-Bundesliga championship and the 2003–04 Frauen DFB Pokal.
