[12] Starting in the Six's first game, a January 23, 2021 affair versus the Metropolitan Riveters, Chuli was recognized as the Second Star of the Game in a 3–0 loss. [13] Against the eventual Isobel Cup champion Boston Pride, the Six enjoyed their first win. Opposing the Pride on January 26, 2021, Chuli recorded 24 saves in the win., [14] a 2–1 final with third period goals by Brooke Boquist and Mikyla Grant-Mentis, whose goal stood as the game-winner.
