As a senior, she stole 33 bases, which broke her own program record of 24 set in 1996 and equaled in 1997. She held the program record until 2012 and still ranks second. She was named to the National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) Northeast Region Second Team as a sophomore in 1996 and to the First Team in 1998. She was tabbed to the Atlantic-10 All-Conference Team, All-New England Team and an ECAC All-Star in 1995 and 1998.
