Her defenses were consistently among the stingiest in the Empire 8, as she helped to produce 17 shutouts in her career. She was also a longtime member of the track and field teams. She graduates as the AU record holder in both the indoor triple jump (10.87 meters) and the outdoor triple jump (10.91 meters) events.
