Regarded as one of the most talented female athletes the College has produced, she led Gettysburg to its best women's basketball record ever - a 22-4 mark in 1983-84. She scored a career high 28 points against North Central in the NCAA Division III championships and set a tournament record 14 field goals. She was named one of the 15 best Division III college players in the country by the National Scouting Association.

She completed her career as an All-America, the conference's most valuable player, scored 844 points, grabbed 362 rebounds and had 77 assists and set school records for most field goal attempts in a game and most field goals made in a season.

She was a three-time all-conference first team volleyball player and was instrumental in leading Gettysburg to a berth in the EWIA championships.

Despite playing just two years, she left an indelible mark as a first baseman in softball. She recorded a career .315 batting average and set a school record 14 put outs in a single game.

Besides the prestigious Clair B. Noerr Award, she also received the Pennsylvania State Education Outstanding Senior Award.
