In 1975, her freshman season, she had 27 goals to set a University record. She had 12 goals against Beaver College for another Temple mark. She had numerous outstanding games during her career and had the hat trick in several important victories over teams like Pennsylvania, LaSalle, St. Joseph's and Eastern. She was also Boyertown High School's first female athletic scholarship winner and became the institution's field hockey MVP.
