In total, she scored 36 goals and recorded 22 assists in 44 appearances.[4][5] In 1984 she was selected as an NSCAA Second-Team All-American. She also holds the school's record for number of consecutive matches with a point (goal or assist), with a 23-game streak during her career.[6] In 1987, she was included in the South soccer team at the U.S. Olympic Festival.[7]

She also coached the boys' middle school team at Durham, as well as the Chapel Hill-Durham Strikers club team. She later became the head coach of the boys' soccer team at The Blake School in Minneapolis, where she also served as the assistant athletic director.
