2014-15 (Junior): Rang in her days as an upperclassman by seeing almost all of her statistical averages go up when compared to a season ago... played in all 26 games and was a member of the Cardinals' starting lineup for all but two of those bouts... no Plattsburgh State player bettered her in terms of total steals as she came up with 58 during her third season of collegiate basketball action... her average of 2.2 thefts per game placed her atop the SUNYAC leaderboards in that statistical category... ranked fourth on the team in both scoring (7.8 ppg) and rebounding (4.2 rpg)... landed in double-digit scoring territory in seven of the Cardinals' 26 tilts... achieved a new career best in scoring when she hung a game-high 23 points on The College at Brockport which led the Cardinals to a road SUNYAC win (1/24)... canned a career-best four three-pointers during that particular game as well.

2013-14 (Sophomore): Made a return to her home state and fulfilled an important role as the Cardinals' primary option off of the bench... wrapped up her first collegiate campaign in the state of New York with the fifth-best scoring average (6.4 ppg) and the third-most steals (35) on the team... was one of just seven Plattsburgh State players to take part in all 29 engagements throughout the season... hit the hardwood in a Plattsburgh State uniform for the first time during the Cardinals' season opener against Wesleyan and put up five points, three rebounds, two assists and two steals (11/16)... earned the first of her six promotions to the starting five in a Memorial Hall battle against St. Lawrence and responded by passing out a career-high five assists (11/19)... waited until 2014 came about to submit her best single-game scoring total - 17 points in a road triumph over SUNYAC rival Fredonia State (1/25)... reached double-digit territory in the rebounding department for the first time as a Cardinals by snaring 10 boards in a home win over Fredonia State (2/21)... proved to be one of the integral pieces of the Cardinals' SUNYAC Tournament Championship run as she helped the team stay afloat by pumping in 14 points on a career-best four three-pointers in a semifinal win over SUNY Cortland in Memorial Hall (2/28)... named to the SUNYAC All-Tournament Team after helping Plattsburgh State capture its first league tournament crown in program history.
