She also finished fourth in stroke average, with Quinnipiac's best record, for three consecutive years (2015-17). She also received All-MAAC Honors in 2016 and 2017.

Other special marks she set were her 42 birdies in the 2015-16 season, which is the second-best record for a freshman in program history. That number is also the second most for a season by any Quinnipiac golfer, male or female.
