The 2002 season proved to be a breakout year for the young defender, as she was named to the All-Tournament team at the 2002 NCAA Final Four. That season, she won the National Soccer Buzz Player of the Year Award, was selected to the 2002 First Team All-ACC Team and received her first of two consecutive Missouri Athletic Hermann Trophies.
