She led the team to the No.3-ranking in the nation in just three season, earning herself the Region XI Coach of the Year honor. She had consecutive seasons of 20 or more wins, which was made possible by recruiting and coaching the school's first Junior College All-American. In her three season she made it to the conference championship all three times, winning it once. She had five Academic All-Americans and a pair of conference Player of the Year selections in her time.
Following her time at Newman she returned to her alma mater to coach under her mentor for a season. She was the main recruiting coordinator for Missouri Southern, as well as assisting for legendary coach Maryann Mitts.
