The Saints won their second of six consecutive conference championships that season.

In 1994, she earned Frontier First-Team honors and again to the Frontier Championship. She also shined in the classroom where she earned Academic All-Conference honors.

She remained in Helena where she works as a teacher and coach. She re-joined the Carroll coaching staff in 2016 and helped lead the Saints to a conference championship and a bye to the NAIA final site.
