The Duesseldorf, Germany native still led the Eagles in scoring with nine goals and two assists for 20 points after being moved from forward to defense at the start of the season. At the conclusion of the season, she was an All-BIG EAST first team selection. The junior was a 1998 All-Rookie team selection. She was the team's hitter on offensive corners this season.

A native of New Milford, Conn., she scored her first career goal in the opening game of the season to give the Eagles a 1-0 win over St. Joseph's, then later in the season, scored the game-winner in overtime against Stanford. She was the team's flyer on defensive corners and the pusher on offensive chances.
