Her university game period was not up to par as she sustained three injuries and stayed out of the field most of the time. Her injuries stopped her from appearing not only on her home ground but also could not appear in any of the U-21 games representing her country. 2006 and 2007 seasons, she was on the bench with injuries in her thumb and tearing up of her right anterior cruciate ligament (ACL).

She again tore her left ACL and only managed to enter as a substitute in football games and played throughout all NCAA tournament matches. She was named on the 2006 and 2007 ACC Academic Honor Roll. Unfortunately, she had the labrum in her right hip torn in 2007.

2008 was the first season at UNC where she was perfectly healthy to play for games. UNC went on to win the 2009 NCAA women's Soccer Tournament against Stanford in the Championship game.
