She was awarded the Dial Award for the national high-school scholar-athlete of the year in 1981. She was the first player, male or female, to be named an All-American by Parade magazine four times. Later, after completing her high school career, she joined the University of Southern California in Los Angeles, where she studied organic chemistry and quantum physics. In 1986, she was nominated for the James E. Sullivan Award, and in that same year, USC retired her #31 jersey, the first retired jersey of a basketball player, male or female, at USC. In 1993 she took the head coaching job at her alma mater, USC, after the university chose to fire coach Marianne Stanley.

She played for the USA National Team in the 1983 World Championships, held in Sao Paulo, Brazil. The team won six games but lost two against the Soviet Union. In 1984, the USA sent its National team to the 1984 William Jones Cup competition in Taipei, Taiwan, for pre-Olympic practice. The team easily beat each of the eight teams they played, winning by an average of just under 50 points per game. She led the team in scoring, averaging 15.1 points per game, led the team in rebounding with 4.4 per game, and led the team in steals with 27.
