As a member of the DC Women’s Soccer team, she was named OCAA League all-star in 1993-94 and was instrumental in leading the program to their first ever Provincial Medal (Silver), only a year after soccer became a full varsity sport here. In addition, she helped the Lords win a Bronze medal the following year. Tammy was Rookie of the year in 1992-93; an OCAA Scoring Champion in 1993-94; OCAA Central Division Scoring Champion twice (1992-93 & 1993-94); and named an OCAA Championship All-Star in 1993-94.

Her stellar 2 year collegiate career saw her score a career total 19 goals (which ranks 15th All-time in OCAA History) She capped things off by being named a CCAA All-Canadian in 1993-94 (first ever DC Women’s Soccer player to receive this honour). She is considered one of the best if not THE best women’s soccer players in DC history.
