Foley earned Atlantic-10 All-Rookie team honors as a freshman in 1983 and went on to help RU to the Atlantic-10 finals and NCAA regional finals as a junior in 1986. During the 1985-86 campaign, she earned Honorable Mention All-American status by Street & Smith and NCAA Tournament All-East Region honors. A captain both her junior and senior seasons, Foley won the Headley-Singer Award for Rutgers Most Outstanding Female Athlete in 1987 after helping to guide Knights to their first Atlantic-10 Championship and on to the NCAA regional finals.
