In her four years on the varsity, she twice served as a team captain, helped BW compile a 105-12 record, win three OAC regular season championships (1999, 2000 and 2001), capture three OAC Tournament titles (1999, 2000 and 2001), advance to four straight OAC Tournament championship games. Kim helped the Jackets make consecutive NCAA Division III National Tournament appearances, including an “Elite Eight” run as a senior.

Individually, Kim scored 1,002 career points and still ranks 13th all-time at BW. She also had 416 rebounds, 180 assists, 117 three-pointers and 99 steals. She also was named as a second-team All-OAC and as an honorable mention Academic All-OAC player as a senior (2001).  As a sophomore in 1999 and as a junior in 2000, Kim was as an honorable mention All-OAC selection. She also was named to the 1998 Marcia French Invitational all-tournament team and the OAC All-Tournament team in 2000. In 2001, she was named as the OAC Player of the Week (for the Week of January 22).
