The culmination of this on-court success has come in attention from potential employers. In fact, Mondrach already has landed a job, even though she will not graduate until next month.
Swigger Coil Systems in Rocky River tailored a position according to Mondrach's skills, talents, values and personality.
"I have been working there as an intern for over a year," Mondrach said. "A couple weeks ago they offered a job, telling me they didn't want to lose me. They didn't have any jobs open, but the qualities they saw in me enabled them to piece something together.
"The higher people in the company love athletes. They like our work ethic and ability to work with other people. They figured I could work with the HR (human resources) and accounting departments on certain projects, plus some of the things I've done as an intern, to make 40 hours a week.
"I just want to help make the company grow."
Mondrach was named to the Ohio Athletic Conference's All-Academic basketball team for the third time. The sports management and business administration major was also on the regular all-OAC basketball team for three years.
The Old Brooklyn native graduated from STM in 2001 after playing five years of volleyball and basketball and three years of softball.
"My parents wanted me to go to a Catholic school, so it was between STM and Our Lady of Good Counsel," Mondrach said. "I was baptized at OLGL, but my parents liked the atmosphere at St. Thomas More better. Plus, since I lived right by the zoo, it was only five minutes to STM.
"Now, when I look back, the thing I remember most is how I was taught the fundamentals," she continued. "We were always focusing on the fundamentals. I learned how important they are, which helped me on to success at Holy Name."
Don't forget STM's winning attitude. "My first game at STM was in fourth-grade and we won by about 35 points," Mondrach said. "It set the standard from there. Our team was so good that we wouldn't settle for anything less than winning.
"We were always one of the dominant teams at our grade level. We'd make it to at least the West Side championship game every year."
She also learned off-the-court values, emphasizing things such as "pride and respect for my school and community," Mondrach said. "That was able to carry on through high school and college.
"School spirit was big there. Even when we went to high school, we still had that pride in us."
Mondrach was so accelerated by the time she got to Holy Name that then-coach Judy Blair put her right on the varsity as a freshman.
"Throughout my years at STM, we would always play against teams of a higher bracket," Mondrach said. "For instance, when we were in sixth-grade, we would scrimmage the eighth-grade teams at other schools."
She did enter Holy Name with two STM teammates, Pam Campiri and Kelly Sullivan, but Mondrach made the varsity quickly, she didn't get to play with them as much as she in grade school. "Whenever we were together, we were like a rock," she said.
Mondrach did not consider college basketball until her senior year at Holy Name. "Once I started getting recruiting letters, I thought, I could really do this.' "
A few Division I schools, such as Kent State and Iowa did send letters, but interest came mostly from OAC schools, as well as Notre Dame College in South Euclid and the University of Charleston (W.Va.).
"I first thought BW was too close to home," Mondrach said, "but everyone was so welcoming when I came to visit that it went right to the top of my list.
"I'll never forget all the girls I met here. We are all like family, so much that I can call every one of them sisters.'
"Plus, I'll never forget my freshman year and how we made it to the NCAA (Division III) Elite Eight." Along the way, she earned national All-Freshman notoriety.
Her BW career ends with Mondrach having started all 118 games in which she dressed for the Yellow Jackets. If time permits, she still may work the summer "Yes I Can" basketball camps at Heidelberg College with Stan Kellner and Bill Immler.
