In four seasons with the Lady Miner program, Hough set the bar for future players as she ended her playing career atop the school’s scoring and rebounding lists.  She scored 1,388 points and pulled down 913 rebounds in helping UMR establish itself as a top team in the MIAA in the late 1980s.  She set another school record with 18 consecutive field goals made and finished her career ranked second for made field goals.  Hough was UMR’s top rebounder in all four seasons and earned first-team All-MIAA laurels after the 1986-87 and 1988-89 seasons; she was the program’s first player to be named first-team All-MIAA.
