Under her watch the Knights have been consistently ranked in the nation's top 20 and have averaged more than 20 wins over the past nine seasons. Since Metcalf-Filzen, also a professor of physical education, athletics and recreation at Carleton, assumed the head coaching position, the program has winning percentage of .705 and posted four consecutive 20-win seasons from 2000-04.
