During her first two seasons with the Rams, Parks had a limited role and suffered a foot injury in December of her sophomore year that limited her playing ability.[1] During her junior season, Parks made a huge jump statistically under new head coach Marlene Stollings. She led the A-10 in scoring and was in the Top 10 for rebounding.[2] During her season season, Parks continued to be dominate for the Rams. She caused matchup problems for the A-10 teams she faced, and credited her ability to do so to Candace Parker, Seimone Augustus, and Kevin Durant - all 3 players she admired and modeled her game after.[3] Parks was named to the A-10 Second Team for her junior year.[4] In the 2013–14 season, Parks was named to the A-10 First Team.[5]
