Her top statistical season was her senior year of 1993-94 when she averaged 14.5 points and 5.0 rebounds per game. For her career, Winterfeldt Svraka shot a dazzling 82.1 percent from the free throw line, with a high water mark of 84.7 percent as a junior in 1992-93 which led the Northeast Conference (NEC) and ranked 15th in the nation. She was named to the NEC All-Newcomers Team in 1990-91 en route to playing in 114 career games for the Green & White while gaining starting assignments in 82. A tremendously versatile all-around player, in addition to her 1,149 career points, Winterfeldt Svraka totaled 556 rebounds, 239 assists and 132 steals.
