Mines posted 19 total victories and 14 conference wins during the 2008-09 season with both of those marks setting program records. 

Prior to her arrival at Mines, Simpson was a graduate assistant at UC-Colorado Springs during the 2006-07 season.

She was named Honorable Mention All-RMAC as a senior in 2006 and led all Division II women's basketball players in 3-point percentage as a junior in 2005. She spent her junior and senior seasons as a team captain.
