During her tenure as a student-athlete at Rutgers, Adams helped the Scarlet Knights to a national championship game in 2007, the Elite Eight in 2005 and 2008 and the Sweet 16 in 2006. A native of Ogden, Utah, she received Rutgers' Most Inspirational Player award from 2005-07 as well as the Women's Sports Foundation's Wilma Rudolf Courage Award and the College Council Leadership Award in 2007. A year later, she added the team's Coaches' Award and Scholar-Athlete honor to her resume while serving as a captain. Adams later went on to play semi professional basketball with the New Jersey Thunder (2007-08) and New Jersey Fusion (2008-09).
