She additionally ranks in Texas A&M's career top-10 for 10+ point games (68), free-throw percentage (72.8) and 3-pointers made (110)

While on campus, Atunrase racked up conference recognition, earning 2008 Big 12 Sixth Man of the Year, 2005 Big 12 Freshman of the Year, and was a two-time All-Big 12 selection.
