Cornell University Athletics

At Cornell
After taking a two-year hiatus from field hockey, Jue joined the Big Red field hockey team prior to the 2008 season and immediately took over a starting role in-between the pipes. A two-sport athlete at Cornell, she spent much of the season ranked in the top-20 in the nation in both save percentage and goals-against average before finishing 24th overall with a .742 save percentage and 29th in the country with a 1.66 GAA. She posted an 11-4 record with three shutouts, including one in Ivy League action. She was named the Ivy League Rookie of the Week on Sept. 9 after helping the Big Red open the season with a 1-1 record. In her first collegiate start, she made 19 saves against No. 19 Albany before dropping a 1-0 decision to the Great Danes. The 19 saves were the most since Kaitlin Tierney stopped 20 shots vs. Princeton on Oct. 21, 2000, and were the third-highest number of saves in the nation during the 2008 season by a goalie in a single game. For her efforts, she was named first-team All-Ivy, as well as the team’s co-Defensive MVP following the season. 

At Little Flower Academy
Jue lettered in field hockey four times for Little Flower Academy and was a two-time team MVP, serving as captain in her junior and senior seasons. She led her team to a third place finish at the prestigious Bridgeman cup in 2005, the highest finish in school history. During her time at Little Flower, Jue also helped her team to three second-place finishes at the AA high school Provincial championships. Jue played for team British Columbia every year that she was eligible, except in 2006 when sidelined by an injury. In 2003, she played on team BC at the U18 Nationals and was named to the tournament all-star team after posting a shut out in en route to a gold medal victory over Saskatchewan.
