Driggs was a first team regional all-America selection in 1989 and 1990 and second team in 1988. A team tri-captain and team MVP in 1990, she helped lead the Tigers to the first NCAA appearance in program history and a 15-3-3 record. During her four seasons, the Tigers posted a 64-17-5 record including a program-best 17 wins in 1987 which was broken in 2012. The 1990 all-Hoosier Conference for Women selection is still tied for third in school history with 64 career goals and tied for sixth with 139 points. Her 24 goals in 1990 are tied for third in program history and her 51 points that year are tied for sixth.

Driggs earned a degree in physical education from DePauw and later earned a Master of Education in reading and learning disabilities from DePaul.

There, she works as a learning strategist and testing coordinator.
