Jue was a two-sport star, twice earning first-team All-Ivy honors in field hockey and helping the Big Red women's ice hockey team to the Frozen Four as a senior captain. In field hockey, Jue led the team to back-to-back 10-win seasons, including tying a school record with 11 victories in 2008. She ranked second in the nation in save percentage (.841) her senior season and was seventh in goals against average (1.27) en route to second-team NFHCA regional All-America honors. On the ice, Jue helped lead the team to the 2010 NCAA Women's Frozen Four National Championship game. The squad also won an Ivy League and ECAC Hockey title during her career. Jue had a knack for scoring when it mattered most. She had at least one point in all three NCAA tournament games in 2010, including both goals in the national championship game. Jue assisted on the game-tying third period goal in the national semifinals against unbeaten Mercyhurst and scored the game-tying third period goal in the final against Minnesota-Duluth.
