The next year Kathy won her first Women's Knockout event. Her team went on to win the next three women's team events as well, to make it four consecutive wins in women's national team events! Her team represented the US in the 2005 Venice Cup in Portugal.

Kathy was a Grand Life Master and was ranked #207 in the world bridge federation's women's rankings (per Google).
