Baum also shot 81% from the foul line in her career, making it the second best percentage at Fisher all-time. As a freshman and sophomore, Baum made contributions to Fisher teams that went 23-3 and 25-4 respectively. During her junior season, she set the Fisher single-season 3-point record at 79 made 3-point field goals while leading the Cardinals in scoring and assists that season. The following year Baum went on to break her own single season 3-point mark, this time hitting 97 of them while averaging nearly 17 points per game in that 2005-06 season. Fisher went 25-3 that year, winning the Empire 8 Championship as Baum earned Empire 8 and All-Regional First Team honors.
