A Pac-10 first team selection as a junior, Gabriel ranks in the UW career top-10 in five categories, including total blocks (2nd - 613) and block assists (2nd - 520) [1]. She also ranked in the top-25 nationally in blocks per game in each of her four seasons at Washington.
After completing her eligibility in 1998, Gabriel trained with the USA National Team program and was selected to participate at the 1999 World University Games in Spain.
She returned to Washington to complete her degree and graduated in 2000 with her bachelor's degree in psychology and a minor in speech communications[2].

In addition, she was named the CVU.com (Collegiate Volleyball Update) National Setter of the Year, and was a finalist for the Honda Award after winning the award in 2005.

Gabriel also aided in the development of Tamari Miyashiro (2006-09) into the top libero in the nation. Miyashiro was twice named the Volleyball Magazine National Defender of the Year in 2007 and 2008, and was a three-time AVCA All-American from 2007-09. She set the school digs record with 2,382 which ranks her ninth in NCAA history[4].
