2025-26: Kubi leaped into a starting role in her second season at VU, starting in 24 of the 27 games she played in.  She almost doubled her minutes played, ending with 491, good for 18.2 per night.  She was very efficient near the glass, shooting 50.6% (43-85) for the year, the best on the team for anyone with over 20 attempts.  She had a VU-best 103 points in 2025-26, and she had three games with 10 or more points, with her 11 in the OT win at home versus Biola being her high-watermark.  She made 19 of her 38 free throws (50%).  On the rebound front, Kubi hauled in 58 offensive boards and 54 defensive ones for 112 in all, an average of 4.1 per match.  She had a career-best seven offensive boards at APU on February 21, while her six defensive boards against the Cougars in the PacWest Tournament finale helped her to a career-best nine total rebounds.  She also improved in other defensive metrics, with VU bests of six blocks and 50 steals, with five steals coming at Hawaii Pacific alone.  

2024-25: Kubi started one of 26 appearances last season, averaging just over 10 minutes each outing. She had 1.4ppg and 2.7rpg, with 25 of her 70 total rebounds coming on the offensive end. Her season-high in rebounds was five, and it came on four different nights, including the first and last games. Her four points against Hilo and Westmont each was her high mark this year.
