Tournament of Champions[]

In the fourth quarterfinal match, she went up against 4-time champion Bruce Seymour and Teen Tournament winner Michael Block, answered the twenty-eight responses (including 1 DD), but only four responses wrong. However, in the FJ!, all three people got their answers wrong but Sandra had just enough to put her through to the semifinals

In the third semifinal match, she went up against fellow five-time champions Steven Popper and Richard Perez-Pena. Sandra fared a lot better getting twenty one of her clues right (including 2 DD's) and none of them wrong. After a rocky Jeopardy round, getting both DD's in the DJ! round saved her, earning her spot in the finals.

In the finals, she went up against Mark Lowenthal and Bruce Naegeli. In game one, Sandra replicated her great game from last time getting and impressive twenty-four clues correct (including 2 DD's) and banking $13,000 for game two. However, in game two, Sandra found herself in the red for the first half of the Jeopardy round and pretty much found herself last for the entire game. When FJ! came around, she was the only person to get her answer wrong, losing everything except the $13,000 she banked earlier handing the win to Mark.

Super Jeopardy![]

In the ninth quarterfinal game, she went up against Senior Tournament winner Zeke Sevilla Jr., and fellow five time champions Bruce Fauman and Jeff Richmond. Sandra (going by Sandy) got ninteen answers correct (including 1 DD) and three incorrect (also including 1 DD). Sandy did fairly decent this time around and even had the lead going into FJ!, but an incorrect answer and a terrible wager cost her a shot at $250,000 and only giving her $5,000.

Ultimate Tournament of Champions[]

In the tenth game of Round One matchups, she went up against Michael Dupée and Jack Archey. After a rocky start in the Jeopardy! round put her in the red on numerous occasions, she was able to regain her footing for a bit, even having the lead for a while. However, a good DD from Michael was all he needed to lock him into a spot in Round Two.
