Ndoye celebrated international successes above all on the continental level. She won her first title at the African Athletics Championships in 1996 in Yaoundé in the triple jump. In addition, she was third in the long jump there and thus won her first two of a total of ten medals at this event until 2006. 1998 in Dakar was followed by a third place in the triple jump. The same placement she reached at the African Games in 1999 in Johannesburg, after she had failed shortly before at the World Athletics Championships in Seville in the qualification. She also missed the finals at the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney. However, in the same year she won the African Athletics Championships in Algiers in the long jump and came second in the triple jump.
At the African Athletics Championships in Radès in 2002 , Ndoye won the silver medal in both long and triple jump, each only beaten by the later Olympic champion Françoise Mbango Etone from Cameroon. She also secured a bronze medal in the 100 meter hurdles , her best result in this discipline. In 2003 she was at the World Indoor Athletics Championships in Birmingham third in the triple jump behind the European champions Ashia Hansen and Françoise Mbango Etone. In the same year she finished tenth at the World Athletics Championships in Paris and eighth at the World Athletics Finals in Monaco. Probably the greatest success of this season she achieved with her victory at the Africa Games in Abuja.
In 2004 Ndoye could not qualify for the final at the World Indoor Athletics Championships in Budapest at the beginning of the year. But she managed in July at the African Athletics Championships in Brazzaville, her third title win after 1996 and 2000, the second in the long jump. In the triple jump she came in second behind the Cuban native Yamilé Aldama , who had only recently received Sudanese citizenship. The following month she started at the Olympic Games in Athens in both disciplines. In the long jump she was eliminated from the qualification, in the triple jump she finished 14th in the final.
At the World Athletics Championships in Helsinki in 2005 , Ndoye reached sixth place triple jump. At the IAAF World Indoor Championships in Moscow in 2006 , however, the final took place again without their participation. This season she completed her athletic career by winning two silver medals in the long jump and in the triple jump at the African Athletics Championships in Bambous.
