Coach Rayfield on Hoffman: "It is exciting for us to have depth in the goalkeeping position heading into the 2009 season. Katelyn has all the tools necessary to develop into a tremendous college goalkeeper. She has the physical frame, the athletic ability and will now put herself in one of the best goalkeeping training environments. Her development will be fast, and the increased intensity in the training environment due to a deep and competitive goalkeeping unit will have an incredible impact on this team."
