FH's Hoffman Plays for the USWNT - Rams Club
The words, “after graduation, she hopes to continue to represent the USA in field hockey…” have been part of her online college biography since she was a freshman. Now a sophomore at the University of North Carolina, Ashley Hoffman's post-graduation goal has come true, only two years sooner than intended.
"Time and sacrifice is what it takes to reach the next level," said Hoffman. "Hours and hours of work past your peers, and many missed social events. It takes a hunger that proves to be relentless toward being the best you can be, but all of that is well worth it when you get to put on a USA jersey for the first time. To play at the senior level alongside such inspiring women, and to represent something that is so much bigger than yourself is the greatest a honor. Being arm in arm singing the national anthem on the pitch in New Zealand was surreal, and I don't think I will ever get used to it. I feel blessed to be on the team and thank God for this amazing opportunity."
