Kelly Hoffman Class: Senior Hometown: Boyertown, Pa. High School: Oley Valley Position: Midfielder

According to Head Coach Heather Lewis: "Without a doubt, as one of our team captains, Kelly will be the `engine' that drives this team by virtue of an impeccable work ethic and commitment to excellence. It has been my privilege to coach Kelly over the past three seasons as she continues to improve in every facet of her game. She is a fierce competitor who balances her tenacity with a genuine sense of caring for each of her teammates. I'm excited to watch Kelly in her final season--one I anticipate will be the pinnacle of her career here at Bucknell.
