Hofstra’s record in those six seasons was 73-47. In 2011, Hofstra rebounded from an injury-plagued year the season before to post a 13-9 overall record, a 20th-place ranking in the final NCAA Ratings Percentage Index (RPI), a second-place finish in the CAA with a 5-3 mark, and advanced to the CAA Championship semifinals. The 13 wins matched her personal best as coach and tied her own mark for the second most wins in the history of the program.
