In 2012, she led the squad to a program-record 15 wins, and overall in six seasons at Marist, the Red Foxes made five MAAC Tournament appearances. As a member of the Diversity Council at Marist, she and the team were involved in several events on and off campus related to diversity, equity and inclusion.


Prior to her work at Marist, Hofstede was the top assistant coach and Director of Goalkeeping at her alma mater, Columbia University, from 2005-06, and 2007-11.

Jimmy Rodewald

Jimmy Rodewald, a Bard graduate, returned to Bard in the summer of 2015.

A four-year starter in goal as a Bard undergraduate, Rodewald later played in an indoor league in Phoenix while in graduate school, and also played in Northern Mexico with a Santa Fe, New Mexico–based men’s team.
