Class:
1975

One of the earliest two-sport stars in women’s athletics at Northern Colorado, Hoffman led the softball team to four-straight Intermountain Conference titles and helped the basketball team to second- and third-place finishes in conference play. Hoffman was also among the first to receive the UNC Women’s Intercollegiate Athletic Scholarship, which was awarded for her leadership and ability in both sports. On the diamond, she helped lead the Bears to the 1974 and 1975 Women’s College World Series as a starting pitcher, earning all-conference honors as a senior. On the hardwood, Hoffman averaged a double-double with 14 points and 10 rebounds a game in her final year. Her work in both sports helped open the door for female athletes around the country.
