It was quite the roundabout trip for UConn women’s soccer goalkeeper Courtney Hofer to end up in Storrs. A native of Farmington, Hofer committed to TCU out of high school and left home to go halfway across the country to pursue her dream of playing college soccer.
Over her three seasons there, she amassed 72 saves but started just 18 games as she split time with other keepers. Without a secure role for her for her senior season, Hofer decided to transfer.
“I think it was time. TCU is a great program and I have all the respect in the world for them but it was time to move on,” Hofer said.
