Hofstra's record in those six seasons was 73-47.
The 2008 season saw Hofstra rebound from a 7-11
mark the year before and post a 10-9 record. In the

Hofstra Field Hockey Stadium in 2008, posting a 6-3
mark in their second season of play at the facility.

CAA Championship. The team finished the season
ranked 21st in the NCAA Ratings Percentage Index

received 23 votes in the final STX/NFHCA Division I
Poll. De Angelis also saw Warner earn second team

personal best as coach and tied for the second most
wins in the history of the program. 2005 also saw De
Angelis' star junior Doni-Melissa Jantzen earn third
team All-America honors for the second consecutive
year. On a personal note, De Angelis posted career
victory 100 in the Pride's 4-1 win over Drexel on
October 2.

13-8 record, the most wins in her tenure and the
second highest total in program history, and a berth
in the Colonial Athletic Association Championship.

first four seed to advance to the title game. The
postseason appearance was also Hofstra's first
since the 1987 season. The 2004 squad also
produced Hofstra's first All-American since 1999 as
Jantzen earned third team accolades.

Poll, peaking at #18 following a 5-0 start to the
season.
In 2001 De Angelis led her team to a 12-8 record. It
marked the second straight year of improvement for
the team after a 4-16 record in 1999. The 2001
season also saw Hofstra return to the national
rankings as the team received votes in the
STX/NFHCA Poll on two occasions.
