The 21-year-old is third in Yale history in goals-against average with a 2.64 GAA. She had six shutouts, which is fifth-highest in school history, and 1,904 saves are seventh-best in Yale history. She was 7-4 in the 2019-20 season with three consecutive shutouts with 186 saves and only allowing twenty goals. Mark Bolding, the head coach of the Yale Women’s hockey team, had this to say on Hofmann.

For the Riveters final pick of the night in the fourth round at pick twenty-one, the Riveters took Franklin Pierce University forward Bridgette Prentiss. She was introduced by current Sky Blue FC midfielder Madison Tiernan.

The 22-year-old from Buffalo, NY, played 119 games with 36 goals and 61 assists. She has scored 21 power-play goals, six game-winning goals, and two hat trick goals for the Ravens. Her coach Dave Stockdale had this to say about Prentiss.

This concludes the Metropolitan Riveters 2020 Draft class as the team prepares for the upcoming 2020-21 season. The Riveters will look to rebound this upcoming season, and with these new additions, it gives them hope for the future.
