Ashley Hoffman follows her mother’s footsteps, reaches Summer Olympics

Posted Jul 8, 2024
It sounds like hyperbole that former UNC star Ashley Hoffman had a field hockey stick in her crib. Then again, maybe it’s not. Hoffman has not surprisingly followed the footsteps of her mother, Brenda, who starred at Penn State. This month, Ashley will represent the United States on the women’s field hockey team in the Olympics, like Brenda did 40 years ago. (MSN.com)
