#18 Tiffany Yovino
Yovino capped off her four-year career with the Pride in 2010 by earning third team All-America honors from the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA). She became the third All-American in the history of the Hofstra Women's Soccer program, joining Sue Weber (2005, 2007) and Brooke DeRosa (2007), who were also third team selections.
 
In 2010 Yovino helped Hofstra to a 19-3 final record and a spot in the second round of the NCAA Tournament. The 19 wins set a new school record, breaking the mark that Yovino helped set as a freshman in 2007, when the Pride finished 18-4. Hofstra also won 18 straight games, shattering the old school record of 10 straight set by the 2005 team and tying for the third-longest single-season winning streak in Hofstra history in any sport.
 
In addition to her All-American distinction, Yovino also earned first team All-Mid-Atlantic region honors from the NSCAA, making her the first four-time all-region selection in Hofstra history. Yovino was also named the 2010 Colonial Athletic Association Player of the Year, making her the first conference player of the year in program history. She also had the game-winning goal in a 1-0 win over Connecticut in the first round of the NCAA Tournament, the program's second NCAA victory.
 
In her four years with the Pride, Yovino started in all 85 games in the midfield and her career record with the Pride was 58-21-6. She recorded 50 career points on 21 goals and eight assists during her tenure, and had a key role in the two winningest seasons in school history, as well as both of the program's NCAA Tournament wins.
 
Yovino also excelled in the classroom and was named a first team ESPN CoSIDA Academic All-American in 2010, joining just six other student-athletes in Hofstra athletics history (in any sport) in achieving first team Academic All-America distinction. In 2011 she became the first Hofstra student-athlete to earn a prestigious NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship.
