"I am looking forward to working with a well respected coaching staff and help coach a talented group of women. It feels great to once again be a part of one of the best Division I women's soccer teams in the nation."Prior to coming to Santa Clara, Hawkins, 26, was heavily involved in coaching from 2004-07, serving as the assistant women's soccer coach at Cabrillo College in Aptos, while also coaching youth teams for the Santa Cruz County Breakers.

"In addition to being a great player for us here at Santa Clara University, she was a well-rounded student-athlete and a great leader. Her SCU experience as well as her professional and international playing experience will serve her well when coaching and mentoring our current players. Devvyn will be very comfortable overseeing our midfield group as that is where she has always played. Additionally, Devvyn's coaching experience at the club and Community College level over the last several years has allowed her to gain some very valuable knowledge."As a player, Hawkins, who grew up in Olympia, Wash., had one of the most decorated careers in Bronco history, playing for SCU from 1999-2002.
