Montclair State University Athletics

Trisha Winkle returns to her alma mater for her eighth season working with the Red Hawk goalkeepers. No stranger to the position, Winkle was two-time All-NJAC selection while also collecting back-to-back First-Team All-Region honors from the National Field Hockey Coaches Association in 2002 and 2003. Winkle was part of the resurgence in the Red Hawks program in the early 2000s. During her career, Montclair State posted a record of 55-21 which included the ECAC Mid-Atlantic Championship in 2000. Three years later, Winkle played an integral part in one of the finest seasons in program history. Montclair State posted a 15-5 record which included a 4-3 double-overtime victory against top-ranked The College of New Jersey. In that game, Winkle came up with a huge stop on a penalty stroke. She finished her career as the all-time leader in saves with 663, averaging just over 11 per contest and a 1.82 goals against average. Winkle graduated from Montclair State in 2006 with her degree in Commercial Recreation and Tourism.
