REDSHIRT SENIOR (2016): Hogg helped CU put together one of the best seasons in school history in her final year in Boulder. The team captain led the Buffs to the NCAA Tournament and a second-place finish in the Pac-12. Despite battling a leg injury in the second half of the season, she started 13 of 16 matches at outside-left back. On Sept. 11 she scored on a free kick in a 4-1 win over Iowa, her first goal since 2014. She also had an assist in CU’s season-opening 2-0 win over Air Force. At the time of her injury, she was leading the team in minutes played, but then missed six consecutive matches. She returned to play as a reserve in the final three matches of the season. For the year, Hogg totaled 1,111 minutes on the field and the Buffs had a 0.73 goals-against average, outscoring opponents 23-9 when she was on the field. She was also named second-team Academic All-Pac-12 for the second consecutive season, carrying a 3.81 GPA.

SENIOR (2015): Hogg was the team’s leader through six matches, before she suffered a season-ending injury. Hogg started the first six matches and appeared in 521 minutes as one of the Buffs’ center defenders, leading the team to a 0.69 goals-against average while she was on the pitch. In her six matches, CU outscored its opponents 11-4 and the Buffs earned shutouts against Colorado College, New Mexico and Cincinnati. She played every minute of three matches, including against Colorado State, BYU and Iowa State. Despite missing most of the season, she earned second-team Academic All-Pac-12 with her 3.78 grade point average.

JUNIOR (2014): In her debut season for the Buffs, Hogg was third on the team in scoring, netting four total, two of which were game-winners and tied for third with four assists. She played in 22 matches, making 21 starts, totaling 1,690 minutes. Hogg also put 9 of her 18 shots on goal. She tallied her first point for the black in gold against Northern Colorado, an assist on the game-winning score and then went on to record her first goal at CU at UNLV in the UNLV Nike Invitational, helping CU go on to win 3-0. One of her biggest moments in her young Colorado career came against Oregon when she scored two goals in the final 15 minutes to lift the Buffs past the Ducks after CU had been trailing 1-0 up to that point. It was Hogg’s first multi-goal game of her career. Her performance earned her CU Athlete of the Week honors.

SOPHOMORE (2013 at FLORIDA STATE): Hogg appeared in eight games, playing double digits in five. She saw action in three of FSU’s six NCAA Tournament games, playing against South Alabama, Colorado and Boston College.

FRESHMAN (2012 at FLORIDA STATE): Hogg saw minutes in 10 games and made two starts. She made her collegiate debut in FSU’s 1-0 victory over then-No. 22 Florida. She made her first start in the next game, taking three shots against the College of Charleston. Hogg played a season-high 66 minutes against Jackson State, hitting a shot on goal as FSU won 5-0. Against Clemson, Hogg added an assist in the 86th minute, helping the Seminoles to a 7-0 victory. Hogg made her second start in the semifinals of the ACC Tournament, and saw action in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. Hogg earned a spot on the ACC Academic Honor Roll, the fall 2012 Dean’s List and the Spring 2013 President’s List.
