As a Junior in 2007: Hayley started all 18 matches for the Wildcats and was third on the team in scoring with seven points on two goals and three assists... Posted a career-high 69 shots to lead the team in attempts for the second year in-a-row... Moved into second on the all-time career shots attempted list at Weber State with a total of 182...

As a Sophomore in 2006: Hayley started hot in 2006, scoring seven points over the team’s first seven matches, but an ankle injury suffered on Sep. 30 against Western Illinois severely limited her for the second half of the year and she did not score in the final 12 outings...

Was one of only two Wildcat freshmen (along with Ashtyn Webster) to start every game in 2005... She set WSU freshman records for games played and games... Her 15 points tied for third best on the team in 2005 and is the second best for a freshman in WSU history (Natalie Hensley 25 in 2000)... Her five assists was third on the team and matched the school’s freshman record, tying Hensley’s mark from 2000... Hayley also scored a pair of game-winning goals. The first came on Oct. 1 in a 1-0 win over Utah State. The second came in a crucial Big Sky match as WSU defeated Northern Arizona 4-1 on Oct. 27. The pair of game-winners was just one behind the school freshman record of three set by Linsey McFarland in 2003... Hayley’s first career goal came in the second game of the season as WSU lost to Arizona State 5-2 on Aug. 28 in Tempe, Ariz...
