Hinks has been a major playing factor during her two seasons here. She said while here, she has seen much improvement in the Cyclone program, especially in recruiting young talent. With this last season of eligibility, Hinks has set a personal goal to make it her best season, and a team goal of making it to conference play in San Antonio. Hinks is a sociology major and is minoring in criminal justice. While at Lord Elgin High School, she was named female athlete of the year and participated in soccer and basketball.
Athletes sacrifice a lot, but that helps in life.
And athletic ability seems to be a norm in Hinks family. Hinks enjoys playing soccer in the United States. She said there is more opposition, and soccer has more of a following. She added that soccer is a good route to go to get Canadians to come to the Unites States. Next year the Cyclones will not have Hinks to lead the team in scoring, but they will have many young players to continue to build the program she helped to start.
