A former four-year starting America East goalkeeper herself at UAlbany, Reid-Espinal helped develop Hartford’s Maria Perez into a Second Team All-America East and Third Team All-Region honoree. The Hawks ranked second in the league in team defense (1.00 goal per game) despite leading the circuit in saves (136).

Before joining Hartford, Reid-Espinal served as a graduate assistant at Smith College for two years. As a goalkeeper coach, she guided the Pioneers’ Shelby Hall to a career-best season in 2017 that featured 113 saves and six shutouts, which doubled her total from her previous season. Reid-Espinal also contributed to managing the team’s budget, assisted in development and directed camps and clinics at Smith. She started her collegiate coaching career as an assistant at the Rochester Institute of Technology.
