2007 Season:  Hosking returns for her fourth season as a member of the Fairfield University field hockey team. She played in all 20 games a year ago, surpassing her previous personal best of 18 appearances set in her freshman season. She tallied her first career points during the 2007 campaign, scoring two goals and one assist for five points. The forward netted a goal against Lock Haven and nationally-ranked Boston University, and added an assist in the Iowa contest. She started 17 games, missing nods in road games against William and Mary, Saint Francis, and New Hampshire.

2006 Season: Hosking earned four starts during the season which came over a five-game span between September 29 and October 8. She came off the bench in 12 other games, including the first five outings of 2006. Her starts were against Rider, Columbia, Brown, and Monmouth. Hosking showed the versatility to play as an offensive and defensive player throughout the season. She appeared in 16 of the team's 19 games, missing time against UMass, Saint Joseph's, and Temple. Hosking did not score any points during the year, but managed six shots on goal.

2005 Season: Hoskings appeared in 18 games a year ago, spending most of her time on the offensive side of the field. Her ability to play both the forward and midfield positions make her a valuable commodity to the coaching staff. She gained three starts in 2005, receiving the nod in three home games against Northeast Conference opponents. Her first two starts were in back-to-back outings against Robert Morris and Monmouth. One week later, she secured her final start in the Sacred Heart game. Hoskings did not score any points, but did apply pressure by sending seven shots toward the opponent's goal.

She was a two-time Mountain Valley Conference All-Star, and made two appearances on the Morning Call All-Star team. Hosking received the Pocono Record's Player of the Year award in 2004, the same season she collected the most valuable player award from her school. Hosking participated in the USFHA Futures program at the regional level. Her skills also carried over to the track, where she was a silver medalist in the 100 hurdles at the Mountain Valley Conference championships, and played fifth in the District 11 championships.
