Imhof was also an assistant at The College of New Jersey (TCNJ) where she played for four seasons, helping the Lions reached the Division III national semifinal contest in 2009.

"I am extremely grateful to be part of the winning tradition at Princeton,” stated Imhof when she was hired. “The championship mindset that Coach Banghart has established within her program is what inspired me to join the team. Princeton is a community where our student-athletes can thrive on and off the court, and I am looking forward to helping the program with continued success. It feels incredible to return home to the state of New Jersey as a Princeton Tiger, and I would like to thank Coach Banghart for giving me this opportunity."
