six times. But Klatte's program recently plateaued. Purdue
hasn't finished in the top half of the Big Ten since 2009 and
hasn't scored more than 1.8 goals per game since that season,
when it ranked third in the conference.
Roff has early goals: Get Purdue back to the Big Ten Tourna-
ment, where it hasn't played since 2008 (it wasn't contested in
2009 and 2010). But Roff is thinking bigger, as well.
"One of the themes is to not limit yourself. In athletics you
have to have a vision and a plan before you carry it out," said
Roff, who had a 124-64-12 record as an NCAA head coach before
arriving at Purdue. "One of the reasons I came here is I wanted
to go somewhere that could really make some noise on a nation-
al scale. Purdue has been to that point. Our location is fantastic
— two hours from Chicago, people in Michigan love to come to
Purdue, Indianapolis, Fort Wayne. We have a top-10 facility in
the country. It is phenomenal.
"When you put that together with the university that is Pur-
due and its world-class education, we have so much potential.
I haven't put a timetable on anything, we have our goals, and
we want to shoot high, and if we come up short we still
achieved greatly."

Junior Maddy Williams (12) is one of the Big Ten's best goal-scorers, but she'll get
help in a new system.
"Hard-
working,
attack-
minded,
maybe a
little flair and
enjoyment
in the game.
The game
should be
fun."
