Coffey, a junior from Woodbridge, England, kicked off her 2025 campaign by tying for second place at the Chinatown/SU Invitational hosted by Shenandoah University at Cacapon Resort State Park in Berkeley Springs, W.Va. Coffey, who was the ODAC individual champion during her rookie season in 2023-24, matched Brooke Smith from Catholic University at 6-over par 150 to finish six strokes back of individual medalist Kate Parsons from Marymount University (Va.). Coffey carded six birdies over her two rounds on the par-72 track played at 5,647 yards, posting 75 over each 18-hole set. She birdied the par-3 eighth and par-5 18th holes in round one and followed up in the second round with a second birdie on #18 in addition to three more on the second, fifth, and 16th holes, all set at par-4. Coffey's six birdies were tied with Marymount's Tinleigh Rusher for second-most behind Parsons' seven.
