Bruce is committed to the development of the program and continues to build a strong foundation for the future of the team.

Last spring, senior captain Rachael Huntley and junior Cayla O'Connor earned All-SUNYAC third team honors under Bruce's tutelage.

In 2017, Bruce coached senior captain Murphy Newman and sophomore Cayla O'Connor to All-SUNYAC honors.

In 2016 Bruce led a talented, but young squad to the first playoff appearance in program history. At 7-9 over all and 3-5 in the SUNYAC, the Bears matched the program record for wins and established a new mark for conference victories. Season highlights included Senior Bri McClusky becoming the second Bear to reach 200 points for her career and the team's first ever win over Oneonta on April 19. McClusky and Senior Maggie McCabe were named second team All-SUNYAC, while juniors Murphy Newman and Katie Lapinski earned spots on the third team. The four all-conference selection are a program best. Bruce's Bears also set team records for goals (196), assists (95) and points (291).

In 2015, Bruce guided seniors Emily Petit and Bailey Weigel to spots on the All-SUNYAC third team as the Bears lost a tie-breaker for the final playoff spot. Petit closed her career as the program's all-time leader in ground balls (170), caused turnovers (86) and games-started (57). Weigel finished fourth in scoring with 143 points, fifth in goals (89), third in assists (54) and first in draw controls (324).

In 2014, Bruce coached Emily Petit to the All-SUNYAC second team. Petit averaged 3.2 ground balls-per-contest (second best in the conference) and caused 1.67 turnovers-per-game (eighth in the conference). Bailey Weigel shattered her own single-season and the career draw control records with 112 and 208, respectively. She led the SUNYAC in the category for the second straight year.

In 2013, Bruce coached newcomer Bailey Weigel to a breakout season and spot on the All-SUNYAC second team. The attacker led the Bears in scoring with 22 goals and 11 assists for 33 points. She led the SUNYAC and was 14th in the nation with a Potsdam single-season record 96 draw controls, placing her fifth on the school's all-time list after just one season.

During the 2012 campaign, Bruce helped Brittany Coffey emerge as a second team All-SUNYAC defender. She saw the graduation of one of her most successful classes. Carly Richards finished her career with 218 points (147 goals, 71 assists) as SUNY Potsdam's all-time leading scorer.
