Kivi has helped build the Sabre women's hockey program and have led Marian to a berth in the NCHA Harris Cup Playoffs three times.  Kivi was named the NCHA Co-Coach of the Year in 2014 and has had three student-athletes honored as All-NCHA and another three student-athletes named to the NCHA All-Freshman team.  In the classroom, Marian has had 42 student-athletes earn NCHA All-Academic honors under Kivi and the 2016-17 squad posted an impressive 3.43 team grade point average.

Prior to Kivi's arrival at Marian, she helped St. Norbert establish a women’s ice hockey program from scratch and compiling an impressive .500 record in the ever-competitive Northern Collegiate Hockey Association in its first two seasons of existence.  As the full-time assistant at St. Norbert, Kivi was involved in all aspects of the program, primarily the recruiting efforts, the analyzing of game statistics and player performance, and the preparation of the defensive strategies.  While at St. Norbert, the Green Knights compiled a 25-25-4 overall record in two seasons, qualifying for the NCHA tournament each year. She coached three players named to the All-NCHA team, three others that earned honorable mention accolades, and two All-Rookie team members.

Prior to joining St. Norbert’s staff, Kivi was a standout defenseman for Division III Elmira College in New York where she led her team to three ECAC West conference titles and three Division III Frozen Four appearances.  She was twice named Reebok First Team All-American and was a finalist for the Hurd Award, given by the American Hockey Coaches Association to the Division III Women’s Player of the Year.
