It's an honor to get to work alongside Sonia and Mike and I'm eager to help the team continue on its trend toward becoming an elite, top tier program."
 
"Kerrigan has been an outstanding player and fierce competitor, who embodies characteristics we hold in high regard at Towson," said Towson head coach Sonia LaMonica. "She gained invaluable experience this past season helping coach UNC to a national championship.  She is someone who I think is a perfect role model for our student-athletes. I'm excited to have her energy and passion as part of our coaching staff as we work to smash through new barriers as a program."
