Kerrin Maurer Elevated To Associate Head Coach For Women's Lacrosse
June 17, 2022 | Women's Lacrosse
After five seasons as an assistant coach with the Princeton women's lacrosse program, Kerrin Maurer has been elevated to Associate Head Coach as announced by new head coach Jenn Cook.
"I am thrilled to announce the promotion of Kerrin Maurer to Associate Head Coach," Cook said. "The knowledge and skills she has brought to the program since her arrival five years ago is intangible. She continues to inspire, lead with passion, brings contagious energy every day and believes in Princeton's mission of 'Education Through Athletics'. Her lacrosse IQ is unparalleled and that filters through into her ability to develop our student-athlete's talent, scout opponents, run the offense, make in-game decisions, facilitate high-level practices, identify top recruits and work closely with the draw unit. I am extremely thankful she has chosen to stay at Princeton and support me in leading this program into an exciting new chapter."
In her five years at Princeton, Maurer's teams have won three Ivy League championships and three Ivy League Tournaments -- claiming trophies in all three full seasons completed due to COVID-19. The Tigers have also qualified for the NCAA Tournament three times since Maurer joined Princeton, winning games in all three trips to the national tournament and reaching the quarterfinals in 2018 and 2019.
"I remain honored and excited to continue my career here at Princeton University, a special place, with incredible student-athletes," Maurer said. "For the last five years, I have been extremely fortunate to work with Chris Sailer and Jenn Cook, who are undoubtedly two of the best in the game. I would like to thank our Athletic Director John Mack, as well as our entire Athletic Department for their support. I am especially grateful to Jenn Cook for having the confidence in me and allowing me to serve as her Associate Head Coach."
A 2015 graduate of Duke University, Maurer was an assistant coach at Mt. St. Mary's for 2016 and 2017 seasons before making the move to Princeton.
A two-time All-American, Maurer graduated as Duke's all-time leader in assists with 119. She ranked fifth all-time in ACC history in assists and was a three-time All-ACC selection. A three-time Tewaaraton Trophy nominee, Maurer graduated second in Duke history in career points with 280 and tied for fourth in career goals with 161, while finishing on a 47-game point scoring streak. Maurer helped the Blue Devils to four NCAA quarterfinal appearances, and reached the national semifinals in 2015 after topping Princeton in the quarterfinals.
Â
Academically, Maurer was a two-time All-ACC Academic Team selection and a three-year member of the ACC Academic Honor Roll, while earning her degree in political science.
During the summer of 2017, Maurer played in the World Cup as a member of Italy's national team.
On the club level, Maurer served as head coach of Long Island Express Lacrosse based out of Huntington, N.Y. in the summers since 2011. She has also gained experience working at camps in North Carolina, Michigan and New York.
