I look forward to working with the top student-athletes and an incredible coaching staff with Jenn Cook and Kerrin Maurer. I am honored to be a member of this coaching staff and look forward to competing for championships alongside them and our talented team."

A two-time CAA Goalkeeper of the Year, she was a three-time All-CAA selection and earned six combined All-American honors from Inside Lacrosse Magazine and USA Lacrosse Magazine. An IWLCA All-Region selection in 2022, she was chosen to play in the IWLCA Senior All-Star game at the conclusion of this past season.
Off the field, Dougherty was twice named JMU Athletic Director's Scholar-Athlete and was selected to the CAA Commissioner's Honor Roll this past semester.
