WLAX Alumni Spotlight: Kerrin Maurer
4/29/2020 2:31:00 PM | Women's Lacrosse
Now an assistant coach for Princeton women's lacrosse, Kerrin Maurer graduated from Duke in 2015 and is currently the all-time leader in career assists in Duke women's lacrosse history with 119. In addition, the Setauket, N.Y., native sits second in career points (280) and tied for fourth in career goals (161). She was a two-time All-America selection, including First Team honors as a senior, and was tied for fifth in ACC history in assists when she graduated. Off the field, Maurer was named to the All-ACC Academic Team twice.
Q+A with Kerrin:
Q: What was your degree?
Maurer: I graduated with a degree in political science and a minor in philosophy in 2015
Q: What is your current occupation?
KM: Assistant Women's Lacrosse Coach at Princeton University
Q: How has COVID-19 impacted you?
KM: Just like the DWL team, our season at Princeton was cut short. It has been the first spring since I can remember that I haven't been able to compete or coach lacrosse. Although I feel I am missing a large part of my life during this time, I have been very grateful for the time that this situation had afforded me with my family.
Q: Do you have any fun hobbies?
KM: In my ability to not hang up the athlete cleats yet I still play in an adult kickball and floor hockey league. I also have picked up learning to play the guitar.
Q: What is your favorite athletic memory at Duke?
KM: I think it is hard to come up with just one favorite athletic memory at Duke. If I had to pick, it would be the OT game with UNC in 2014. I still remember the amount of energy there was all over the field throughout the whole game.
Q: What was one thing that you picked up or did following your athletic career?
KM: Following my career at Duke I was fortunate to be able to compete for the Italian National Team. I was able to travel around the world playing as well as teaching the sport I love.
Q: Is there a phrase or advice you value most from Coach Kerstin?
KM: There are so many things that I have taken from Coach Kerstin and have tried to implement into my everyday life and coaching life. I think the biggest would have to be her overall resilience in every situation. As a player I was able to see that truly come to fruition in 2015 during her bout with breast cancer. Now as a coach, I see her continuously work towards making the student-athlete experience the best possible.
Q: If you could go back in time to the beginning of your freshman year, what is one piece of advice you would tell yourself?
KM: My advice to myself would be simple- enjoy every moment.
Q: What piece of advice or message would you tell the current team?
KM: I would tell the current team to stay strong during this unprecedented time. AND don't shoot high to high on the crease!
Q: What does it mean to you to be an alumna of DWL?
KM: Being an alumna of DWL is an honor to come from such a great program filled with amazing people and coaches. I am so thankful for all of the lessons and opportunities that DWL has created for me.
