What They Are Saying...
“Murph’s coaching style and the winning tradition she has built for this program are among the top reasons that I chose Scranton. She has cultivated a competitive, resilient and supportive program where each player knows that they play an integral role in the success of the team. The greatest thing about Murph, however, is that she is more than a coach to her players. She is a mentor, advocate and a friend.” – Teresa Hegarty ‘23
“I am happy and excited for Murph getting her 200th win. Nobody deserves it more than her. She is a fearless competitor, leader and coach who cultivates a competitive, yet fun, team environment. I’ve now both played for Murph and coached alongside her and it’s evident how much she cares for each and every one of her players. She wants to see them succeed in every aspect on and off the field. I’m so lucky to have been a part of the Scranton soccer tradition and can’t wait to see everything else Murph accomplishes.” – Alexis Long ‘21, DPT ‘24
