An alum with a championship ring as a player, Grogan added another one as an assistant coach for the program in 2019. She played a vital part in the team leading the league in assists, goals and points during the campaign. 

The team also scored its first NCAA Tournament goal during her first season as a full-time staff member and led fourth-seeded Penn State 1-0 at halftime.

She began her first season as an assistant coach after serving as a volunteer assistant on the 2018 squad that won 11 games and an America East Regular Season title. The team lost just one of its eight games en route to the title.

Before joining the Seawolves staff, she coached the U12 and U13 teams for NY Surf Soccer during the 2018-19 campaign, winning the NYCSL NPL Championship with the U13 team. Her other club experience includes currently coaching Farmingdale SC/East Meadow SC’s U15 and U18 Girls ERCL teams.

She also coached the FC Tampa Rangers U17 and U13 Girls teams between 2016-18.

In her playing career, the Easthampton, N.J. native helped Stony Brook to an America East Tournament title and NCAA Tournament berth in 2012 while leading the program to its first regular-season title in 2013. She served as a captain on the 2013 and 2014 teams. She also ran track during the 2014-15 season.

Her playing time also took her to the WPSL’s Jersey Blues FC in 2012 and 2013 and the Tampa Bay Hellenic in 2016. She graduated from Stony Brook in 2015 with a degree in coastal environmental studies and has spent the last three years earning her Master’s degree in biology at the University of South Florida.
