The Seneca Valley graduate — now pursuing her master's degree in organizational management at Misericordia University — was recently named head women's lacrosse coach at the school.

Two years ago, she was trying to decide whether to finish out her own collegiate lacrosse career at Indiana (Pa.) University after suffering a torn ACL three games into her senior season.

“Had I not played ... I wouldn't be in this position right now. I don't think so,” Gallagher said. “I probably would have gone to a different school and never would have gotten this opportunity.”

After returning to IUP lacrosse for her final season, Gallagher became a first team All-PSAC performer as a defender, along with earning All-South Region and second team All-America honors.
