Skroski was a three-time All-Patriot League choice and a two-time Academic All-Patriot League choose. She was the crew’s MVP in 2008, the 12 months she acquired her bachelor’s diploma in animal conduct.

“I’m very excited to be joining such an established and successful coaching staff at Denison University and stepping into the college arena with such an intelligent and talented team of student-athletes,” Skroski stated. “I can’t wait to add my creativity and passion to the mix and see what levels we can reach.
