Duquesne University Athletics

Tricia Erano enters the first year of her collegiate coaching career as an assistant with her Alma Mater. The two-year starter brings an abundance of knowledge and skill to the program eager to bolster Duquesne back into the top of the Atlantic 10 standings.

Erano played for the Red & Blue from 1999 until 2002 leading the team[apos]s midfield and defensive play. A quick and feisty playmaker, she helped record 14 team shutouts over her collegiate career, including five during her freshman campaign.

As a collegian, she was named to the Dean[apos]s List, Director of Athletics Honor Roll and Atlantic 10 Commissioner[apos]s Honor Roll. Erano is a member of Kappa Psi pharmaceutical fraternity and is currently in her fifth-year as a pharmacy major at Duquesne.

The Mechanicville, NY native had a stellar prep and ODP career as well and was named a three-time league all-star and section all-star. Erano led her 1998 Empire State Scholastic team to a bronze medal and also lettered in track & field.

Her sister Joanna is a sophomore on the St. Francis (Pa.) women[apos]s soccer team. Erano will coach against her little sister when the Dukes face SFU on the road, Sept. 7.
