person who immediately impressed him when he hired her tobe an assistant during the 2008 season.Quigley,
a Duquesne alum,spent just one season under Scerbo before moving to South Carolina tostart Erskine
College’s NCAA Division II program."In that time, Ireally saw how much passion she had to be a
coach, and how much sheenjoyed working with the kids," Scerbo said. "She was a teacher, and
shewanted to help kids grow and learn, not just about the sport, but aboutlife."She spent three
years at Erskine before taking the top jobat Seton Hill for the 2012 season. She stayed in touch with
Scerbo,often seeking his guidance and showing up at the Duquesne alumni game."Shewas a very happy
person, very passionate about life, about her players,about her job and most importantly about her
family," Scerbo said.Quigley, a native of Baltimore, was married and had a young son, Gavin, the

inspections, which include bus and driver safetychecks, said Jennifer Kocher, a spokeswoman for the
state Public UtilityCommission, which regulates bus companies.The agency’s motorsafety inspectors could
think of no accidents or violations involvingthe company that would raise a red flag, she said, though
completesafety records were not available Saturday.On Tuesday, anotherbus carrying college lacrosse
players from a Vermont team was hit by asports car that spun out of control on a wet highway in upstate
