Colorado Springs, Colo. - The National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA) is proud to announce that Erin Corrigan of the Milwaukee women's soccer team is a 2019 All-American Athlete Award recipient.
 
This award recognizes Corrigan's athletic accomplishments and her dedication to strength and conditioning. Nominated by Director of Strength & Conditioning Matt Holt, Erin's determination to improve in athletics while maintaining academic prominence is a great model for all student-athletes at Milwaukee.
 
"Erin was hurt during the 2016 season with her second ACL injury," Holt said. "Throughout her career at Milwaukee, Erin was always a hard worker during Strength and Conditioning training. The off-season before her redshirt senior year, Erin displayed even higher levels of determination and strength of character. Erin had obstacles to overcome due to her injury, but she worked hard, led her teammates and fought to achieve high levels of physical preparation."
 
The All-American Strength and Conditioning Athlete of the Year Award program recognizes those collegiate and high school athletes whose athletic accomplishments reflect their dedication to strength training and conditioning.
 
Corrigan missed most of the 2016 and 2017 campaigns coming back from that knee injury. She enjoyed a breakthrough senior campaign in 2018, starting all 19 games after finally returning to 100 percent health-wise. She earned accolades on and off the field, starting by being named Second Team All-Horizon League after finishing second on the team with a career-best 18 points and topping the Horizon League with 12 assists. She was recognized for her work in the classroom as a member of the 2018 United Soccer Coaches Soccer Scholar All-North/Central Region Second Team and also as a Capital One All-District First Team honoree
