Profile
Tori Quinn joined the Mercer women's lacrosse coaching staff as an assistant coach on July 26, 2021.

Quinn comes to Mercer after serving as an assistant coach at Liberty University for the last four years where she was responsible for working with the Lady Flames’ offense while assisting with recruiting.

In her four years at Liberty, Quinn coached 37 all-conference performers, including the 2021 ASUN Freshman of the Year, Mackenzie Lehman. She instructed seven All-Conference First Team performers, 13 players who garnered second team honors and two honorable mentions. Additionally, six Flames earned All-Freshman accolades and five were selected to the All-Tournament Team, while four landed on the All-Academic Teams.

Following the 2020 season that was cut short due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Quinn and the Lady Flames worked their way to a 10-9 record and a second consecutive appearance in the ASUN championship game in 2021. Liberty set a new program record by receiving a league-high 16 postseason awards in 2021 with four first team members, six second team honorees and five all-freshman team recipients. Lehman, who led all Liberty freshmen in goals (18), assists (9), points (27), and ground balls (23), became the third Lady Flames player to be named the conference Player of the Year and first since Liberty joined the ASUN. Lehman also led the Lady Flames and ranked fourth in the ASUN in draw controls with 53.

In 2019, Liberty enjoyed the best season in program history with Quinn on staff, posting a 14-5 overall mark and 5-1 mark in the ASUN in its first year in the new league. The 14 wins were a program record, while the Lady Flames ended the year at No. 31 (out of 116 teams) in the final NCAA Women's Lacrosse RPI listing, the best mark in program history. The Lady Flames earned the No. 2 seed for the ASUN Lacrosse Championship and reached the ASUN title game in their first year in the conference.

The 2019 season also saw the team lead the nation in caused turnovers per game (15.78) for a second straight season. The Lady Flames also ranked eighth in the country in ground balls per game (21.53), 13th in scoring margin (5.00), 14th in scoring defense (9.11), 18th in shots per game (33.63) and 20th in scoring offense (14.11). Liberty had six ASUN All-Conference selections, including first team members Carly White and Brianna McCaffrey. Additionally, Liberty led all ASUN teams with 10 weekly award winners (offensive and defensive player of the week).
