PORTLAND, Ore. — Among a 2024 University of Portland Hall of Fame class that included Megan Rapinoe, Sandpoint local Angie (Woznuk) Kerr, now a coach for the Sandpoint Strikers organization, was inducted for her efforts as a Pilot from 2003 to 2007 — efforts that included a 2005 NCAA Division I National Championship and three-time All-American honors.

Kerr, who coaches the 2015 Sandpoint Strikers (black) boys' soccer team in which her son Theo plays on, said it was an incredible weekend back on campus with her family. Being inducted into the Hall of Fame on Friday was something she said was so special that it's hard to put into words.

"Soccer was something I fell in love with as a young girl, and to get the opportunity to play at a top collegiate school where we won a national championship ... that was a dream come true," Kerr said about her time at Portland. "I don’t think I would have been able to accomplish anything on the field had it not been for the teammates I was surrounded by and the Pilot community that supported us day in and day out. They allowed me to play with so much joy and freedom. I will be forever grateful for my experience on the field as a Pilot."

Kerr, said it's hard to pinpoint a favorite memory, but one of her top ones is contributing a goal and two assists in the Pilots' 4-0 win over UCLA in the 2005 National Championship game.

"Aside from that, I think the experience of walking out on Merlo Field, under the lights, with a sold-out stadium, filled with a Pilot community that just loved and supported our women’s soccer program deeply, will also always be a favorite memory of mine."

Kerr certainly was a reason for those sold-out seats. She was a unanimous First-Team All-American honoree as a senior, garnered Third-Team All-American honors from the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (now the United Soccer Coaches) in 2005 and a Second-Team citation from Soccer Buzz in 2006. She was a four-time All-West Coast Conference honoree and is one of 12 Pilots to earn three All-WCC First-Team citations (2005, 2006, 2007); she was also a Second-Team selection in 2003. As a Pilot, she concluded her career with 19 goals and 34 assists — the 34 assists ranks as No.7 all-time in Pilot History. During the 2006 season is where 13 of those 34 assists came from, a number that is tied for seventh in a single season in school history.

In addition to those accolades, Kerr was also named to the All-West Region First-Team three times, was the 2007 WCC Player of the Year and a finalist for the 2007 Lowe's Senior Class Award. While a Pilot, she helped the team to an overall record of 76-11-7 in her four years on the field.

Kerr, who also helped the U.S. U19 National Team to a third place finish at the 2004 FIFA Women's World Cup, had an impressive post-collegiate career. At the 2004 FIFA Women's World Cup, Kerr won the tournament's Silver Ball Award and secured the Bronze Shoe with three goals scored. Overall, she made 26 total appearances for the U19 National Team and recorded 12 goals.

Nationally, Kerr played five years in National Women's Soccer League, two of which were with Portland Thorns FC. She appeared in 29 games over two season with the Thorns, recording four assists and was a part of the 2013 NWSL National Championship team. In her three other NWSL seasons, she made a total of 53 appearances and scored a goal for the St. Louis Athletica, Atlanta Beat, and Sky Blue FC (Harrison, N.J.).

Internationally, Kerr represented the U.S. Senior National Team between 2005-09', making 10 appearances and scoring two goals. 

Today, in addition to coaching, Kerr is the only female that makes appearances with the Sandpoint Legends, a local men's premier team that travels to and hosts exhibition games and tournaments throughout the region.
