Her oversight saw Fairfield student-athletes earn numerous accolades including three MAAC Offensive Player of the Year awards, four First Team All-MAAC selections, one USA Lacrosse Honorable Mention All American and three IWLCA All-Region honorees. The Stags set the program record for assists in a season with 139 in 2025. With Porretto's help, Fairfield earned four NCAA Tournament appearances and won three MAAC Tournament Championships in addition to three MAAC regular season titles.
Before heading to Connecticut, Porretto spent two seasons at Holy Cross as the offensive coordinator. There, she helped to improve the Crusaders' scoring output and mentored attacker Julie Creo to the Patriot League lead in goals and points per game in 2021.
Prior to her stint at Holy Cross, Porretto was the offensive coordinator at Cal, also engineering an offensive resurgence as the Golden Bears rose from 6.8 goals per game before her arrival to 11.6 per game during her first campaign.
Porretto began her coaching career as a volunteer at her alma mater, Ohio State. As a student-athlete with the Buckeyes, she was a member of the inaugural All-Big Ten team in 2015. Porretto was a part of the winningest class in Ohio State history and finished off her career as a two-year captain with back-to-back NCAA postseason appearances in 2014 and 2015. She is originally from Smithtown, New York.
