Coaching career[]

In 2009, Kresge joined the coaching staff of her alma mater under Brian Giorgis.[4] The Red Foxes would reach the postseason six of the eight years she was on staff with five NCAA Tournament appearances and a WNIT appearance. Kresge joined the coaching staff at Vermont in 2016, serving as associate head coach under Chris Day.[1] After Day resigned his position amid an investigation into his verbal conduct and subsequently took an assistant coaching position at La Salle, Kresge was given the title of interim head coach for the 2018–19 season.[5]

During her interim coaching season, Kresge guided the Catamounts to its best record in nearly a decade going 11–18 overall for the most wins since the 2009–10 season.[6] On April 9, 2019 the interim tag was officially lifted and Kresge was named the ninth head coach in Vermont women's basketball history.[7]
