As an undergraduate, Jeremiah was a two-year team captain for the Lions.  She earned All-America honors as a senior and 
All-Northeast Region accolades as both a junior and a senior.  She still holds the Lions single-season record for assists (12).
Jeremiah, who owns a United States Soccer Federation "A" licence, has been involved in training many youth teams throughout the state.  For the past four summers she has served as a head coach in the New Jersey State Girls Olympic Development Program.  Last summer, she coached the under 17 age group.
