SARATOGA SPRINGS — Kerry Flaherty, a Saratoga native and graduate of Saratoga Springs High School, recently broke the Catholic University women’s basketball single-season three-point record by draining 82 triples in one season. 

She was only the fifth player in Landmark Conference history to make more than 70 threes in a season.

Flaherty officially broke the record during a 17-point performance against Goucher in February.

Flaherty, a graduate student, finished the season averaging 11.3 points per game, with a .418 three-point percentage. She started in all 28 games she played in.

Prior to joining Catholic for the 2023-24 season, Flaherty played two seasons at Holy Cross. At Saratoga Springs High School, she scored 1,400 career points and was a four-time Suburban Conference All-Star.

She is currently earning her master’s degree in World Politics, after getting a bachelor’s in International Relations.
