Hurley follows new VU Head Coach Nicole Thomas over from Mater Dei to Vanguard to become the lead assistant coach. The Monarchs finished second in the Trinity League in 2025 and MDHS got as high as 26th in the state rankings. The 2024 squad made the semifinals of the CIF Tournament in addition to qualifying for the first round of the state tournament.
As a player, Hurley hit .340 in three seasons at Pomona-Pitzer, though her totals could have been higher if COVID had not wiped out the 2021 season. Hurley had 67 hits in 197 at-bats, with five home runs, 16 doubles, and 47 RBI. All of her 2022 offensive totals except batting average were career-highs, and she started in every game that season, concluding the campaign with a Second Team All-SCIAC selection.
After her time as a player, Hurley moved to Connecticut for two years for a graduate program at Wesleyan University in Middletown. There, she coached the WU team and local travel ball teams while getting her master's in liberal studies. Returning to California, Hurley joined Coach Thomas at Mater Dei High School and then at SoCal Sting, a travel ball organization started by Thomas and Maddy Grimm, where she had responsibilities with the U18-U10 levels.
