In 2015, Erin moved to Xaverian to teach both Living Environment and Physical Education and was given the opportunity to build the first Clippers’ girls' soccer and lacrosse programs.

In their first year of competition, the 2016 Xaverian JV Girls Soccer Team won the first JV girls title in Xaverian history, followed by varsity championships in 2019, 2020, and 2021, making appearances in the CHSAA State Championship Final in 2017 and 2019. The Xaverian Girls Soccer program has played in city championship games in six of its seven years of existence, with over 25 All-League player selections and 3 All-State selections.

In addition to coaching the Varsity Girls' Lacrosse Team, Erin also coaches the JV Girls' Lacrosse Team.  In 2022, the CHSAA started its first JV Girls Lacrosse League, where JV teams were finally given the opportunity to compete for a city championship.  The Clippers won the inaugural CHSAA JV Girls Lacrosse City Championships, upholding the championship tradition started by the varsity program. 

“To be trusted to start two sports programs at Xaverian has been an honor and a responsibility that I do not take lightly.  It has been an absolute privilege to work with these talented student-athletes day in and day out, and I look forward to keeping the Xaverian tradition of excellence alive for many years to come,” said Coach Erin Meagher.
