The 23-year-old joined the Courage in 2022. She registered seven goals and three assists last season, helping the Courage win the NWSL Challenge Cup. She helped the Courage capture a second Challenge Cup title in September.

Kerolin, known as one of the fastest players in the league, led the NWSL in dribbles completed (67). She scored a league-high nine goals inside the box.
