Personal
Born in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, and raised in Hershey, Pennsylvania.
Daughter of Daniel and Patricia Serfass.
Athletics are a family tradition. Her twin brother, Caleb, swims at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. Her sister, Amanda Chase, played Division I soccer at the U.S. Naval Academy, while her brother, Matt Baatz, played football at Ursinus College. Her father, Daniel, played rugby at the U.S. Naval Academy and served as a team co-captain.
Serfass is pursuing degrees in marine, estuarine and freshwater biology and sustainability. She hopes to become a shark biologist and contribute to research and conservation efforts that protect shark populations and ocean ecosystems.
During the summer of 2026, she served as UNH Athletics' Sustainable Fan Experience & Engagement Fellow, assessing fan attitudes and behaviors related to sustainability initiatives and helping develop recommendations to enhance sustainable practices at athletic events.
Outside the pool, she enjoys traveling, reading, attending country music concerts, exploring local coffee shops, thrifting and following the Philadelphia Phillies.
Why UNH?
"What I like most about UNH is the many opportunities it provides both inside and outside the classroom. My majors in marine biology and sustainability have given me hands-on learning and real-world experience, while the university's sustainability initiatives have allowed me to get involved in meaningful work. I also love the sense of community within UNH Athletics and the support I receive from teammates, coaches, professors and the broader UNH community."
Fun Fact
Because her father served in the Navy, Serfass lived in five countries growing up: the United States, Italy, Spain, England and Germany. She learned Italian, Spanish and German while living overseas, joined her first swim team in Spain and even competed in the pool used for the 2012 London Olympics.
