The 2008 season was marked by a couple of highlights for Keshock. On Sept. 3, 2008, Keshock reached a coaching milestone, picking up the 100th win of her career with a 3-0 victory over cross-town rival Spring Hill. She also guided the Jaguars to their first Sun Belt Conference tournament appearance in eight years that same season where they nearly pulled off the upset before falling 3-1 to top-seeded and tournament host Florida International.
Prior to taking the helm at USA, Keshock started the Division II volleyball program at the University of West Florida. Along with being head volleyball coach for three seasons at UWF, she also served as the Senior Woman Administrator and began the West Florida Storm Club Volleyball Program.

From 1996-98, she was the head volleyball coach at the University of Findlay (Ohio). She also served as an assistant track coach and taught physical education for the Division III program. Prior to accepting the UWF position, Keshock was an assistant volleyball coach at Eastern Michigan in 1998-99.
A four-year volleyball letterwinner at Bowling Green State University (1990-93), Keshock led the Falcons to a pair of Mid-American Conference Championships and a berth to the 1991 NCAA Tournament.
