The second half saw UCD really pull clear, with Kerrigan scoring himself while Yoyo Mahdy and Colm Whelan netted two apiece.
Meanwhile, Drogheda were unable to put daylight between them and Longford Town as they headed back east with a 1-1 draw.
Rob Manley struck early for Town and the Drogs were kept at bay until after half-time when Jordan Adeyemo levelled the contest.
The result leaves Drogheda two points adrift of leaders Bray and just the one point ahead of UCD and Longford.

The Connacht club took an early lead through Lynsey McKey, but were pegged back before the half-hour mark by Aine O’Gorman.
In difficult windy conditions, Peamount took the decisive lead before the interval thanks to Duggan’s 30-yard blast and held the advantage.
Today’s other WNL game saw Bohemians claim their first point of the season thanks to a 0-0 draw with DLR Waves.
