"Coach Brian Daley was my coach for two years, and during that time he had a huge impact on me both as a player and as a person. He always supported his players and did everything he could to help us succeed, not only on the field but also in our lives outside of softball. He genuinely cared about each player and was always willing to listen, give advice, and help whenever someone needed it. His coaching style was demanding in the best way he pushed us to work hard, stay accountable, and be the best versions of ourselves while also creating an environment where we felt supported and respected. He expected a lot from us because he believed in our potential, and that motivated us to keep improving. I am incredibly grateful to have had him as my coach. He is the best collegiate coach I have ever had, and the lessons, support, and confidence he gave me will stay with me long after my softball career. I will always be thankful for everything he did for me and my teammates."

"Coach Foss has always been there for our son. To make a long story shorter, our son transfered to CUI his sophomore year. Stayed for a month, transfered out, and in the end went back to CUI. (A 19 year old boy's mind is all over) Coach Foss was not happy about this "I'm in, I'm out", but he accepted our son, supported him and pushed him to earn his spot and scholarship. Coach Foss is definitly a "FIRM" coach, but he is FAIR!! He holds his athletes accoutable. As a High School coah, honestly I feel that is what atheletes need. I know our son needed that. Too many athletes try and cruise by without putting in the work. Coach Foss pushed these boys physically and mentally to become young men! I feel he has helped support and instill great qualities in our son to be a successful adult in society. Which is our goal as parents. "

"Much of the sophomore class is leaving. Some because they don't want to play lacrosse any longer, some because they want to play at a lower level, be at a bigger school, be closer to home. Some are leaving because they weren't getting the playing time they thought they deserved (or their parents thought they deserved). HPU has one of the best dining plans in the country and athletes take full advantage. Yes, she encourages healthy eating, more protein, less crap. When recruited, players are told that to keep their scholarship, they have to perform, just like at every other school in the country. And no, I am not a coach. If recruits want the truth, then they should talk to the girls who are on the team, not the quitters' parents. Coach Boswell is direct and she will push these girls to get more out of them when she sees their potential, just like every other division 1 coach. "

"Does not recommend. The environment here is borderline toxic, if not mentally/verbally abusive. Dan is a great speaker and will tell you what you WANT to hear"

"As a parent, I have become increasingly concerned about the direction and culture of this soccer program. One of the most troubling issues is the apparent lack of emphasis on recruiting and developing highly motivated student-athletes. Many players do not seem to demonstrate the level of commitment, discipline, or passion that should be expected in a collegiate athletic environment. Instead, there appears to be a culture where social activities and partying are prioritized over athletic development and team success. I have also heard concerns regarding players violating team rules, including drinking the night before games. I am equally concerned about the leadership within the program. The coach often appears more focused on being friends with players than maintaining the professional boundaries that should exist between coaches and student-athletes. There have been instances where conversations and topics discussed with players seemed inappropriate for a coach-player relationship. Additionally, there have been concerns raised regarding manipulative behavior when disagreements arise or when situations do not go as expected. What is especially disappointing is that, given the coach’s experience and accomplishments, I expected a significantly higher standard of coaching and player development. Instead, I have observed training sessions focused on basic fundamentals such as heading, passing, and trapping—skills that many competitive players typically master long before reaching the collegiate level. Professionalism has also been a concern. The use of profanity around athletic facilities and reports of strained relationships with other members of the institution do not reflect the standard many parents expect from someone leading a college program. There is a perception that accountability for the program’s performance is lacking and that there is little incentive for meaningful improvement. From a soccer perspective, the team’s style of play appears simplistic and underdeveloped. Rather than a structured system that teaches players how to read the game, build possession, and develop tactically, the approach often resembles recreational-level soccer that relies heavily on simply sending the ball forward. As a parent investing significant time, money, and trust into my child’s collegiate experience, I expected an environment that would challenge players, help them grow, and prepare them for success both on and off the field. These concerns are not based on a single incident but rather on a pattern of observations and conversations with other parents, alumni, and individuals familiar with the program. My hope is that these issues are taken seriously and that meaningful changes can be made to better serve the student-athletes who dedicate so much to representing the school. "
