"Manipulative Overly Controlling Passive Aggressive Dishonest Thrives on breaking down athletes A Truly Impressive Ability to not Recognize and/or Reward New Talent vs Status Quo/Current Roster, Consistently Mutes Creativity (at both ends of the field) in order to ensure the "system" is followed - regardless of results of said "system" 0/10 - Would never recommend to anyone. "

"A primary indicator of a program’s health, culture, and ultimate effectiveness is how many players leave and why. The HPU women’s lacrosse team is losing 20 players this year. All but 3 players in the sophomore class are leaving and 10 out of 15 in the freshman class have either been cut, are leaving because their scholarships were taken, or are choosing to transfer because they are unhappy. Coach Boswell’s coaching style is an unfortunate combination of desperation (with a singular focus on winning the Big South Championship), and intimidation. That combined with her ignorance of proper nutrition for athletes, and rejection of proper training and recovery parameters set by the NCAA put players’ mental and physical health at risk. I implore anyone who is considering sending their daughter to High Point to run in the opposite direction. I wish we were alerted to the toxic atmosphere and instability of the program before committing. "

"This coach creates a highly controlling and unhealthy team environment. There are consistent concerns about manipulative behavior and a lack of honesty with players, particularly during the recruiting process. Players have reported being told their scholarships were secure, only to later have financial aid reduced or taken away—often due to injury or subjective evaluations of performance. The coach is also known to overstep personal boundaries by monitoring players’ screen time and closely tracking their social media activity. This level of surveillance feels invasive and contributes to a culture of discomfort and mistrust within the team. Additionally, there are serious concerns regarding player welfare. Reports indicate that athletes have been placed on restrictive diets, raising questions about the promotion of unhealthy habits. Injured players, in particular, appear to receive little to no support. Instead of being cared for during recovery, some have been cut from the team or penalized, with minimal communication or concern for their well-being. If you're injured, you might as well just be on your own. There are also concerns about how former players are treated. Individuals who leave the program are often spoken about negatively, which can create a divisive and uncomfortable team culture. For example, during a game against a team with a former player, the coach questioned whether current players should even be friends with that individual. Behavior like this discourages healthy relationships and fosters unnecessary tension. More broadly, the coach appears to foster division within the team by turning players against each other, which undermines trust, damages team chemistry, and creates a toxic environment rather than a supportive one. Overall, this coaching approach lacks transparency, support, and respect for athletes, making it a negative experience for many involved. I would never send my daughter there.. and if yours is committed, find other options asap."

"Coach Boswell was a great coach. She know what the end goal was and didn't stand for anything that would deter the team from achieving that goal."
