"Coach T knows how to push players to be their best. She puts our team in the best position to compete. She doesn't play favorites, she wants to win, I want to win and if that means players who aren’t ready yet don’t get minutes- that’s fine. She creates a good team culture because it’s not about individual players, it’s about how we all come together to compete as a team. She won’t be a good coaching fit if you constantly make excuses. This is D1. She is an awesome coach if you want to improve your game play and IQ. She’s an excellent coach if you want to build a winning team culture. Reading the comments on here just sucks especially for a someone like Coach T who has done so much for us over the last two years. And trying to attack her character anonymously online is unfair and embarrassing to the program. What sucks the most is we’re still talking about this 3 months later. I’m just excited for the fall and to get back on the field representing ODU Lacrosse in a positive way. Let’s be real the only reason people come on here is to complain. "

"My daughter was coached by Coach Walton who helped develop her to be a to player who still holds records today. She is a two time all American and conference defensive player of the year every year she played. After my daughter completed her undergraduate degree Covid allowed her to continue an extra year.. Coach Walton continued to follow her and gave her the confidence to play and win a national championship, getting on the all tournament team. She then started a program that won the regular season championship. When an opportunity arose for her to coach in a more competitive conference she accepted that opportunity. It must have been difficult for her to make the decision to leave the program she started to tackle a problem that existed with unknown team dynamics and losing culture. I was impressed after she had a losing record she chose a more difficult schedule to help the team be more competitive in their conference. I can’t wait to see impacts the program with her recruits that are committed to the demand of division one lacrosse. I can’t wait to watch her next season! "
