"Heavily recruited my daughter, got her to commit and pass up other offers and then she was cut a week before school started. Too late to even register at other schools. He has done this to multiple girls and it is a truly terrible thing to do to any athlete and speaks to who he is as a person. She was so grateful to have been cut because the girls he did coach all said nothing but horrible things."

"Coach Bolton has been nothing but great as a coach and is a wonderful person. He seems overly positive and optimistic when he talks about his team in interviews and seems motivated with how they are progressing. It is clear he really cares for his players, and as a parent of one I know this to be true. It’s also clear he spends a lot of time on giving back to our Fresno community. Our family has followed Fresno State Women’s Soccer for many years and we used to never hear or see anything about the team or program. Only knew how they were doing by checking scores or going to the games. But now our community is excited to support this team because the players and coaches are all around our town. They put on fun camps for kids and events for people to get involved with. I know that Coach Bolton is available to his players and checks in on them regularly. He is tough and expects hard work just as every D1 coach does. He has created a fun atmosphere on game days where our local club teams get to be a part of the action. My entire family loves to come out and watch home games now. It’s very obvious that Coach Bolton is working hard to build something special here at Fresno State. Great experience. Thank you Coach Bolton and your great staff. Excited to what the future holds for this program. Go Bulldogs."

"horrible experience, he does not know what he’s doing at all. please do not consider your child playing here it will be the worst experience they ever have. Team culture is extremely toxic and none of the staff care to fix it ."

"I feel like, in good conscience, I have to write this review. Please consider all of your options carefully before having your daughter commit to this school. Don't let the social media posts and recruitment visits fool you about the atmosphere. In my experience, much of it is for show. I know there are other players who would like to speak up but obviously feel they can't because they are concerned about retaliation. I can't wait for my daughter to transfer schools, have a new experience, and start fresh next semester. I would love to go into more detail, but soccer is a small world and my daughter just wants to move on. All I can say is that, from what I have witnessed, this coach seems far more concerned about maintaining his position as a Division I head coach than he is about the well-being of all of his players. There is a small group of players he seems to care very much about and with whose families he has developed close relationships. If your daughter isn't part of that group, I would be concerned. The level of toxicity I have witnessed is astonishing, especially at a time when NCAA athletics talks so much about the mental well-being of student-athletes. I also have serious concerns about the way physical injuries and rehabilitation are handled and the pressure players can feel surrounding their recovery. Unfortunately, don't assume the assistant coaches will necessarily be able to help. Communication within the coaching staff regarding individual players and what they are experiencing has also been concerning. My daughter is looking forward to starting fresh. I also wouldn't automatically accept the explanation that players who leave this program were simply cut or weren't capable of playing at this level. There have been a lot of departures in the relatively short time this coach has been here. I genuinely wish I didn't feel compelled to write this. If your daughter is considering this program, ask difficult questions and, if possible, speak privately with former players and their parents rather than relying only on the people presented to you during recruiting. I wish we had."

"Ugly and we lost to a juco..."

"Liar, untrustworthy, deceitful, two-faced...all describe Coach Morgan. She embodies everything that is wrong with College softball. For some reason, colleges tend to hire these narcissistic, lying coaches, and it reflects so poorly on the college. Coach Morgan has only had 1 winning season as a head coach, yet she's touted as a great coach that develops players, but has had multiple losing seasons with over half a decade of coaching. While at CSUN, she ended her career under .500 (basically, a losing record). This year as the head coach of Fresno State, is no exception (23-24). She doesn't know how to communicate with her players, and at the same time she'll lie to the media, parents, and athletic staff that she treats everyone like "family". It's been long rumored that once you get on her bad side, you're done, and there's no coming back. The girls on the team know that if she stops talking to you, she doesn't see you as having any value to her. Everyone already knows that she's been on the hot seat at Fresno State early into her first season as head coach. There's a lot of contention between her and the alumni group, and the Red Wave fanbase is extremely upset with her, for good reason. If she's anything like what she was at CSUN, she's coming to destroy Fresno State's program. Just the sound of her name coming to Fresno State as head coach made a large group of girls transfer out, who were previously part of a winning team. If you sat in the stadium during any home game, you would easily pick up on all the negative comments about her. Also, during one of the away games, the sports commentators referred to the team as the "Bad News Bears". She's only won 2 of the series in the Mountain West league and has somehow been able to keep her job. I thought she was coming in to "re-load" and not "re-build"? After this season, she's going to have to re-build because between the seniors and transfers, there will be a lot of openings. Any parent out there who is considering sending their daughter to play for Coach Morgan and her staff, I compel you to do your research fully. She comes off as being a loving, concerning coach who wants to develop her players to get the most out of them, but that couldn't be further from the truth. She should not be a coach or mentor to young female athletes and I would highly recommend that she has a psychological evaluation. I would be interested to see the results. To the Athletic Director at Fresno State, it's never to late to right a wrong, especially as you head into the Pac-12. I'm sure you made a decision to hire her based on her experience as a player at Alabama, but as a coach she is terrible. Now you're probably seeing why CSUN wouldn't renew her contract. I know some of you who are reading this are thinking "oh, just another disgruntled post", but don't take my word for it. Do your own research and you can easily find out the truth. "

"Horrible human. Disregards compliance regulations, doesn't travel with the team, frequently overlooks the need to feed players, refuses to provide per diems. Hires inexperienced assistant coaches and doesn't take feedback well."

"Lesia is a very intense but amazing Coach! She truly loves and will do anything for her players. She is vocal and direct which can deter some but is helpful in knowing what you need to do. She has frequent one on one player meetings which really helps you connect and get closer to Leisa. She wears her emotions on her sleeve which shows everyday how much she cares and loves for all her players! A true competitor at heart who wants to win"

"I used to play at Fresno State for her and she was extremely hard to open up to. We have individual meetings every week and it causes everyone anxiety. She is a little hypocritical and some of the things she says I have never heard a coach say to any players. A lot of people decided to transfer out and when they did not only her but the rest of the coaching staff was no help at all for the players after making it clear they would help them along the process. "

"Great coach, not scared to let the offense run aggressively. Can’t wait to watch him work with Bama in the SEC. Deserves it, big time. Great at making sure we were good with academics, while also being a great hype man for everyone."

"Two sided coach. Decent recruiting coordinator but he is one way on certain days and totally different on others."

"Coach Gabe is a very funny and easy going guy. He gets along with the team really well and is serous when needs to be. "

"Cares about the team advancing but not individuals personally. Only interested in numbers, not willing to negotiate beyond their beliefs and ways. "

"Really great guy who knows a lot about the game. Could be a little better at communicating "
