"Should not be a head coach. Has zero knowledge of the game of softball (defense, offense, pitching, coaching). Is a pitching coach, AT BEST, however does not provide useful instruction, advice, or motivation for pitching staff... so can you even call her a coach? Desire/motivation to go to work= Nonexistent. Does not even coach third base in games... Puts on a front so that she does not lose her job... Lets the other coaches do her job for her... If you like a coach who literally does not give any advice... Terrible leader and communicator"

"I got closer and grew more respect for her as my time went on at DePaul. Erin is intense and cares a lot about fitness. When you are a committed player, show that you work hard, respect the team/coaches and program, it is definitely recognized & she reciprocates the respect you give. I really enjoyed my time playing here & loved the team culture. "

"Erin truly wants to get the best she can out of her players, even if at times it might seem tough. She values being fit which means lots of running but it also pays off in the end. She’s also careful in who she picks character wise, to ensure that the team can work really well together."

"As you get older, you develop a stronger bond and relationship. If she is hard on you, it's bevause she cares and sees potential in you. Expects hard work, high fitness levels, and strong mental toughness. Her tone can be unmotivating at times, but just wants you to perform at your best. I personally had a great relationship and time with her. "

"I absolutely loved her as coach. Takes a bit getting used to her awkward moments but once you establish a relationship it's really fun. Not only does she care about soccer but also connects on a personal and academic level. Wants the highest achievement on the field and in the classroom. She is blunt and honest which is something I admired greatly!"

"Good- as a person she is relatable \ Bad- can't quite figure out the logic behind her coaching style. You must be a self driven player to be in her program as you'll have to motivate and drive yourself because there isn't much coming from the coaching staff."
