"While Elon's facilities were clean and functional, I was not particularly impressed by them. Given that Elon has football and a strong athletic department, I expected the lacrosse facilities to feel more expansive and specialized. Overall, the facilities seemed adequate for supporting the program but did not stand out compared to other Division I lacrosse programs I have visited"
"Neil is very much a father and family guy and that shows through the way he cares about each of his players. He looks out for everyone while fostering a competitive environment and encouraging the team to keep striving for more. He preaches standards often, holding everyone accountable for maintaining them. Passing the fitness test is a primary standard that he takes very seriously. He also sets clear principles related to work ethic and style of play that he expects everyone to buy into. He clearly understands the game well, and following his principles has brought the program lots of success. Overall, Neil is a great guy and quality soccer coach. "
"Coach Payne is a huge reason why I was able to move soccer again. He believes in his players and is willing to see their potential. He can be direct at times but ultimately is grounded in a passion for the game and wants what’s best for his players. He is a true respectable coach and I could not recommend him more. "
"Despite an outward charm and kindness, as a coach he sought out to tear down the team and turn players against each other. Additionally he made several extremely racist remarks and lacked any accountability for his actions. He was inappropriate with players that he deemed his favorites - drinking with them, not holding them to the same rules as other players and blatantly showing his favoritism (especially for players whose parents got him extra benefits). He was often disrespectful to his own staff as well in front of players. Overall, he was extremely inconsistent and emotionally abusive. "
"Horrible experience playing here at Elon even as a star player. How Hexter has kept his job as a male who cannot connect with his players is beyond me. He is not receptive to feedback and flies through assistant coaches, who are very forthcoming about his lack of support. This type of “leader” should be not allowed to coach women "
