"Sonia Curvelo is not a players coach. Her main drive is winning a conference title but she has a difficult time inspiring or developing her team. She'll pit players against each other to try and get a desired result out of one person at the expense of another. Like most coaches, she has her favorites and does not put her best 11 on the field. Her skilled players are often on the sidelines in favor of speed - even if the speedy players don't have a good first touch or keep the ball inbounds. Her assistant coaches do not have a say in anything so don't be fooled if she has a nice or personable one charm you. If you go on a visit, just go with your gut. She is not a caring or respectful person so if that is what you need in a coach, her program is probably not the one for you. "

"Not sure why the AD continues to roll her out there as head coach. Tammy Lohmann is horrific and her win % tells the story. opened up with some cupcakes this weekend only to go 0-5. This isn't oklahoma! it's frickn' Utah Valley and Idaho St.!! The alumni aren't happy with the direction of the program."

"Coach Letty is one of the best coaches that I have had, she is very understanding of any situation that you are going through. She will always be honest about softball, academics, personal life, or anything else you come to her with. I believe that she prides herself on being the type of coach that every player needs. She will be hard on you when you need it while also being the shoulder to lean on when that time comes. She is not afraid to speak her mind and let you know what is happening. She is very organized, respectful, and true to herself and her players. "

"True players coach, and a great leader, turns nothing in to something every single season, short story 3 seasons as a pitching coach lost all her pitchers do to injuries and turned a position player into a pitcher that has never thrown and still went to regionals 2 out of 3 times. Now that’s a coach "

"If I could give 0 stars I would. She is disrespectful towards players. She doesn’t care about their education. She is clearly bipolar. She will say you are the best one minute and tell you how terrible you are the next minute. She is very toxic and could care less about the players’ mental health. She will never have a winning season at SHSU because she doesn’t know what it takes to win. She doesn’t put her best 11 on the field. Her playing style is worse than high school. Absolute embarrassment to Sam Houston. Her minions…aka coaches…are just as bad as she is. Please don’t let your daughter play for her. This woman is very detrimental to athletes. "

I won 4 Championships under her and the culture of the program is very welcoming and supportive and everyone is accountable and understands their role. Players can be themselves and she fosters a positive environment for all players. It’s an inclusive program that I am proud to be part of. "

"Incapable of caring, motivating, and understanding her own players or doing anything that doesn’t concern her own success and recognition. Only values favoritism and is not direct when asked for advice unless she’s publicly embarrassing you. Driven out by her old team at Cleveland State and incapable of beating a D1 team outside of The SWAC."
