COACH GALLIMORE ON WALKER
“Lisa Walker is technically a very good goalkeeper. The thing that she has had to improve upon from her freshman year to now is her goalkeeping fitness and her work rate. We made headway on that in the spring. She is definitely capable of making saves and has a decent tactical understanding of the game. Her big deal has been upping her level from club to college.”
