| 4/30/2025 | Women’s Basketball BOCA RATON, Fla. – Florida Atlantic women’s basketball Head Coach LeAnn Freeland announced the signing of transfer guard Haley Walker from DePaul on Wednesday.”Haley is an athletic guard with good size. Due to her speed and strength, she will be hard to contain in our system.” Coach Freeland expressed. Walker, a native of Burlington, Vermont, joins the Owls after three seasons with the DePaul Blue Devils. “Since we are putting a big emphasis on forcing turnovers and transition, we anticipate her scoring at the rim early in the shot clock,” said Coach Freeland. “In the half court, our motion offense will enable her to take advantage of mismatches on the perimeter and on the block. Because of her gritty style of play and overall experience in the Big East, we expect her to have an immediate impact.
