This is a great read.

One of the best coaches all time at BGSU, IMO. Coach's record speaks for itself and this year the Vball team is taking the MAC Title and beyond!!

GO VOLLEYBALL!!!

very good read

She should be lauded just as much for her amazing loyalty to BG. She's been here 25 frickin' years! Thats approaching JoPa status for us. I believe we've had no coach in any sport be here that long that I know of. Maybe..................shoosh.....keep quiet now, just maybe she'll infect Curt Miller.

Coach V is a treasure for our alma mater, not only for the incredible success she's brought to the court, but for outstanding commitment to mentoring her student-athletes to excel academically and develop into leaders as well. She is the epitome of what a coach should strive to be.

Well said, 87. I finally got a chance to meet Coach Van De Walle at the Cleveland Tour stop and she is not only a great coach and class act, but a very nice lady as well. It's easy to root for people like her to succeed.

GO FALCONS

I know of at least one coach on campus that could take a lesson or two from her. Maybe more than one, for that matter.

I have no doubt about that!
