RICHMOND, Va. – The University of Richmond women's basketball head coach Aaron Roussell has announced the addition of Kate Walker as the new graduate assistant.
"Our Program got a lot better today; Kate has been a winner with every organization she has ever been a part of and that is not by coincidence," Roussell said. "I am incredibly excited to add Kate Walker to our staff for so many reasons. First, as her college coach I am thrilled to see her in the coaching world – she has a bright future in this business. Second, our current players and staff are going to see how much of a valuable resource she will be to our future successes. Lastly, personally I am so happy that my family and I get to be around her again. Kate is an incredible role model for my own kids, as well as for our student-athletes."

Walker was a four-year standout at Bucknell and became a two-time All-Patriot League member (First Team in 2018, Second Team in 2019). Walker was a team captain and two-time Patriot League All-Tournament Team selection (2018, 2019). She graduated 19th in program history with 1,130 points, seventh in 3-point field goals (124) and seventh in 3-point field goal attempts (352).
