Walk registered five points via two goals, including a game-winner, and an assist in a 1-0-1 GNAC week for the Blue Jays en route to picking up her first career GNAC Rookie of the Week honor. After USJ and Albertus Magnus played to a scoreless draw on Wednesday night in New Haven, Walk exploded for a career-high five-point match on Saturday at home versus Anna Maria. Walk was involved in three of the Blue Jays' five goals on the afternoon. The Newington product logged her first goal of the match in the ninth minute for what would stand as the game-winning goal before assisting on a goal in the 12th minute and then adding her second marker in the 19th minute, as USJ used a big first half to secure a 5-1 victory over the AMCATS.

After the big five-point outing, Walk is now third on the team in total points with 12 through the first 13 matches of the 2022 campaign. She currently ranks second on the team with five goals and is tied for fourth with a pair of assists.
