Jonny Walker BIO
41
Memphis native and longtime professional goalkeeping star Jonny Walker joined Monaghan's staff in 2009. Walker brings with him more than a decade of record-setting professional experience, including becoming the first American soccer player to establish a successful career in South America (Chile) and completing two different stints in Major League Soccer (MLS).
Walker has helped the U of M goalkeepers to two-straight sub-1.00 goals-against average seasons. Prior to Walker's tenure with the goalkeepers, Memphis had just two sub-1.00 average seasons in 14 seasons. Helped by a tenacious back line defense, the goalkeepers combined for a school- record 12 shutouts in 2009 and Elise Kuhar-Pitters set the individual shutout record at 11. The Lady Tigers also posted the second-best goals-against average in program history at 0.87, but the 2010 season saw the Lady Tigers post a 0.84 goals-against average. Kuhar-Pitters also became the first Lady Tiger netminder honored as a National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) All-Central Team selection.
