"I am excited for the opportunity to work with Marshall swimming in the role of leadership coach," Song said. "I have observed Coach Walsh in various settings going back to 2010. Throughout this time, I've been consistently impressed by his ability to develop and connect with his student athletes in and out of the pool. There is no doubt, the Marshall swim team is on a positive trajectory and I look forward to being a part of the journey."

"I am thrilled to have Erin join our staff in a volunteer and leadership coach capacity," Walsh said about adding Song to the staff. "We crossed paths many years ago and her experiences and background will be a huge asset to our program. Megan, James and I look forward to having her join our program during this pivotal time and assist us in helping this program reach that next level."

Song has earned degrees from Indiana University of Pennsylvania (BS, Psychology), West Virginia University (MS, Coaching Education) and Bloomsburg University (MS School Counseling). Erin swam and played lacrosse collegiately.
