Walker is one of the most accomplished players in Pitt women's basketball history. Playing at center, she finished as the program's all-time leading rebounder (1,162) and sixth all-time scorer (1,870 points), averaging 15.0 points and 9.3 rebounds for her career. She is one of only two Pitt women's players to reach both the 1,000-point and 1,000-rebound plateau, joining 2025 Hall of Fame inductee Wanda Randolph. A three-time All-Big East selection (2006-08), including two first-team nods, Walker is one of only five players in program history to earn multiple first-team all-conference accolades. She was also named to the Big East All-Rookie Team in 2005. Walker helped guide Pitt to three postseason appearances: the 2006 WNIT Final Four, the 2007 NCAA Tournament and the 2008 NCAA Tournament's Sweet 16. After playing professionally with the WNBA's Houston Comets, she embarked on a decade-long career overseas and capped her playing career as a 2024 Olympian in 3-on-3 basketball, representing Azerbaijan. Her name is inscribed on the Varsity Walk as a recipient of the Panther Award.
