Walton holds the school record for career assists (46) and ranks fifth in career points (108). He is also second in single-season points (48 - 1992), fourth in single-season assists (14 - 1992, 1994), seventh in single-season goals (17 - 1992) and 10th in career goals (31). As a sophomore, Walton finished 15th in the country in scoring.
