As an assistant in 2009, she helped guide the Rams to their first-ever Skyline Conference Championship, defeating Montclair State, 16-13, to earn a spot in the NCAA Tournament.


In her first season as the head coach, Calkins led the team to the Skyline Championship game, but fell to Montclair State.

In both 2014 & 2017, she led the Rams to a program-best 18 wins and Skyline Conference Championship victories over St. Joseph's-LI. Calkins earned an NCAA Tournament victory over Endicott, 16-14, in 2017. Coach Calkins led FSC to a perfect 8-0 season in 2021 and a Skyline Conference Championship.


Calkins was a two sport student-athlete (basketball, lacrosse) at Eastern Connecticut State University. As a freshman, she was honored by IWCLA/US Lacrosse as a Second Team All-New England selection and was named Conference Rookie of the Year. Calkins led Eastern Connecticut to the second round of the NCAA Tournament in 2005, setting ECSU single-season records for games played, starts, minutes and saves. She also recorded the second-best win total and save percentage in school history.


Her junior year, Calkins was named the ECAC Goaltender of the Year while also earning All-Conference and All-New England honors. She was named All-Conference and ECAC All-New England honoree as a senior.


Calkins earned her Bachelor's degree in Sport and Leisure Management at Eastern Connecticut ('07) and a Master's Degree in Liberal Studies from Stony Brook University.
