Stanford’s women’s lacrosse coach Amy Bokker is doing a little California dreaming with her first recruiting class.
Encinitas’ Jacqueline Candelaria will become just the fifth player from California to join the Cardinal as she was one of seven players to sign letters of intent it was announced Wednesday.
Since 2000, there have been only four Californians to play the East Coast-dominated sport at Stanford, and only one – Kim Cahill of Stockton (2000-2004) – has been a prominent player.
Candelaria joins Elizabeth Adam (Severna Park, Md.), Carolyn Bradley (Short Hills, N.J.), Amanda Hechinger (Washington, D.C.), Jennifer Lang (Morristown, N.J.), Kathryn Newhouse (Alexandria, Va.), and Ryan O’Shea (McLean, Va.).
“Overall, what was most important for us was trying to get people that would fit in well with what we’re doing and with the girls on the team,” Bokker said. “And they all are a great fit.”
