STANFORD, Calif. - First year head coach Danielle Spencer and her staff have announced the signing of eight to National Letters of Intent for the Class of 2024 of Stanford women's lacrosse.
Stanford's eight-woman class features a heavy dose of East Coast flair, including three from New York, two from New Jersey, two from Connecticut and one from Maryland. The incoming Cardinal include a mix of every position on the field, specifically three midfielders, two attackers, two defenders and a goalkeeper.
"I am proud to welcome this class to campus in the fall of 2020," said Spencer. "This is a highly skilled and athletic class, hungry to compete at the highest level. I expect that this class will make a strong impact right away to both our style of play on the field and our team culture off the field.
"I hope to make our Stanford community, specifically our Women's Lacrosse alumnae base, proud through the impact of this '24 class in all facets of their time on campus."
