California Golden Bears Athletics

Fourth-year head coach Brooke Eubanks recently announced the signing of nine recruits to National Letters of Intent. The future Golden Bears will join the program next fall.
 
"We are excited to officially welcome the class of 2022 to the Cal lacrosse family," Eubanks said. "They are a well-balanced class that will bring an immediate impact to the team, classroom and field. This is a great group of young women, and we are proud they chose to be a Bear."
 
The class features future Bears from coast to coast as three signees currently reside in California, four are from the East Coast, one is from Ohio and one is from Illinois.
 
The three signees from Southern California are Kaia Evans (San Diego), Quinn Mason (Aliso Viejo) and Bailee Monjazeb (San Diego).
