The California lacrosse team will welcome 10 freshmen to the 2025 squad, a group that combined to earn eight All-America prep selections, nine All-State honors and helped their teams capture five state titles.

The freshman group includes Audrey Crafts, Willow Cyr, Naomi Gan, Ardyn Henry, Alina Hsu, Charlie Iacobelli, Ashleigh Masterson, Ella Thomsen, Dahlen Vilbrandt and Isabella Wenstrand.

 "Each of these student-athletes not only embodies the physical attributes we seek, but also demonstrates the dedication and work ethic that will elevate our program to new heights," head coach Jennifer Wong said. "As we approach our inaugural season in the ACC, these 10 individuals bring a new wave of energy and excitement. We are committed to fostering their development both on and off the field and believe they will significantly contribute to our program's growth and competitiveness."

Cal's fall ball season starts in September when the Bears begin preparations for the 2025 campaign that gets underway next February.
