STANFORD, Calif. - Stanford softball grew stronger with the commitment of five future Cardinal, who signed National Letters of Intent Wednesday.
Stanford will welcome to The Farm Taylor Gindlesperger, Emily Klingaman, Molly Millar, Emily Schultz and Emily Young.
On the class head coach Jessica Allister stated, "As we began to put together this class, our goal was to identify and sign talented, driven student-athletes that have the potential to thrive in the classroom and on the field at Stanford, and that have the desire to push themselves to become the best students and softball players that they can be. I believe we have accomplished that goal with this class."
"This class features a lot of speed, athleticism, and versatility," continued Allister, "Each position player has the ability to contribute at more than one defensive position which will be a huge asset as we look to put our best nine out on the field. Most importantly, each of these student-athletes wants to compete at the highest level, and shares our vision and our goals for the Stanford softball program."
