PRINCETON, N.J. (7/7/09) – Princeton head women's lacrosse coach Chris Sailer has announced the recruiting class of seven student-athletes that will join the team as the Class of 2013.

"We are extremely excited to welcome the Class of 2013 to Princeton," Sailer said. "This is an accomplished class filled with players who are accustomed to success on the field. Three have played for state championship teams, four were honored as high school All-Americans this past season, and all seven are the product of excellent high school and club lacrosse programs. Given our significant graduation losses this past year, the opportunity will be there for many of these players to make an immediate impact on the field for us next spring."

"Beyond their lacrosse prowess, we're really excited about this class as a whole; their collective personality, commitment to the game, and enthusiasm for Princeton is obvious. We think they'll take full advantage of all the opportunities presented to them at this great university, and we're looking forward to a fun four years with them ahead."

Sailer and her assistant coaches Michelle DeJuliis and Amy Altig bring in three attackers and four midfielders. They include:

Charlotte Davis – 5-9, Midfield, Alexandria, Va./St. Stephen's & St. Agnes
