It was a big day for the Foothill girls water polo program as all seven players signed national letters of intent.

The players who signed were:

Celeste Wijnbelt, utility, Stanford; Julia Janov, attacker, USC; Malia Allen, left-handed utility/attacker, UCLA; Mallory Reynoso, defender, Cal; Michaela Strickland, attacker, UC Irvine; Morgan Rios, center, Hawaii; and Paige Goemer, left-handed attacker, San Diego State.
