LYNDEN, Wash. --- Head Coach
Dr. Bethany Miller's 2015 recruiting class continues to be completely filled by out-of-state talent with the addition of Makayla Lancaster from Lynden, Washington.
Â
Lancaster spent her high school career competing with fellow incoming freshman signee Sara Dougan at Lynden Christian High School. The duo led the Lyncs to four top-4 finishes in the Washington State 1A tournament. This included a first place finish during their junior season.
Â
"As soon as I saw Makayla play, I knew I wanted her to be in our program," said Miller. " She is a fearless defender, smart on the court, and coachable. She is a great addition to Biola in her commitment to growth, good work in the classroom, and she has the intangibles that will make her successful on the court."
Â
Lancaster is a 5-foot-6 inch point guard that earned the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association scholastic award all four seasons and made her school's honor roll in three of her four years with the Lyncs.
Â
As a sophomore she earned all-conference second team and was an all-county selection. During her last two seasons she was named all-league honorable mention.
Â
"I really wanted to come to Biola because I knew it was a Christian school, had heard great things about it and I wanted to be able to display my faith through the sport I love," said Lancaster. "I am most looking forward to meeting new people, growing my faith and growing into my own person."
Â
Lancaster begins classes at Biola in fall of 2015, and she can be seen on the court inside Chase Gym beginning in November.Â
