Hansen signs with UCSD

Will play water polo for Tritons|

Sonoman Elizabeth Hansen, a student at Justin-Siena, Class of 2018, signed her National Letter of Intent Tuesday to play NCAA water polo at UC San Diego.

Teammate Rebecca Reynolds signed to play with UC Davis.

Hansen grew up in Sonoma and attended the Sonoma Charter School. She started playing water polo in eighth grade for Joey Gullikson – a Sonoma Valley High grad and current assistant coach at UOP – at Bangarang water polo in Napa. She also played for Napa Premier water polo after Gullikson left to coach at UOP, but has played the last two years for Davis Water Polo Club.

Last summer Davis’ 18-U team placed 14th in the Nation at Junior Olympics.

Hansen is excited to play water polo at UCSD like her mom, Jane Hansen, Class of 1993.
