CALIFORNIA DREAMIN’
U.S. U19 training team member Jackie Gilbert could be first from Golden State to play for Team USA BY LANE ERRINGTON
Jackie Gilbert takes her West Coast pride seriously. Gilbert, an 18-year-old high school senior, wants to become the first California native to play for the U.S. women’s national team at any level. A midfielder and draw specialist at Amador Valley High, she led the Dons — who finished the 2014 season No. 1 in the Nike/US Lacrosse West Region Top 10 — in nearly every statistical category. But while her 135 points were third best in the state, it was Gilbert’s athleticism and defensive prowess that drew attention from the U.S. U19 coaching staff. “We need players with versatility,” Team USA coach Kim Simons said. “Midfielders like Jackie don’t automatically stop and pass it to the attack. They lead the break.”
