Emily Buckel is excited to kick off her coaching career for Cal Poly women’s lacrosse

this year! Emily graduated from Cal Poly this past June with a Bachelor’s in Recreation

Management, and wasn’t quite ready to leave San Luis Obispo. She currently works in

Avila Beach and is excited for the opportunity to stay involved with the Cal Poly lacrosse

program as their new head coach this year. Growing up playing sports, she has always

looked forward to the day that she could give back and coach a team of her own.

Born and raised in Davis, CA, Emily started playing lacrosse her sophomore year of high

school at Davis High School, and her love for the sport grew year after year. As a student

at Cal Poly, Emily played lacrosse all four years, and is so thankful for the amazing

opportunity and great memories she had as a member of the team. Emily helped lead

her team as a captain three of her four years playing, and was honored to go to nationals

her freshman year and be a part of the National Championship team in 2007. She

also supported the team as the club Vice President and President her junior and senior

year. Last spring she was named Second-Team All-League for the WWLL, and was

recognized as a member of the All-Tournament Team at the 2010 National Tournament.

Emily is looking forward to another great season with Cal Poly lacrosse and is excited to

lead, teach, encourage, and coach her team of amazingly talented players this year.

Aside from lacrosse, and working two jobs in Avila Beach, Emily loves spending time

with friends, and at the beach whether she’s surfing, playing beach volleyball or relaxing

in the sun!
