Margueritte Aozasa joined the Stanford women's soccer coaching staff in May, 2015.
Aozasa, who grew up in nearby Mountain View, starred at Los Altos High School and was a four-year starter at Santa Clara University. She had been coaching with the Mountain View-Los Altos Soccer Club – a club she represented as a player – for six years.
Aozasa was a West Coast Conference All-Academic selection. She began her association at MVLA at age 10 and helped the MVLA Mercury to three State Cup titles and to three regional title matches. She describes Albertin Montoya, her MVLA coach and now the club’s technical director, as her mentor. Montoya also served as a Stanford volunteer assistant under Ratcliffe.
Aozasa played a midfield role in club that allowed her the freedom to play offensively and defensively. At Santa Clara, where she played from 2008-11, she split positions between midfield and center back, a spot that allowed her to take advantage to her ability to read the field. She graduated from SCU in 2012 with a major in psychology and minors in public health and Spanish.
