In eleven seasons with the Patriots, Bokker compiled a record of 86-94, leading the team to a 12-5 record and a no. 16 national ranking in her final year in 2008, although the team never made the NCAA Tournament. Bokker came to Palo Alto in 2009, and in nine seasons, she has led the Cardinal to five conference tournament titles, two regular-season championships, and six NCAA Tournament bids. She has also coached seven All-Americans and has served as an assistant coach on the U.S. women's national team.[2]
