How a student with no competitive soccer experience ended up on UCLA's elite women's team that finished the 2017 season as runner-up to national champion Stanford.

For passing their daughter off as a recruited athlete, Bruce and Davina Isackson gave Singer’s charity 2,150 shares of Facebook stock, valued at about $250,000, the FBI affidavit says.

The day her daughter was approved by a UCLA student-athlete admissions committee, Davina Isackson thanked Singer in an email. Her daughter and husband were copied on the note. Zak Ibsen, the club’s director of coaching for the last two years, said he spoke with former coaches at Woodside Soccer Club from the years Isackson purportedly played for the club, and that none remembered her. Ibsen himself played for UCLA and won a national championship in 1990 alongside Salcedo.Singer, who began cooperating with the government in a bid for leniency, called Isackson’s parents in September.

Bruce Isackson was recorded fretting about how the operation could unravel, and the embarrassment it would spell for his family.
