Jan. 6, 2020 JV Girls Basketball

Acalanes 46, Benicia 45

The JV Lady Dons won a nail-biter after the teams were within 2 to 3 points of each other most of the game, sealed by a clutch free throw by Emily Lau with less than a minute remaining.  This was the last pre-season, non-league game for this primarily freshman team, which has markedly improved from their first practice in November.   Nikki McCarthy was the high scorer with 14 points, including 4 free throws.  Molly Keliher-Burke and Lucy Gellman had great games with 8 points each.   Teamwork was a key factor in this win, including many assists by Emily Lau.
