Northgate Broncos 52, Acalanes Dons 25 The Dons got off to a good start against the Broncos, with an 8-6 lead in the first quarter, in which they had good success in breaking the Broncos press. (This showed a great improvement over the last match up against Northgate in January, when the Broncos ended the first quarter with a 22-5 lead.) However in the second half the Dons could not keep up, as the Broncos press continued, fueled by a roster of 12 girls. Acalanes only had 6 players available for this game (with 2 out/injured), so there was little rest time with only one player on the bench available for sub. For the Dons, key scorers were Nikki McCarthy with 10 (and several rebounds) and Sophie Alvarado, Samantha Louie and Rebecca Christie with 4 each.
