Special Senior Night for Lady Dons Water Polo With 14-7 Win Over Las Lomas

The Lady Dons Seniors enjoyed their senior night with stellar performances across the board. Having won the first 2 NCS Championships in Acalanes history as well as a State Championship, they are continuing to build their legend.

Las Lomas came in with a team much improved from years past, but they were no match for the Dons and the game was mostly over in the first quarter. Our seniors deserve special recognition for their performances last night:

  • Ava Donleavy was stellar in goal, blocking 7 or 11 shots and making several key long passes down the pool to assist in goals
  • Alana McCartney had a busy night scoring 2 goals, as well as getting 4 assists and 4 steals
  • Emma Miller was tough all around, scoring on a penalty shot and getting a crucial steal
  • Alex Mould was all over the pool with 1 goal, 2 assists and 2 steals. She will be playing water polo next year at UC Irvine.
  • Claire Rowell continued her offensive tear with 7 goals and added a steal for good mention. She will be playing water polo at UC Berkeley next year.
  • Carol Schirmer was an outstanding supporting teammate all around the game, locking down Las Lomas on defense and making 2 assists and 1 steal.

Supporting our seniors was Heidi Heffelfinger with 3 goals, 1 assist and 1 steal. Next game is Saturday against Monte Vista.
