Busy week for the incredible JV Dons. The team ran its record to 13 wins and 1 loss with three solid victories and 8 and 0 in league. First the ladies beat a very scrappy Miramonte team 19-9 in Orinda. It was close for much of the first half but the Dons outscored the Mats 5 to 1 to end…

Miramonte is one of those competitors, and today we played them on their home courts. This time they had their number one player back in the lineup. Once again, the…
