Playing undefeated Northgate in the last regular season match of the season, the Lady Dons narrowly missed escaping with a victory following an incredible team performance where all six of our golfers–Haley Chelemedos, Campbell Evans, Hana Chelemedos, Taylor Baker, Hayley Takeshima and Grace Wolpert–scored season bests, overcoming a 25 point loss at Northgate two weeks ago. The Lady Dons tied…

As I sat down to write this article, I was thinking that I was running out of content having talked about the history of tennis, scoring, the US Open, rackets, balls, and so forth. Although I came up with a few other ideas that could show up in future articles, I thought I would dedicate this one to female athletes for…
Acalanes faced a strong Miramonte team on Tuesday, but the girls did win 3 lines of singles (Evelyn Lee, Ash Dawkins and Lauren Anderson) and 2 lines of doubles (Rachel Feldman and Addy Jeffery, Audrey Parkin and Sabrina Koo). We will get them next time!
We had a big win against Las Lomas winning all of the doubles and 5 out of 6 singles. The Las Lomas team had very strong singles players which our girls battled and prevailed against. Congratulations to Evelyn Lee, Hetty Lofting, Kate Widmann, Molly Jones and Zoe Stafford.
