The Dons celebrated Senior Night by shutting down Northgate in a 4-0 heart-pounder on Tuesday, 2/6! The game kicked off with all six of our seniors on the field. The first 10 minutes of the game were beautifully played, with the Dons moving the ball up the field with crisp passes and impressive formation. There was a nice attack by…
We all knew this was going to be an uphill battle as the Dons travelled Tuesday to Clayton Valley for their second game in as many nights against juggernaut Clayton Valley- the defending NCS D2 Champions, 20-7, top 20 SF Metro Area Ugly Eagles who beat us by 20+ earlier in the year. But there was HOPE. We played great…

The Dons moved on to the “win or go home” phase of the season looking for redemption Monday night of an early season loss at Las Lomas which was a very close game up until a few minutes left. It wasn’t quite the sellout I expected but still a well attended game that did not disappoint in terms of playoff…
Saturday, February 3, the Varsity Women welcomed the Redwood High Giants to our home pitch. We knew this would be a close match given this Larkspur team’s record of 12 wins so far this season. The first half opened with great teamwork by the Dons, Edie Berzansky and Tori Hiatt holding the defensive line, while Megan Yee, Reese Tierney, and…
The Dons Freshman soccer team ended its season on Saturday after a busy week. The team posted a 0-0 tie against Campo while dominating the match but unable to find the back of the net.

Friday night was the Regular Season Finale and Senior Night for the Dons who hosted Mt. Diablo (2-21,…
Saturday, February 3, 2024Record: 22-4 “We are going to Disneyland.” Stated versatile forward Spencer Clark. Spencer, who often goes by the nickname Bee-Rabbit in the Lafayette music community, had promised his teammates a trip to Anaheim if they could beat his mother’s alma mater, Bishop O’Dowd. Sadly, the Disneyland adventure will have to wait. The Dons lost to Jennifer Montague’s…

The first half followed a familiar script as the Dons controlled the ball with crisp passing and aggressive defense but couldn’t punch in a goal and both teams left the pitch scoreless at the break.
