The Varsity Girls Lacrosse team met a tough opponent in the Cal High Grizzlies on Tuesday night at Cal High. As their mascot suggests, the Grizzlies were fierce opponents and the Dons, despite their hustle, struggled to adapt to the well rounded competition. The relatively empty game book pretty much summed up the game with very little in notable stats…

The varsity softball team improved their record to 6-1 with their sixth straight win last Thursday on home soil. The bats stayed hot and the defense rose to the occasion again in another Don’s victory. This was the third errorless game of the young season for this tight, defensive squad.
