Tuesday night the JV Ladies hosted the team from Danville, Monte Vista. Almost every player on MV were Club Lax Players. Did that stop these hustling JV Dons no way! They outran, out-passed, out-defensed, out-maneuvered and out scored MV 12-3. Our Players were hungry, and boy did they EAT! They won their third game of the year and that makes…

It was a gorgeous Friday afternoon with lots of traffic when the JV Dons hustled their way up to Novato to make it in time for an early 4:30 game against the powerful San Marin team.
