The Lady Dons faced a solid opponent last night, as the sun set over a bucolic Piedmont lacrosse field. “Where are all the weeds?” asked a visiting spectator. I don’t think they’re allowed on those 15 square miles of earth. Here are the quick stats: · Persephone (#76) – 4 saves · Chloe (#65) – 3 saves · Talia (#47) – 6 for…

In addition to it being tax day, it was also Charlotte Gellman’s birthday, which the team celebrated by hoisting her up in the air and eating cupcakes (not simultaneously). The game was a tale of two halves. In the first…

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.

Although they ended up falling 16-12, the girls played perhaps their best game of the young season in a very entertaining game against a very tough team that they would have won if not for the second quarter where they were outscored 7-0.
