Just like with other sports, there are many slang terms used in Lacrosse. Obvious ones include Ball Hunt (player searching for a lost ball), BTB (behind the back), Cage (the goal), Coast-to-Coast (defender carries ball length of field and scores), Dime (good pass), Frozen Rope (hard shot), Hatty (3-goal game), Lax Rat (player who eats, breaths, and sleeps lacrosse), Loosie…
It was a gorgeous evening on Tuesday when the Lady Dons rolled into the Presidio in San Francisco to pay against University High. The field there is wonderful with a view of the Golden Gate Bridge. However, the fans were not watching the view as they were watching the Dons dismantle the University Devils 19 to 4. Once again it…
The Dons returned from Spring Break ready to take on San Francisco University High School on the road Tuesday afternoon. Two players in particular, midfielder Lucca DeBiasse and goalie Addie Martin, looked rested and refreshed throughout the game. DeBiasse scored so many goals that we had to research the nicknames for various numbers of goals (more on that later) and…
The Acalanes JV Lady Lacrosse Dons ran their record to 11 wins and 0 losses after defeating Miramonte 21-1 and College Park 17-1. The Lady Dons have made quick work of every team that they have played this season. It has been a masterful display by a remarkable group of young women. Not only is this group great at lacrosse…
Girls Varsity Lacrosse Wins Big in Game Dedicated to Local Family and Raising Money for Rare Disease
The girls varsity lacrosse team went into their game Thursday night at home with an added mission – raising money to help find a cure for Mabry Syndrome. Before play began, the game was dedicated to The Landman Family and their daughter Lucy who was diagnosed with the rare disease at 10 months old. In collaboration with Lucy’s family and…
Yes, you read the title correctly, it did not rain Tuesday night as the Varsity Girls Lacrosse team hosted Justin-Siena. Granted it was still cold enough to tempt some fans to go watch the Varsity Boys Volleyball game going on at the same time inside the warm and cozy big gym, but nevertheless the Lacrosse fans faithfully stuck it out…
The Varsity Girls Lacrosse team travelled to Orinda on Friday to take on the Miramonte Matadors. In a bit of an inauspicious beginning, the scoreboard didn’t work, and apparently the music didn’t work either as the Matadors sang the national anthem unaccompanied. Also, if anyone is every interested in more rain, just schedule a girls varsity lacrosse game as it…
The Acalanes Girls JV Lacrosse team improved their record this week to 9 wins and 0 losses after defeating Campolindo 8 to 3 and Bishop O’Dowd 16 to 2. Both Campo and O’Dowd scored two goals in the last two minutes of their games when the Dons stopped pressing otherwise neither game would have been that close. Both games were…
The Dons traveled to Oakland on Wednesday night for their match up against Bishop O’Dowd. The team was slow to get started on attack, with Lucca DeBiasse scoring the only goal for the Dons in the first quarter. They headed into the second quarter down 3-1. Thankfully, things started to pick up on offense and the dons got some scoring…
If the Dons could go back in time and erase the first quarter of their game against Campo on Friday night, Acalanes would be celebrating an 8-7 victory over the Cougs. Sadly, time travel hasn’t been invented yet. It wasn’t that the Dons’ offense didn’t get any shots off in the first quarter, they just couldn’t get any past Campo…
