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…
Tuesday night was a tale of two halves for the Acalanes Girls Varsity Lacrosse team as they took on the Monte Vista Mustangs at home. Going into the game, the Dons knew they’d face strong competition from the Mustangs. Monte Vista got started quickly, scoring the first goal of the night. However, Acalanes wasn’t to be deterred and with solid…
The Girls Lacrosse JV Team defeated the mighty Monte Vista team on Tuesday evening 16-3. Although the score may not indicate it, the teams battled in this one.

On a beautiful Friday evening at home and the day after International Women’s Day Acalanes Running Lady JV Dons made a major local statement by beating Northgate 19 to 0. They represented the women of the world admirably! These young lady Dons played all 37 players in a game that was not in doubt after the first five minutes. This…
The Girls Varsity Lacrosse team hosted the Northgate Broncos on Friday night. The Dons showed some nerves early in the game, allowing the Broncos to score in the first minute. From there both teams traded possession multiple times with turnovers back and forth. The Dons finally broke through with senior Grace Imrie scoring off of a nice pass by fellow…
Torrential rains, 35 MPH winds, 45 degree weather. That is what Mother Nature provided to the Dons as they played Granada High School in Livermore. Did that stop the Lady Dons…NO WAY. I know I mention ground and loose balls as an important statistic and the reason it is so important is because it results in a possession for the…
