Brady Wall knew it was coming. No one wanting to sit next to him on the bench. No one saying much about how he was lining up College Park batters and sending them back to the dugout shaking their heads. After being snakebit in successive bottom-of-the-seventh walk off loses, the Dons needed the stellar performance on the mound that Wall…

The JV Lady Lax team just completed three more victories with blow outs over Northgate, Berkeley and Campolindo during the past week.

On a beautiful Friday night Acalanes took on Las Lomas on their home field donning colorful socks for the Matt Lynn Memorial Game. The Knights came out hot and scored 2 quick goals against the Dons.

The JV Dons were forced to play another 7v7 match against Piedmont on Wednesday night, but what Piedmont lacked in numbers they made up with in size and physicality. But, our Dons were not swayed one bit as they matched their physical play and dominated on the defensive side. The Dons attackers and middies did what they always do… attack…
Nine down, one to go. With the win today, Acalanes improves to 6-3 in league play. The match Tuesday now gets interesting as we host Northgate at home while Campolindo (8-0) hosts Miramonte (6-3). A Dons win on Tuesday secures at least a tie for second place. However, a loss doesn’t necessarily mean we slip to third place. We have…

An opening goal from Simon Appel (his first of four on the night) and the next from Griffin Rotundo, had the Dons quickly up 2-0. But two…
What a beautiful day it was at the Las Lomas pool as the Dons faced off with the Knights. Again, our team was just finishing their “Hell Week”, so not many time improvements – the swimmers are tired!
