Welcome to 2025! I hope everyone had a nice and relaxing holiday. On Thursday night, the JV Girls Soccer team took the field after nearly a month since their last game to take on a tough 5-1-1 Clayton Valley Ugly Eagles team. Perhaps showing a bit of a sign of rust after the long break, the girls ended up falling…
It was an exciting albeit lopsided game. The Dons took 18 shots vs College Park’s scant 3. Nearly the entire Don squad participated in the attack with shots taken by players 3, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 13, 18, 20 & 23. We tried to score from every angle and distance. Unfortunately none of the Don’s shots found the back…
Game #1 vs Northgate A storm was raging during the early morning hours of Saturday, December 14. But on this day, it wasn’t the torrential downpour or the gale force winds leaving a path of destruction in its wake. It was the Frosh and the Furious. From the moment they stepped onto the pitch, the home team made it abundantly…
After controlling the possession for the first 15 minutes, Maria Carrillo High School opened the scoring with a great cross. Acalanes senior Alex Salazar soon answered with a rocket shot from the center of the box after 2 perfectly set up passes from seniors Nicole Nguyen and Taylor Mikalis. The first half ended in a 1-1 tie. Once again, 15…
The JV girls soccer team has had a busy week so far. On Monday, they played Bishop O’Dowd. On Tuesday, they had a film session followed by a team dinner at Sliver Pizzeria. Then on Wednesday, they hit the road for a long trip to Santa Rosa to take on Maria Carrillo High School Pumas, in a game that featured…
Monday December 9, the Acalanes Women’s soccer team welcomed Bishop O’Dowd High School to the Dons’ home pitch. The Dragons were coming off a 3-game win streak and play was fast and furious between these well-matched teams from the start. Our defense came out strong with Edie Berzansky and Tori Hiatt, with Lily Polkinhorn and Dani Green working in the midfield. Livi Foster sent a nice through ball to Nicole…
On Monday, the JV Girls Soccer team hosted the Bishop O’Dowd Dragons. For the last 15 minutes of the first half, the O’Dowd forwards resembled Puff the Magic Dragon frolicking in the autumn mist in a land called Acalanes as they ripped off 3 goals in quick succession. For the other 65 minutes of the game, it was as if…
Welcome to December as the women of the Frosh and the Furious Acalanes soccer team did some early Christmas shopping at the Campolindo goal. June Natal started the day with a present off of a deflection scoring the Dons first goal of the day within just 3 minutes of the starting whistle. Svea Staino was quick to follow burying the…
The Varsity Girls Soccer team traveled to Cardinal Newman HS in Santa Rosa for a rare Saturday match. The Dons were missing 12 players due to prior commitments or injuries, so Coach Alex invited some fantastic JV players to the pitch. This was a match that had feelings of the movie “300”… where the outnumbered Spartan warriors battled bravely against…
