The kind of atmospheric river event where the wind blows sideways and the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge feels like a whitewater rafting expedition.

Monday night marked the end of an era: Senior Night at Acalanes.

Acalanes controlled the opening minutes, but it was Campo with the first shot on goal, just wide. Some smart playmaking from Audrey Tseng (#4), Courtney Hamill (#10), Casey Lerch (#11), and Alexa Wall (#22) elevated the momentum…
