The Lady Dons made it 14 in a row Friday night with a 53 to 29 victory over Northgate.

It was a big match-up Friday night and the young Lady Dons proved up to the challenge. The girls…
The JV Dons hosted Northgate High School on Friday night. The Dons had their hands full in the first half. Northgate was aggressive on offense and was ahead 30-12 at the half.

Acalanes Girls Soccer hosted El Cerrito Saturday evening and had all of the ingredients for another big win in the “kitchen.” It could be argued by many in attendance that the true first goal of the match was a beautiful bar-down goal by senior Natalie Means that bounced fully over the goal line, behind the El Cerrito keeper, but unfortunately,…

Girls Varsity Soccer hosted Benicia on a very chilly Thursday night, but the Dons were bringing the heat throughout the chippy, physical match with the Panthers.
