PLEASANTON — Amador Valley High goalie Allie DaCar was hoarse but happy Thursday night.
The host Dons notched an immensely satisfying 8-6 win over three-time defending champion Carondelet in the North Coast Section Division I girls lacrosse championship game.
It was mission accomplished for a strong cast of Dons seniors who had lost to the Cougars the past two seasons in the section finals.
DaCar had four clutch saves and collected a groundball. Carondelet’s Corine Lafayette scored all six of her team’s goals, but the balanced Dons held on after holding five-goal leads three times, 5-0, 7-2 and 8-3. Andrea Arden, Evan Murphy and Jackie Gilbert led Amador Valley (22-1), the No. 1 seed, with two goals apiece, and Gilbert had seven draw controls.

CAL Softball vs St. Mary’s – April 10th, 2013.

The starting shortstop and leadoff hitter for the University of California enjoyed one such stretch over the last two weeks, batting a torrid .636 (14 for 22), including going 4 for 4 twice, with two doubles, four home runs, 10 runs scored and 13 RBIs in that span. One of her homers was […]
