The Amador Valley and Carondelet girls’ soccer teams battled through 80 minutes of regulation and 20 minutes of overtime without a goal being scored in the East Bay Athletic League championship game.
The contest was forced into kicks from the spot and saw it go nine-deep before Amador goalie Morgan O’Brien stopped a Carondelet attempt, giving the Dons the win. Amador is seeded No. 4 in the upcoming North Coast Section Open Division tournament.
The Dons advanced to the EBAL finals with a convincing 3-0 win over a strong California team. Amador opened the scoring in the 30th minute of the game with a Mira Garuda goal from a corner delivery from Hailey Morec.
The Dons then doubled their advantage right before halftime when Julia Wanis put home a pass from Claire Morgan for the 2-0 lead. The final goal came in the second half when Claire Morgan put a pass across that Penny Brown put away.

Spring sports upon us!
Now that we are in the postseason for the winter sports season, we can look ahead to the busy spring sports season!
The spring is the busiest time of the high school sports year, and it’s not even close.
Going through the sports, here’s a quick guide as to how best to report results for your athletes’ teams.
Each week you can get this done in 10-15 minutes, allowing for the hard-working student athletes to get the recognition they deserve.
Baseball/softball: Send me the score, the opponent and highlights from the game. These can be names, big innings
Boys’ volleyball: This is straight forward – scores, opponents, stats, and highlights. An example of stats: Joe Jones (14 kills, 3 blocks, 4 digs), Jack Jones (45 assists, 4 service points, 12 digs).
Lacrosse: Send me the opponent and the final score, followed by highlights. For example: Joe Jones 10 goals, 3 assists, 6 ground balls. You can also add goalie and goalie saves, along with the names of people who played well.
Boys’ tennis: The easiest way to report tennis is to take a picture of the match sheet and send it to me. I ask only that you email me a roster of the team to help me to get the names right.
Swimming: Send me the top performers for the meet, along with their events, times and placing. Amador Valley had a wonderful parent reporting the last few years, but he has moved on so hopefully someone steps up this year.
Track and field: If there is an invitational, the easiest thing to do is send me the top performers, followed by a link to the site where the results are listed
Beach volleyball: See boys’ volleyball.
Boys’ golf: Straightforward. Name of the course, par for the course, followed by the scores. Or take a photo of the scoresheet and send it to me!
As always, I encourage people to send pictures in with the following caveat – it cannot be a photo used by another media service such as MaxPreps, or another local newspaper. Please include the name of your players in the photo, as well as the name of the person that took the picture.
The contact information is 925-200-0719 or email at acesmag@aol.com. My deadline is noon each Sunday, but you can always send earlier.
