BOYS LAX:
Thursday, April 7th vs. Tam
(JV) Win: 10-0
"JV stepped on the gas pedal and had no interest in looking back. If I were to let those young men off their leash, the score probably would have been much higher, which they wanted, however, that is not the case. They were controlled, they worked very well with each other and played as a team without being selfish. It was a nice sight to see these boys learn the game and how it's supposed to be played."
- Coach Jesse Jones

Tuesday, April 5th vs. Branson
Win: 14-7 (Varsity)
Curtis Garlic continues to be a stalwart player for the Novato Defense - he is close to leading MCAL in the number of saves.

Wednesday, March 30th vs. San Rafael
(Varsity) Win: 18-3
Connor Figone scored 6 goals. Chase Rudy scored 6 goals.

Varsity is currently ranked 6th in MCAL and expect a few good wins in the next several match-ups
