Lady Dons win

Bernadette Suffle poured in 21 points and Kerri Dunn (Presentation) added 14 to lead the De Anza Community College women's basketball team to a lopsided 81-57 win over Gavilan last week.

The Lady Dons improved to 6-2 in the Coast Conference and to 21-7 for the year with the victory.

Suffle buried three three-pointers on her way to the 21-point night, and Dunn jammed seven field goals to account for all of her 14 points. Laura Raffaelli (Los Gatos) supported with 12 points and Jane Riley (Westmont) added 11.

Riley had jammed 19 points earlier in the week to lead the Dons to an 82-48 win over Cabrillo. Stephanie Harris added 14 points for De Anza and Suffle and Raffaelli hit 13 apiece.

A night earlier, the De Anza men dropped a tough 97-88 decision to San Jose City College to slip to 3-2 in the conference and to 11-15 for the season.

David Newberg (Westmont) had the hot hand for the Dons with 24 points, and Aaron Zaballos (Oak Grove) fired in 19, including five three-pointers. Germaine Monroe chipped in with 14 points, and David Mollins added 13.

Earlier in the week, the Dons turned back Ohlone 76-60. Monroe and Mollins dropped 17 points apiece for the winners and Newberg had 13.
