It can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but Acalanes had no problem doing just that on Tuesday. They managed a 19-13 victory over the Saint Mary's Panthers. Given the Dons' advantage in MaxPreps' California flag football rankings (they are ranked 32nd, while the Panthers are ranked 163rd) , the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Acalanes' defense made their presence known, laying out the QB three times. In fact, those sacks all came courtesy of defensive juggernaut Julia Munter. She is on a roll when it comes to sacks, as she's now posted two or more in each of the last three games she's played.
