Marin County Weekend Sports Wrap: College of Marin and Local High Schools Shine
From the College of Marin’s big win in the Bay Valley to high-energy showings in the MCAL, Marin County’s teams painted a lively picture of spring athletics.
Whether you’re in San Rafael, Novato, or Mill Valley, the weekend produced moments that sports fans will probably be talking about at the coffee shops along Redwood Highway and in the bleachers of Peacock Gap.
Baseball sparks in Kentfield, San Anselmo, and Novato
Patrick Kozielec absolutely went off—he went four-for-four with eight RBIs, including an eighth-inning grand slam, as College of Marin rolled past Yuba 14-3.
The Mariners now stand at 24-10 for the season, with a 10-3 mark in the Bay Valley Conference.
Charles Veley kept Yuba to just four hits and one unearned run over 6.2 innings on the mound. That’s a strong effort in Kentfield, no doubt.
In a different Bay Area matchup, Archie Williams cruised to a 16-2 win over San Rafael in five innings.
That one stings for the hosts, while the Falcons get to celebrate a big win in the North San Rafael/Lagunitas corridor.
- Patrick Kozielec: four hits, eight RBIs, grand slam (eighth inning)
- Charles Veley: 6.2 innings, four hits, one unearned run
Volleyball in the mix: first-place races and clutch performances
The MCAL season’s still up for grabs as volleyball teams fight for position.
San Rafael held strong with a 3-0 sweep over San Marin (25-20, 25-22, 25-17).
Leo Datnow racked up 33 digs and 20 serve receives, and Mason Stein added 16 kills with six aces for the Saints.
That’s a nice boost for their contender status in Marin County’s top league.
- Leo Datnow: 33 digs, 20 serve receives
- Mason Stein: 16 kills, 6 aces
Meanwhile in Novato, the Hornets battled for a three-set win over San Marin (25-28, 25-18, 29-27).
Jernee Smith threw down 23 kills, and Ryder Martinez chipped in 12 kills and 13 digs.
Even in a sport full of wild rallies, depth across Marin County still matters.
Tamalpais, Terra Linda, and the modern volleyball landscape
Over in Mill Valley, Tam took down Terra Linda 3-0 (25-20, 25-14, 25-22).
Michael Moriarty showed off his versatility, while Seth Cabrera-Ampie and Vincenzo Bezerra delivered solid contributions.
The Tamalpais High School crowd definitely got their money’s worth.
Golf in the county: Branson tops Novato at Peacock Gap
At the Peacock Gap course, the Branson School golf squad put together a strong team showing, beating Novato 172-229.
Jack Hilleboe led Branson with a three-under-par 33, and Johnny Malone paced Novato with a 38.
The Rams and Hornets both fought for steady ground along those winding fairways.
- Jack Hilleboe: 33 (-3) for Branson
- Johnny Malone: 38 for Novato
Girls lacrosse and soccer: Redwood, Marin Catholic, and Sacred Heart Prep
In a key MCAL lacrosse clash, Redwood freshman Grace Davis scored three goals as Redwood beat Marin Catholic 8-5.
Claire Johnson added two goals, giving the Redwood program a boost in the county standings.
- Grace Davis: 3 goals for Redwood
- Claire Johnson: 2 goals
Closer to the coast, Marin Academy fell 17-7 at home to Sacred Heart Prep.
Reese Goodenough tried to keep it close with six goals and 12 draw controls, but Sacred Heart Prep pulled away with seven fourth-quarter goals.
Dominican University update: wins, pause, and a campus decision in San Rafael
Turning to college athletics, Dominican University pulled off a sweep of Biola in a doubleheader on Monday. The team clinched Game 2 with an 11th-inning walk-off, which was wild to watch.
On Tuesday, Dominican dropped both games in the rematch. Earlier in the week, they beat Chapman 14-7 and wrapped up the regular season at 21-21 (14-12 PacWest).
In a surprising move, Dominican announced it will cancel its final two games and pause competition through 2026. The decision comes down to roster health issues and a leadership change, but players keep their eligibility and the school still meets NCAA requirements.
The Dominican campus in San Rafael has always drawn Bay Area sports fans who want high-level competition in Marin County. There’s just something about that spot that keeps people coming back.
- 11th-inning walk-off vs Biola
- Regular season: 21-21 (PacWest 14-12)
- Pause through 2026 for roster health and leadership changes
Across Marin County—from Kentfield’s College of Marin to high schools in Sausalito, Ross, and San Rafael—the weekend captured why this region’s sports scene stands out. There’s a mix of local pride, deep rosters, and those standout moments people will argue about for months.
