The Diablo Valley College’s athletes have had positive seasons this semester. These teams have been practicing as hard as they can to bring pride to their school.

The soccer players have shown their resilience through this season, as they have  remained undefeated at home with two wins and five ties. With the majority of their team being freshman, this fact shows how determined they are to prove what they can do.

In every win, no opposing team scored more than 1 point and in some wins, such as Sacramento City College and Chabot, they can completely shut out their opponent and keep the ball on the opposing side.

In the Big 8 conference, DVC has two wins, three losses and three ties.

Their next home game is on Friday, Nov. 6 at 3:30 pm against American River College.

The Diablo Valley College football team has won four games and lost three.

This entire season, DVC has seen great skill come from the football team. In the game against Siskiyous College, the Vikings fought as hard as they could for as long as they could with the game going into triple overtime.

In the few games they have lost, they haven’t lost by more than six points, which makes losses like their game against Modesto College (35-34) that much more painful. However, it makes home wins like De Anza College (33-0) and Foothill College(52-13) that much sweeter.

So far in the Bay 6 conference, DVC is 2-0 after consecutively defeating De Anza and Foothill. As they move forward, they hope to stay undefeated in league.

Their next home game is on Friday, Nov. 6 at 7:00 pm against College of San Mateo.
