The Dons came into last Wednesday’s game with a three game winning streak hoping to make it four.

In front of a home crowd, the Dons battled the Gavilan Rams in a key league game.

Gavilan kept the game close in the first half only, trailing by seven at the break.

With the exception of freshmen Keith Miyakusu and Daniel Logan, defense wasn’t played to the expectations of Coach Mike Riley.

“Not a great game, our push for offense was making us lose our defense,” said Riley.

The Dons started the second half off strong and came up victorious, 93-67.

A key to the victory was good three-point shooting. The Dons, who lead the Coast Conference South Division in three-point shooting at 36 percent for the season.

Sophomore Alex Kargbo had two buckets beyond the arch, adding to his league high 52 percent three point percentage.

Before the game against Gavilan, De Anza lost a key game verses San Jose 65-75.

The Dons followed the loss though with wins over Monterey, Cabrillo and West Valley.

A key to De Anza’s success this year is the play of Logan, who is leading the league in field goal percentage and blocks and Kargbo who is second in the league in scoring, averaging 23 points a game.
