While many college football teams were busy fighting over flags this past week, the College of San Mateo squad was busy planting its own flag as the best team in Northern California — and at this point, it’s not really close.

Suayan and Hall each played big roles in returning the Lady Bulldogs to the California Community College Athletic Association Northern California regional volleyball playoffs for the seventh straight year. That postseason run came to an end, however, as No. 8-seed CSM fell 25-22, 16-25, 27-25, 25-17 at home Tuesday night to No. 9 Merced (20-6).

College of San Mateo’s Ericka Dorn expects to be one of the top freshman runners in Saturday morning’s California Community College Athletic Association State Cross Country Championships at Woodward Park in Fresno. The Westmoor graduate was third in the recent Northern California Championships at Toro Park in Salinas, running 19 minutes, 12.9 second on the three-mile course.

The College of San Mateo’s throttling of Laney College 57-7 last Friday put the finishing touches on the Bulldogs’ third straight Bay 6 Conference title and set them up as the No. 1 seed in the Northern California playoffs, which begin Nov. 30.

Lolo Mataele wasted no time taking care of business to ensure College of San Mateo would finish an unbeaten Bay 6 Conference season Friday night at Laney College. The Bulldogs (5-0 Bay 6, 9-1 overall) enjoyed a resounding 52-7 victory, with the 6-0, 210-pound star running back scoring the team’s first three touchdowns.

College of San Mateo wrapped up a third straight Bay 6 Conference football title with a 61-7 victory over visiting San Joaquin Delta College Saturday, all but clinching home playoff game when the Bulldogs begin the defense of their Northern California title later this month.

College of San Mateo has hosted track and field for generations, but it’s safe to say no single hurdling feat has electrified like that of football standout Lolo Mataele. The sophomore running back produced the highlight of CSM’s season to date, turning a 69-yard touchdown run into a steeple chase in leading the Bulldogs (2-0 Bay 6, 6-1 overall) to a 49-14 win Saturday at College Heights Stadium over the Foothill Owls (1-1, 4-2).

CSM (1-0 Bay 6, 5-1 overall) opened its Bay 6 Conference football schedule with a rowdy and oftentimes volatile showing Friday night in San Ramon, but the legs of running back Malakai DeMoss and punter Tashi Dorje carried the Bulldogs to a 27-14 victory over Diablo Valley College.

CSM men’s basketball coach Mike Marcial, along with longtime CSM women’s coach Michelle Warner, are putting on what they’re calling “Bulldog Madness,” with a number of events being held to generate interest in the respective programs Oct. 12 at the CSM gym starting at noon and running to 4 p.m. Golden State Warriors “hype man” Franco Finn will serve as master of ceremonies. Admission is free and refreshments are available, as well.

The Bulldogs’ secondary stepped up big time Saturday at College Heights Stadium. College of San Mateo (4-1) is becoming notorious for close-scoring games, and the final non-conference game on its schedule was no different. CSM scored two touchdowns in the second quarter and made them hold up for a thrilling 14-7 victory over Fresno City College. It is the fourth one-score differential in five games this season for the “leave no doubt” Bulldogs.
