15th anniversary of the team’s 1st place HAAL finish.<br />
The night ended perfectly when the <strong>Dragon</strong>s beat the<br />
Jackets by a landslide, 49 - 12.<br />
The next night, classes from 1956, 1961 and 1981 were<br />
welcomed back to campus for their reunions. The sun<br />
shined as another 100+ alumni received campus tours<br />
led by O’Dowd President Steve Phelps, reminisced<br />
over cocktails and dinner, and then danced the night<br />
away. We also want to congratulate the Class of 1986,<br />
which held its 30th reunion off campus the same<br />
evening. Congratulations to all the reunion years and<br />
we look forward to seeing your classes again in five<br />
years.<br />

on campus. Alums enjoyed cold beer and good company<br />
before heading off to the football game where<br />
they cheered on our varsity team against Berkeley<br />
High. The 2001 O’Dowd varsity women’s volleyball<br />
team was honored during halftime, recognized for the<br />
