CASTROVILLE — Danielle Acuna said she spent extra time training during the offseason in hopes of getting the Condors to the postseason.

The North Monterey County High soccer forward was named the MBL Pacific Division Most Valuable Player earlier this month.

Acuna scored 21 goals in her final season with the Condors, who finished 7-4-1 in the division and 9-8-2 overall.
