But the team's biggest win didn't happen on the field. It came from a bold decision to give up their smartphones for an entire month.
"I was having my daily argument with her about getting off of her phone and the lightbulb kind of went on," said Jennifer Christiansen. "And I was thinking, what if this became two-fold?"
"I instantly said, 'No, let's not, that's not a good idea,' " Addy said. But the team eventually agreed.
Jennifer was amazed by the team's commitment to the idea.
Addy and Jennifer took the challenge even further. With help from the Amen Clinic in Walnut Creek, she underwent a brain scan before and after the detox to see how a break from digital life might impact a teenager's brain.
UC Davis professor Drew Cingel, who studies the effects of media on youth, said the results aren't surprising.
During a post-detox discussion with the team, reactions were mixed. Some players said they felt "freer" and more connected to people around them. Others admitted feeling irritable, stressed, or anxious without their phones.
While doctors at the Amen Clinic noted this was just an experiment and not a controlled study, they found the results intriguing.
The Del Oro girls' team is still seeking more funding for the lights on their field.
