- The complaint, filed Wednesday with the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights, names the Sonoma County Junior College District, Santa Rosa Junior College and CCCAA member schools, and was posted on the ICONS website by attorney William Bock III.
- The players allege physical endangerment, citing a claimed October concussion incident involving a struck ball, and say they were benched after raising objections to the teammate’s eligibility.
- SRJC said it fosters an inclusive environment, follows California Community College Athletic Association regulations and cannot discuss individual students because of privacy laws.
- CCCAA policy permits transgender athletes to compete, and trans women must complete at least one calendar year of testosterone suppression to be cleared to play.
- Team participation has shifted: the three sat out an Aug. 15 scrimmage; Brielle Galli has returned under protest, Madison Shaw has stepped away, and Gracie Shaw remains on the roster without appearing in the first six matches.
