 The level of play was highly competitive (above that of even the best Division I college teams) and the action was fast paced.The Golddiggers placed 2nd in 1987, 2nd in 1988 and were in 2nd when the league ceased operations midway through the season in 1989.One of two west coast powerhouse teams, the Golddiggers started as the San Francisco/San Jose Golddiggers in 1987, becoming the San Jose Golddiggers in 1988, due to the team having the largest season ticket holder base and the fact that they were the attendance leaders for MLV.
