GAME NOTES THIS WEEK FOR THE DONS: USF tackles its last two non-conference opponents of the season when it welcomes Cal State Northridge to the Hilltop Friday night before taking to the road for a Sunday night showdown with Bay Area rival San Jose State. The Dons have been tested in the early pre-conference schedule and have played three teams ranked in the top-25 in their first five matches of the 2010 season. A LOOK AT THE MATADORS: Cal State Northridge concludes a six match road trip Friday night when they take on USF under the lights at Negoesco Stadium. The Matadors enter with a 0-5-1 record and have been out-scored 12-2. Last weekend CSUN dropped a 3-0 decision to No. 1 Akron and fell 2-1 to IllinoisChicago in the Akron Tournament. It marks the first meeting between the two teams since USF posted a 2-1 road decision September 15, 2006. PREVIEWING THE SPARTANS: San Jose State is off to a strong start to the 2010 season and enters the weekend with a 5-2-0 record and split last weekend against West Coast Conference opponents. The Spartans dropped a 2-0 decision to Saint Mary’s on Thursday before bouncing back for a 2-1 triumph against Loyola Marymount on Sunday. USF will be the fourth consecutive WCC opponent for SJSU after traveling to Santa Clara on Friday night. DONS SEEK END TO SCORING DROUGHT: After suffering three straight shutouts, USF looks to go back on the offensive. The Dons have put themselves in a position to score goals and on the season have attempted the same number of shots as their opponents (57). USF has out-shot its last three foes 35-27, 1816 in shots on goal. During the 2008 season San Francisco did not score in its first four matches before catching fire offensively. The Dons were able to recover offensively thanks to All-American Conor Chinn, who scored 17 goals to lift USF to the West Coast Conference Championship and an NCAA Tournament berth. BRYAN BURKE NAMED TO 2010 WCC PRESEASON TEAM: Senior forward Bryan Burke was named to the 2010 West Coast Conference Preseason Team for the second consecutive season. Burke led the team in assists last season with seven, good for fourth place among WCC leaders and was second on the Dons in points with 11. A two-time All-WCC Second Team selection, Burke is the top returning scorer for USF this season and assisted on the game-winning goal against No. 9 Northwestern (9/3/10). UP NEXT FOR THE DONS: San Francisco kicks off the 2010 West Coast Conference campaign with a three-game homestand beginning Friday, October 1 when it welcomes Loyola Marymount to the Hilltop. The Dons then tackle defending WCC champion San Diego in a Sunday matinee at Negoesco Stadium.
