GAME NOTES THIS WEEK 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. When USF tangles with the Lions it opens a tough stretch with four WCC matches in an eight-day span. A LOOK AT THE LIONS: Loyola Marymount opens the 2010 season against USF for the second consecutive season Friday night. A 2009 NCAA Tournament participant, the Lions posted a 4-3-1 non-conference slate and return a veteran laden team into league play. Hermann Trophy Watch List participant Rafael Baca has a goal and a team-leading five assists, while Artur Jozkowicz has registered a team-high four scoring strikes. The Lions own a 12-9 goals advantage. TORERO TOPICS: The defending West Coast Conference champions, San Diego sits at .500 with a 3-3-1 non-conference slate. The Toreros have out-scored their 2010 opponents 12-8 and Marcelo Carminatti has a team-high three goals, while Dan Delgado adds a pair of goals and a team-high three assists. Goalkeeper Michael D’Arrigo has posted three shutouts on the year. USD opens WCC play at Santa Clara on Friday. DONS FIND THE BACK OF THE NET: After suffering three straight shutouts, USF returned to the offensive last week, scoring a total of three goals in two matches. In the first five contests of 2010, San Francisco managed just two goals. The Dons have put themselves in a position to score goals and on the season have attempted 83 shots, compared to 95 for opponents. USF turned in its first multi-goal match of the season in a thrilling 2-1 double overtime win against Cal State Northridge (9/24). Freshman forward Tanner Smith scored his team-leading second goal of the year, while sophomore striker Oscar Englund added his first. USF IN WEST COAST CONFERENCE OPENERS: San Francisco opens West Coast Conference play Friday night against Loyola Marymount. The Dons own an overall record of 12-10 in league lid-lifters dating to the start of round robin conference play in 1988 with a gaudy 9-3 mark at Negoesco Stadium; 4-7 on the road. USF has struggled out of the WCC gate since 2000, posting just a 3-7 record, but took a 1-0 road decision at Gonzaga to open the 2008 campaign in the first opening decision a 4-0 win against Saint Mary’s in 2002. UP NEXT FOR THE DONS: San Francisco continues West Coast Conference play against ancient Bay Area rivals Saint Mary’s and Santa Clara. The Dons host the Gaels, a 2010 NCAA Tournament participant Wednesday, October 6 and then travel to Buck Shaw Stadium Friday night to take on the Broncos.
