GAME NOTES THIS WEEK FOR THE DONS: USF concludes an exceptionally busy week when it welcomes Saint Mary’s to Negoesco Stadium Wednesday, October 6 for a rare midweek West Coast Conference match. The Dons then travel south to take on ancient Bay Area rival Santa Clara Friday night at Buck Shaw Stadium. The match against the Broncos will be the fourth match for USF in eight days. GAELS GAZING: Saint Mary’s opened the 2010 West Coast Conference campaign with a split, posting a 1-0 overtime win against defending league champion San Diego before dropping a 1-0 decision to Loyola Marymount on Sunday. Five Gaels have scored at least once, led by three scoring strikes from Tom Mohoric. Trevor Newquist adds two goals and a team-high three assists for SMC, which has out-scored opponents 10-9 this season. BRONCO BUSTERS: Santa Clara posted a 1-0-1 start to the 2010 West Coast Conference slate. The Broncos posted a hard-fought 1-1 deadlock at 2009 NCAA Tournament participant Portland on Sunday after scoring three unanswered goals to beat Gonzaga 3-1 in Spokane. SCU is riding a four-match unbeaten string into the second week of league play and have scored and allowed 13 goals in 10 matches this year. USF YOUTH MOVEMENT: With just six returning upperclassmen and eight overall on the 2010 roster, USF has endured some growing pains during the first half of the season. After nine matches Dons underclassmen have made no fewer than 50 of a possible 99 starts this season and newcomers have cracked the starting lineup 37 times. REMAIN CALM: Although an 0-2 start to the West Coast Conference schedule is never the goal, it does not necessarily mean success is not on the horizon. USF started WCC play with an 0-2 slate in 2004 and eventually won the league title. The Dons also made the NCAA Tournament in 2006 after an 0-2 WCC start. 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 closes the first half of the West Coast Conference schedule when it travels to the Pacific Northwest to take on Portland and Gonzaga. The Dons tackle the Bulldogs Friday, October 13 at the Gonzaga Soccer Field and then play a Sunday matinee against the Pilots at Merlo Field.
