USF Hosts Breast Cancer Awareness Match
USF boasts two players with 10-plus points for first time since 2006 Dons go 1-1 last weekend, stand at 2-2 in WCC play GAME NOTES THIS WEEK: USF will return to the Hilltop this weekend, hosting Portland in its lone match of the week. The Dons and Pilots will kick off Sunday, October 23 at 1 p.m. The match will serve as the annual Making Strides Towards Breast Cancer contest of the year. NEXT WEEK: San Francisco remains at home, hosting the newest member of the West Coast Conference, BYU, Thursday, October 27, at 7 p.m. before hosting Saint Mary’s, Sunday, October 30 at 3 p.m. in a double header with the USF Men’s Soccer team. LAST WEEK: USF took their show on the road, coming up with a 1-1 mark for the weekend. The Dons opened with a 1-0 victory over Gonzaga, before falling 5-0 to No. 13 Santa Clara. DONS PARTICIPATE IN ANNUAL MAKING STRIDES TOWARDS BREAST CANCER MATCH: You may notice San Francisco donning a little of the color pink Sunday. USF will be wearing the color in order to raise awareness towards breast cancer. The Dons are slated to wear pink shoelaces and pink sweatbands. There will also be items up for raffle, with the benefits from the ticket sales going towards the American Cancer Society, including a pink soccer ball signed by both teams. In addition, pink bracelets will be distributed to all the youth in attendances. MOBERG KEEPS ‘EM COMING: With a late goal at Gonzaga, not only did Christina Moberg win the games for the Dons, she became the program’s most prolific single season scorer in five years. Moberg currently paces the Dons with five goals and two assists for 12 total points. Moberg’s dozen total points this season marks the most since Chelsea Hunt posted 12 in 2006. Prior to ‘06, Hunt posted 22 total points during the 2005 campaign. USF RECORDS FIRST WIN OVER LMU IN OVER A DECADE: October 7, the Dons’ 2-1 victory over Loyola Marymount to open West Coast Conference action was the first time since 1997 the Dons have logged a win over the Lions. In 1997, USF defeated LMU 2-1 on the Hilltop. All-time, San Francisco has gone 5-13-1 against Loyola Marymount. MOBERG, KRISER MAKING OFFENSIVE STRIDES: The duo of Christina Moberg and Mackenzie Krieser are a serious threat this season. Combined, the duo has recorded 22 points – over half of the Dons 42 total points. The last time USF has two members of its squad with 10-plus points was in 2006. That season, Chelsea Hunt recorded a dozen points, while Fiona O’Sullivan added 10. O’Sullivan went on to play for Ireland’s National Team. DONS USE TIME OFF TO GIVE BACK: Two weeks ago, the University of San Francisco volunteered to serve free meals at Glide Memorial Church. The Glide Foundation is a highly visible and historically significant service organization in downtown San Francisco. As part of the life of the City, the program welcomed the chance to support Glide’s services. USF team values service and is committed to helping better the community that supports the team. A dozen members of the Women’s Soccer team and staff worked with the staff of Glide and other volunteers to serve over 700 meals in the course of two hours. Glide serves three meals a day to over 2,000 people. In the month of September alone, Glide has served over 59,000 meals. KRIESER MAKES IMPACT IMMEDIATELY: Freshman forward Mackenzie Krieser has made an immediate impact for the Dons, starting all 13 matches of her young career. The Medford, Ore. native has proven to be a force to be reckoned with, scoring four goals while adding two assists for 10 points. The 10 points marks the most for a Don in a single season, since Chelsea Hunt posted a dozen in 2006. In 2003, Shuree Hyatt posted 20 points marking the last time a newcomer led the team with double-digit points.
