Dons Close At Season With A Pair
San Francisco travels to league-leading Pepperdine USF hosts Senior Day Sunday against Roadrunners GAME NOTES THIS WEEK: San Francisco will conclude the 2011 season, splitting time between the road and the friendly confines of the Hilltop. The Dons will travel to league-leading Pepperdine, November 4, before returning for a non-conference match-up with Cal State Bakersfield at 1 p.m. The contest with the Roadrunners will make the annual Senior Day on the Hilltop. LAST WEEK: The Dons dropped two West Coast Conference matches at home last weekend. USF opened the weekend hosting league newcomer BYU, falling 5-1 before dropping a 1-0 decision to Saint Mary’s Sunday. SENIOR DAY: Sunday, the USF women’s soccer team will be honoring it’s three seniors - Merritt Peterson, Keonna Robinson and Joan Piasta. Peterson is a four-year letterwinner for the Dons, appearing in 29 matches. She has earned one career point thanks to an assist against San Francisco State as a sophomore. Robinson is a four-year letterwinner on the HIlltop. She has appeared in 64 matches for the Dons, earning nine career points thanks to three goals and three assists. Piasta has earned three-varsity letters at USF and has made 50 career starts. She has also recorded six career points, thanks to a goal and four assists. 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.
