USF rebounded well Sunday, taking down a talented Kent State team, 4-1. Mackenzie Krieser, Jaciara Mello, Christina Moberg, and Connor call scored for the Dons. KRIESER MAKES IMPACT IMMEDIATELY: Freshman forward Mackenzie Krieser has made an immediate impact for the Dons, starting all five matches of her young career. The Medford, Ore. native has proven to be a force to be reckoned with, scoring two goals while adding two goals for six points. Sunday, against Kent State, Krieser recorded her first multi-point match of her career, thanks to an early goal and an assist late in the match. TRIO OF DONS EARN ALL-TOURNAMENT HONORS IN BERKELEY: Mackenzie Krieser, Christina Moberg, and Jaciara Mello each were named to the Cal Invitational All-Tournament team thanks to their efforts over the weekend. Krieser led the Dons with a goal and two assists, while Mello and Moberg each added a tally in USF’s 4-1 victory over Kent State Sunday. ZABALA NAMED TO CAL ATHLETICS HOF: Maite Zabala returns to the HIlltop for her fifth season as an assistant this year, only with a new accolade and a new title. Over the summer, Zabala was named as one of the newest members of the Cal Athletics Hall of Fame. The former goalkeeper for the Bears will be enshrined into the Hall this fall. A two-time first-team All-Pac-10 performer, Zabala was an outstanding goalkeeper for the Bears from 1997-2000. She helped Cal to three NCAA Tournaments, including a school-record 17 wins in 2000, and finished her career as the program’s all-time leader in shutouts (26.5) and saves (277). BYU JOINS THE WCC: The West Coast Conference will have a new look this season, as Brigham Young joins the league for its inaugural season.

CHANGES IN THE WOMEN’S SOCCER STAFF: As head coach Mark Carr enters his fifth year on the Hilltop, his staff will have a new look. During the offseason, Carr promoted Maite Zabala to Associate Head Coach, while naming a new Assistant Coach, Katie Burton. An experienced assistant and a former college standout at Sacramento State, Burton spent last season as an assistant coach at UNLV.
