The 4-0 San Francisco beach volleyball team takes to their home court in Piper Park Wednesday, hosting the one-day USF Invitational. USF went undefeated in its matches at the Stanford Invitational, downing No. 16 Pacific, its third win in program history over a ranked opponent to start the season. The Dons also earned victories against regional foes Saint Mary's, Sacramento State and San Jose State.

"We are very excited to host on our home court the first of two total home dates we have this season," noted co-head coach Gilad Doron. " We are hoping for a good showing, and looking for our team to continue to grow and improve from our first weekend on the sand."
