WHATS THE STORY

• The Dons (5-3-0) saw their three-match winning streak come to an end on the road last weekend, as they dropped back-to-back matches in Oklahoma against the University of Oklahoma (4-1) and then-No. 21 Oklahoma State (3-0).
• USF still got off to its best start in 18 years at 5-1-0 before last weekend's road trip. The Dons also started 5-1-0 in the 2000-01 season. The team's only loss this year came on the road at No. 1-ranked and defending national champion Stanford.
• The Dons claimed two of the first four West Coast Conference Player of the Week awards with Samantha Jehnings (Aug. 13-19) and Miciah Madison (Aug. 27-Sept. 2) both earning the accolade.

TOMORROW'S GAME
The Hornets (1-5-1) have not been shutout all season, but they have only managed more than one goal in a game twice – a 3-2 home victory over Nevada on Friday and a 2-2 tie at Fresno State on Aug. 24. Four of the Hornets' five losses have come by one goal, and all four were by the score of 2-1. Eight different players have scored goals for Sacramento State. Only one has multiple goals – Christina Lazar with two. Kylee Kim-Bustillos leads the team with six points, thanks to a team-high four assists.
 
SUNDAY'S GAME
Hawaii has won or tied four of its last five matches, the only defeat coming at the hands of UC San Diego by one goal, 2-1, at home on Friday. The Rainbow Wahine are unbeaten in true road games with a 2-0-1 record. They blew out West Coast Conference opponent Pacific, 5-0, in Stockton on Sept. 2, and edged Saint Mary's, 2-1, three days before that in Moraga. Raisa Strom-Okimoto and Leialoha Medeiros lead Hawaii with three goals each, while Strom-Okimoto has added two assists for the team lead in points at eight. Alexis Mata has been Hawaii's primary goalkeeper, posting a 1.26 Goals Against Average with two shutouts and 29 saves.
 
UP NEXT
The Dons continue their home stand when they host UC Irvine on Sept. 21. That will wrap up non-conference play for USF, as current No. 7-ranked Santa Clara comes to San Francisco on Sept. 30 to kick off WCC play.
