DONS AT A GLANCE:

• In their last time out on the pitch, the Dons shutout Saint Mary's in a 3-0 win last Saturday night at Negoesco Stadium. Marissa Vasquez recorded her first brace of the season and the third of her career with two goals in the 19^th and 42^nd minutes of the match, with her performance earning her WCC Offensive Player of the Week honors.
• San Francisco is heading into Spokane on a two-game win streak as the green and gold shut out both No. 13 Santa Clara, 3-0, and Saint Mary's in a two-game home stand. Overall, the Dons have bounced back following a slow start to the year as USF is 4-1 over their last five games.
• A victory on Saturday would give San Francisco its first three-game win streak since 2019, when the Dons followed a season-opening loss with four victories in a row.

SCOUTING THE BULLDOGS:

• Gonzaga's returns to Spokane after a Wednesday night victory at Portland, where defender Grace Courter scored the game-winning goal in the 80^th minute to defeat the Pilots, 2-1.
• The Bulldogs are also heading into Saturday's matchup on a two-game win streak, along with a 2-0 conference record, tied for the best in the WCC, and the second-best overall record in the conference (9-2-1).
• Offensively, Gonzaga sits atop the conference in total goals so far this season with 41, which is also good for third-most in the nation.

SERIES HISTORY:

• Dating back to 1993, San Francisco holds a lead over Gonzaga in the head-to-head series with a record of 18-10-2 against the Bulldogs. The Dons are looking for their first win over GU since Mar. 16, 2021, when the green and gold shutout the Zags, 3-0, at Negoesco Stadium.
