Game Notes
 
SAN FRANCISCO—The Dons aim to wipe the slate clean when they host Pepperdine and Loyola Marymount in West Coast Conference action this weekend.
 
San Francisco (5-8-3, 0-4-1 WCC) had a rough outing against No. 11 Santa Clara where they fell 9-0 but early on showed that they might be able to hang around with the current WCC leader. Its opponents this week are on opposite ends of the spectrum.
 
Pepperdine is sitting near the top of the conference and has a chance to capture a league title. Loyola Marymount is still searching for its first point.
 
Friday's game against Pepperdine is the WCC Game of the Week and will be broadcast on TheW.TV.
 
It is also the final homestand of the season for the Dons and Sunday will mark Senior Day for five players who have spent each of their four years on the Hilltop.
 
FINAL HURRAH
Christina Moberg, Tyler Campagna, Kelsey Moe, Kelly Hoose and Layla Martin will all participate in the final game at Negoesco Stadium on Sunday against the Lions. Each member of the quintet has left its mark on the program and in a number of ways.
 
Moberg has been named to the All-West Coast Conference second team and twice to the honorable mention squad. In her sophomore campaign, she recorded team highs in goals (5), game-winning goals (3), assists (3) and points (13).
 
Campagna was named to the WCC's All-Academic honorable mention team in her sophomore season. Entering her senior season, the biology major carries a 3.39 GPA.
 
Hoose has played a key role for the Dons in the last two seasons and has played in 34 games over the last two seasons. The Los Gatos native is also a biology major and boasts a remarkable 3.93 GPA.
 
The South Salem High graduate, Moe has had some big moments on the field. Her highlight this season was a game-winning goal on the road at Kansas to secure a 1-0 victory. She also has been outstanding in the classroom with a 3.61 GPA.
 
Martin started 11 games last season and saw action in 14. That, along with her 3.68 GPA in mathematics, helped her earn WCC All-Academic Team honors.
 
KEEPING IT CLOSE
USF has allowed one or no goals in 12 of their 16 matches this season. Madalyn Schiffel has five shutouts, which is tied for fourth in the WCC. Her 4.38 saves per game is also fourth in the conference.
 
PROTECTING NEGOESCO
San Francisco is 4-4-0 at home and has played well in those four losses. The last came against San Diego where the Dons stifled the Toreros until late in the contest.
 
ABOUT PEPPERDINE (9-5-2, 4-2-0)
All-time vs. Pepperdine: 8-10-1
The Waves have played seven ranked teams and are 2-3-1 in those matchups. The last two have come against WCC foes and have fallen to No. 25 BYU and No. 7 Portland. Pepperdine has gotten back on track and has won three straight contests and have scored at least two goals in each of those games. Lynn Williams, the Waves' leading scorer with 11 goals, left the game on Friday and did not play on Sunday against Saint Mary's. Ally Holtz stepped up in her absence and had three goals on the weekend, earning her WCC Player of the Week honors.
 
ABOUT LOYOLA MARYMOUNT (3-14-0, 0-6-0)
All-time vs. Loyola Marymount: 5-13-0
The Lions have not won a game since Sept. 1. They have lost 13 straight matchups and are 0-8 on the road. Five of the matches in that stretch were decided by one goal including its most recent contest with Pacific, with the Tigers took 1-0. LMU switched goalies against Pacific on Sunday and went with freshman Sophia Leksan, who recorded four saves on the afternoon.
 
WCC GAME OF THE WEEK
The Dons will be featured on TheW.TV for the third time this season and will be part of the WCC Game of the Week for the second time. San Francisco was on the digital network when it played host to No. 11 Cal back on Sept. 30 and then again when it traveled to Saint Mary's later that week. Charles Wollin will be on the call.
