SAN FRANCISCO—Following a long homestand, the Dons hit the road for the first time and will play Nebraska and Kansas in the Kansas Invitational this weekend.
Â
USF went 4-1-0 in its five home matches and is currently on a two-game winning streak after victories over UC Davis and Harvard in the USF Tournament last weekend. But the road will provide tougher tasks with a pair of big conference opponents coming up.
Â
They will play Nebraska (2-2-1) on Friday at 11:30 a.m. to open the weekend of action. The Cornhuskers played WCC rival BYU on Aug. 31 and dropped the contest 3-0. Since then Nebraska has had two double overtime matches but failed to come out on top in either.
Â
Freshman forward Jaycie Johnson leads the squad from Lincoln, Neb. with three goals.
Â
The Dons will then play the host team, Kansas, on Sunday at 10 a.m. The Jayhawks (3-2-1) are coming off a road trip through the Southwest where they played Arizona State and Arizona. Kansas opens the weekend by playing WCC foe San Diego on Friday.
Â
Senior Caroline Kastor, an All-Big 12 second teamer last season, has scored three goals and chipped in on two others this season.
Â
USF has never faced either opponent.
Â
The Dons have played solid defense through its first five matches and could very easily be sitting at 5-0-0. Defenders Jessica Nakae and Halle Bissin have played well of late and goalie Madalyn Schiffel has been as Head Coach jim Millinder advertised before the season.
Â
Schiffel has allowed two goals through those five contests and is ranked 29th in the nation in goals against average (0.391) and 47th in save percentage (0.875).
Â
This weekend starts a stretch of five straight games away from Negoesco Stadium.
