The Dons
This will be USF's first competition since the 2020 spring season was cut short due to the COVID-19 pandemic. San Francisco competed in seven tournaments in 2019-20 and finished among the top-10 in all but one. The Dons finished the season with a team average of 299.6. It marked the second time in head coach Sara Doell's tenure that the Dons averaged under 300 as a team. USF will start Annika Borrelli, Pearl Rojanapeansatith, Joan Soewondo, Hannah Zeman and Toni Sottile – all returners from last year's team.
 
From the Desk of Sara Doell
"We played a solid practice round (Sunday) and the team looks great. It has been almost a year since we have competed as a team and they are pumped and ready to go.
 
"This golf course is a very fair test of golf with big fairways and undulated greens that are often protected by bunkers. We'll need to be accurate and consistent from the start this week.
 
"We are grateful to be back out on the course again and are excited to see what the season has in store."
