DONS AT A GLANCE:

• Following an impressive year that saw the women make their sixth appearance as a team at the NCAA Championships last spring, the Dons will aim to add to their recent success this fall. On the men's side, USF finished sixth at the WCC championships in the spring, ending a 16-year run of top-five finishes for the program at the conference championships. Saturday will mark USF's first home meet since the USF Invitational in 2019.
• Recently, Eve Jensen and Zoe Wassell were named to the 2021 Women's All-WCC Preseason Team following exceptional seasons last spring. As a team, the USF women were picked to finish third behind defending National Champion BYU and Portland while the USF men were selected to finish fifth in the conference.
• Looking ahead, the Dons will compete in three additional meets before the first round of the NCAA postseason- at the Stump Invitational (Sept. 10/Davis, Calif.), at the Dillinger Invitational (Sept. 22-23/Springfield, Ore.) and at the Bronco Invitational (Oct. 16/Santa Clara, Calif.)
