CATCHING UP WITH COACH SUNDLING:
"The Dons did a great job of bouncing back and sneaking out the win today versus Davis. We now have a little bit of a break before heading into the second half of our season. If we make the most of this time and learn from our mistakes we will be in good form heading into our next match."

USF now will take a week and a half away from competition as they now look ahead to facing the Stanford Cardinal on Tuesday, Mar. 22 at 2:30 p.m. in Palo Alto.
