USF Softball in Action This Weekend

Gina Kafalas and company are back in action starting Friday afternoon.

The ladies are back in action on Friday afternoon as USF hosts UCONN in another key Big East series. USF is 29-16 (9-1) on the season and sits in 2nd place in the Big East conference and will try to defend its record and home turf against the lady Huskies (this begins a big 5-game home stand for the Bulls).

The Bulls are led by Stephanie Medina who is hitting an incredible .371, has driven in 48 RBIs, and has launched 8 home runs (leads the team). Gina Kafalas is doing an incredible job at the leadoff spot, hitting .367 and getting the offense going. She is also fast on the bases, giving UCONN more trouble. Janine Richardson is hitting .364 and along with the rest of the team, the Bulls are out hitting everyone and with Lindsey Richardson and Sara Nevins in the circle striking out everyone, USF is a tough team.

UCONN enters the series at 17-19 (5-5), but is only 5-6 away from home. USF is coming off of a series win over Seton Hall, despite having their 10-game winning streak snapped. The Bulls are on a hot streak right now and have to continue the recent success over the Huskies and improve their overall record as they continue to battle towards the post season.

First pitch is scheduled is for 2 PM followed by game 2 at 4 PM. Make sure to come out to the new softball stadium, enjoy the wonderful Florida weather and cheer on the ladies as they look to sweep the Huskies and try to take over 1st place in the conference, this is a huge series for the Bulls. GO BULLS!
