Another few weeks have gone by for USF Athletics. This ends March and now with April right around the corner all the sports are heading until the final month of their regular seasons. All three teams have done very well as they head into the final month. The one that has stood out the most has been lacrosse in their first season they have dominated most teams. The softball team continues their dominance as well. The baseball team is starting to round into shape under head coach Mitch Hannahs.

Lacrosse

Once again, the Bulls set a new program record scoring 23 goals and with the win have taken over first place in the AAC. With the 23 goals the team has scored 11+ goals in each game that they played this year. The final score was 23-9 over the Pirates. USF returned home to play the Vanderbilt Commodores during this game they appreciated the alumni. With the alumni in attendance the ladies did not disappoint as they put the Commodores away 17-7. With just five games left they have only lost two games.

Softball

The Bulls hit the road in a three-game series versus conference opponent in the Charlotte 49ers the 49ers who gave USF problems last year. This year USF got revenge in taking all three games with a double header for the last two games.
