ALL-TIME SERIES AGAINST SAN FRANCISCO

LOOKING AHEAD
• San Diego will finish up the regular season with two home games against LMU and Pepperdine.
• The Toreros continue to remain in second place in the WCC standings and would currently win the tie with BYU to earn the two seed in the conference tournament. If San Diego is able to maintain the second seed, the Toreros would earn a triple bye in March and would only have to win one contest to appear in the WCC Championship.
• Head coach Cindy Fisher is only four wins away from securing her seventh 20-win season at USD. Fisher currently sits at 337-267 as a head coach in NCAA Division I, notching 278 wins at San Diego.
