After their practice in Clearwater Beach Wednesday, Darek chatted with defender Morgan Anderson (on right in photo) and blocker Sasha Pasloski about the tremendous season so far as USF is 12-4, and the anticipation of playing a first-ever home match. Note that there will be a beach volleyball stadium ready on campus for the 2027 season but for this inaugural year the Bulls will play twice in Clearwater. This weekend's action begins Friday at 9:45 a.m. against Sam Houston State, with two matches both Friday and Saturday as the Bulls look to extend an 8-match win streak.

A full Wednesday program begins with some big news, as Rob Higgins announces that Kristy Curry - who led Alabama to six NCAA appearances after the Tide had gone more than 20 years without making the tourney, and before that had terrific success at Texas Tech and Purdue (national runner-up) - is the new Head Coach of Women's Basketball. After that, a program-record 54-hold score lands Women's Golf its first victory of the season! Baseball wins 7-3 at FGCU, Darek recaps that before giving you a full conference update in both baseball and softball. Also, sprinting standout Jaleel Croal lands the top conference weekly honor, and we end with Beach Volleyball readying for its first home event of Year One.

NOTE - the show was posted before the news that Chris Mack has been named Men's Basketball Coach. That story will be covered fully on Friday's Bulls Beat.

A lot of great going on at Corbett Stadium, and wherever lacrosse plays these days.

Darek caught up Tuesday with a trio of defenders and midfielders, the positions that were instrumental in securing a massive 9-7 victory vs. conference favorite JMU Saturday. Zimmerman and Bustamante both hail from Long Island, with Zimmerman in her third year as a Bull after starting off at Colorado while Bustamante is in his first season at USF. Natoli, an every-game starter on D, was originally recruited by Head Coach Mindy McCord to Jacksonville but never played there, choosing to follow McCord after she was named the Bulls' leader.

Spybey, a former Junior College All-American from Alabama, shot 2-over par rounds to start off at the Linger Longer Invitational in Georgia before going off with a 9-under 63 Sunday, His score along with Wilhelm Ryding's -5 shot the Bulls from 9th to a T4 finish as the Bulls round into shape - and head closer to top-40 in the country - despite losing two-time conference player of the year Jake Peacock and several other veterans.

Senay threw 8 2/3 innings Saturday in a 2-0 shutout of Rice, and is 4-0 with an incredible 0.68 ERA. The freshman from Orlando's East River High School sat down with Darek after practice Monday afternoon. The Bulls are 20-4, nationally ranked and heading to FGCU for their next action Tuesday evening.

After telling you about Bryan Hodgson's heading to Providence, Darek gets into all the events of another packed weekend starting with two outstanding performances - by lacrosse to beat perennial NCAA tourney team JMU, and a school record tying 9-under par score turned in by Jackson Spybey as men's golf surged in Georgia. Baseball wins 2 of 3 vs. Rice while softball just fell short of a series victory at Tulsa. Track and Field hosted an event and turned in several victories.

(NOTE - the show has been updated Tuesday morning to include full recaps of the baseball and softball series along with women's golf having a fantastic Monday)
