ROCKLIN, Calif. – Jessup women's basketball is set to play one more game prior to the start of GSAC play. Just as you might have guessed, it comes against another NCAA Division I program, the University of San Francisco, on Friday at 2 p.m.
 
The Warriors' mantra has been "any team, anytime, and anywhere," and they have held true to that in what has been a unique season during a global pandemic.
 
Fresh Off Two Thousand Mile Road Trip
 
Most recently, the Warriors (2-5) have completed a five-game, two-thousand-mile trek across three states. Jessup took on a wide range of teams, including three from the Division I rank and a back-to-back outing at The College of Idaho.
 
Jessup was able to end their epic road trip with a 64-52 wire-to-wire win in a game they never trailed in once and led by as much as twenty-seven. It was an all-around great performance as the Warriors tied a program record with nine blocks, and they were terrific from beyond the arc, making 45-percent of their attempts.
 
A Look at The Dons
 
On the flip side, the Dons (2-2) are on a hot streak as they've won their previous two games after dropping two in a row. In their most recent game, it was a nail-biter as USF pulled out a gutsy nine-point win over Fresno State, 102-93 in double overtime.
 
The Dons are led by Ioanna Krimili, who, through four games, leads the team with 24.3 PPG. Krimili's stellar shooting of 51.9-percent from the field is aided by a 57.6-percent average from the three-point line.
 
A Look at The Warriors
 
For the Warriors, this will be their eighth game overall and their fifth against a Division I team. Over the course of the season, the Warriors are led by senior Miranda Zaragoza as she's nearly averaging a double-double with 10.3 PPG and 8.7 RPG.
 
In what is a balanced scoring attack for Jessup, freshmen Paige Winter and Maila Lepolo have also been playing well, averaging 9.8 and 7.1 PPG, respectively.

Game time on Friday is slated for 2 p.m. from the War Memorial at the Sobrato Center in San Francisco.  Live coverage, including video and stats, will be available through jessupathletics.com.
