The two-day meet starts with the throwers in action on Friday, followed by the full team hitting the track on Saturday.

The No. 11 ranked Warriors head to Southern California this weekend for four big GSAC games. First up will be a doubleheader with the No. 7 ranked Royals of Hope International. This will be the first time Jessup will see the Royals since the GSAC Tournament last year when HIU ended Jessup's season.
 
Jessup then visits (RV) Vanguard in Costa Mesa on Saturday for a second GSAC doubleheader. The Warriors split their four games with the Lions in 2023, while both games in Costa Mesa were stretched to extra innings.
 
Vanguard enters the week 4-0 in GSAC play and will host Menlo on Friday. The Warriors are 2-0 to start the GSAC season after sweeping Menlo last weekend. HIU comes in .500 at 2-2.
