The No. 5 women’s basketball team looks for its third straight win tonight when it takes on the University of San Francisco tonight at 7 p.m. in Maples Pavilion.
Home from the Paradise Jam in the U.S. Virgin Islands, the Cardinal hopes to extend its win streak to three in tonight’s game against San Francisco at Maples Pavilion.
After falling to No. 2 Connecticut last week, the Cardinal bounced back with wins against Old Dominion and Temple. However, coach Tara VanDerveer thinks that last week’s loss to the Huskies might be beneficial to the team tonight.
“The best thing honestly might be our loss to Connecticut,” VanDerveer said. “That might be the game that we learned the most from.”
However, the Dons (3-3) are coming off a learning experience of their own. Villanova defeated USF 73-70 in overtime on Nov. 24, and VanDerveer expects the San Francisco squad to arrive fired up as a result.
“Every game you play, whether you win or lose, impacts your next game in some way,” she said. “[USF’s loss] will be positive for them because of confidence, [since] they were so close against Villanova. But I also think...we’re a big team on their schedule, and we’re a good rival for them, so they’ll come in very excited and I think they’ll do very well.”
