TAMPA (March 13, 2023) – The University of South Florida Bulls return to Tampa for a five-game homestand beginning with a midweek series against Dartmouth.

USF will play eight of its next nine games at home and all of them in the Sunshine State.
Nolan Hudi will make Tuesday's start on the mound for the Bulls after being named the American Athletic Conference Pitcher of the Week on Monday. In his previous start last Tuesday versus Pitt, Hudi struck out a career-high 10 batters without issuing a walk in a 2-1 victory.
