TAMPA (March 16, 2023) – The University of South Florida Bulls wrap up a five-game homestand with a three-game series against Army on Salute to Service Weekend in Tampa. Friday will feature a military vehicle display and the first 300 fans will receive a mini bat. On Saturday, the first 500 fans will receive a fanny pack and on Sunday, the first 250 fans will receive a dog tag.
South Florida is coming off a midweek split with Dartmouth while Army has not played since last weekend after having its midweek game postponed due to snow.
