TAMPA, Fla., April 15, 2026 – The University of South Florida women's lacrosse team (9-4, 4-0 American) closes out its regular-season home slate this weekend as it welcomes East Carolina (6-7, 2-2 American) for Senior Day at Corbett Stadium.
 
The matchup carries significant postseason implications for the Bulls. With a victory over ECU, USF would clinch a share of the regular season conference title—an impressive milestone that would make the Bulls just the second program in NCAA history to achieve the feat in only its second season of competition, joining Florida (2011).
 
First draw is set for Noon ET, with pregame festivities honoring the program's senior class for their contributions to USF lacrosse both on and off the field.
 
Game Details
Senior Day will also feature a special opportunity for fans in attendance. One lucky fan will win a USF football helmet signed by head coach Brian Hartline, with raffle entry available to all attendees at the game.
 
Fans are encouraged to arrive early to take part in Senior Day recognition and raffle entry, as well as to support the Bulls in a game that could make program history.

About USF Women's Lacrosse
Amidst its second season, the University of South Florida women's lacrosse program builds on a historic inaugural year that quickly established the Bulls as a contender in the American Athletic Conference. South Florida opened its first-ever season on Feb. 7, 2025, with a 19–6 win over Kennesaw State, setting the State of Florida regular-season attendance record as 2,386 fans filled Corbett Stadium. The Bulls went on to finish the 2025 season with a 13–5 record and earned a place in the American Conference Championship in their inaugural season, ultimately finishing as the league's runner-up. South Florida also drew more than 10,000 total fans to Corbett Stadium during the season. USF named Mindy McCord, an eight-time conference coach of the year, as the program's first head coach in May 2022. McCord arrived in Tampa with 240 career wins and a proven record of building successful programs after launching and leading Jacksonville University's women's lacrosse team for its first 13 seasons. During her tenure at JU, she guided the Dolphins to 21 regular-season and conference tournament titles, eight NCAA Tournament appearances, and back-to-back Sweet Sixteen berths while developing 13 All-Americans, 81 all-conference selections, and 13 conference Player of the Year honorees. South Florida plays a fast-paced, high-scoring style influenced by the early 1990s Loyola Marymount men's basketball fast break. That approach ranked among the national leaders in shots, points per game, and scoring margin during McCord's tenure at Jacksonville and continues to shape the Bulls' offensive identity heading into year two.
