San Francisco head women's volleyball coach Gilad Doran has announced his team's 2008 spring schedule. The Dons will open by hosting the USF Spring Tournament on April 12 followed by matches at Sacramento State on April 19 and at Santa Clara on May 3.

Bay Area squads, Sacramento State, Saint Mary's, Santa Clara, Stanford and Sonoma State, are slated to join the Dons at the April 12 tournament to be held at War Memorial Gym. Utilizing two-courts each team is scheduled to play in four contests beginning with USF versus Sacramento State and Saint Mary's versus Santa Clara at 9:30 a.m. The Dons will also compete versus Stanford at 10:30 a.m., Santa Clara at 1:30 p.m. and Sonoma State at 3:30 p.m. Competition will be interrupted at 12:30 p.m. for a one hour lunch break.
