� McDonald recently had, what was at that point, a career outing in USF’s loss to
No. 8/8 Notre Dame on Feb. 5 ... Against the Fighting Irish, McDonald recorded a
then career-best 14 points on 6-7 shooting (85.7 percent) from the field ... She also
had a career-high three steals and swatted two shots in 25 minutes during her fifth
career start.

a new career-high for points with 15 on 6-9 shooting from the field (66.7 percent)
and 3-3 (100.0 percent) from the charity stripe.
� Although she didn’t have big numbers, McDonald had an impressive collegiate
debut for the Bulls vs. Jacksonville on Nov. 12 ... In just 23 minutes of play,
McDonald scored seven points - on 3-3 shooting from the field - and shared team-
high rebounding honors with eight ... Of her eight rebounds, five came on the offen-
sive glass.

game ... She recorded six points, five rebounds and three blocked shots in a career-
high 28 minutes ... She was also 3-6 from the field.

2010-11 USF Bulls Women’s Basketball
USF WBB Inks Another Solid Recruiting ClassUniversity of South Florida head women’s basketball coach Jose Fernandez
announced another solid recruiting class during the Fall 2010 early signing period.
Fernandez announced the signing of three players to National Letters of Intent.
The Bulls have inked 6-4 center Caitlin Rowe from Canberra, Australia (Gulf Coast
C.C./Lake Ginninderra College), 5-10 guard Tamara Taylor (St. Petersburg,
Fla./Boca Ciega H.S.) and 5-7 guard Shalethia Stringfield (Jacksonville,
Fla./Potter’s House Christian H.S.).
Rowe is a very mature student-athlete and has developed her skills on the hard-
wood at Gulf Coast Community College (GCCC) in Panama City, Fla. She carries her
outstanding work ethic onto the floor, and competes at the highest level. Rowe
played for Australia’s under-20 national team and was among the leaders in the U-
20 world championships in points (2nd averaging 20.2 ppg), rebounds (1st averag-
ing 13 rpg) and blocked shots (1st averaging 2.0 bpg). She has a great face up
game, soft touch to about 16 feet and can catch and finish in traffic.
At GCCC, Rowe averaged 3.5 points, 3.2 rebounds and 0.7 blocked shots per game
– second on the team – while helping the Commodores to a 32-1 record and the
National Junior College Athletic Association National Championship with current
USF standouts, and twin sisters, Andrea and Andrell Smith.
So far this season, Rowe is netting 6.3 points per game and 3.3 rebounds per out-
ing. She also leads the team in blocked shots (1.3 bpg) and is second in assists (1.7
apg).
“Caitlin will bring added depth to our front line and brings a wealth of experience
from Gulf Coast Community College,” said Fernandez. “She won a national junior
college championship as a freshman and her experience playing international
basketball, and going up against high-level competition, will make her an immedi-
ate contributor to our program. She is able to guard interior post players because
of her size and offensively she can create mismatch problems because she can step
out and shoot the three.”
Taylor is an athletic off-guard who flourishes in an up-tempo style of offense,
which will be ideal here at USF. Her biggest offensive threat is her ability to catch
and shoot from very deep range. Tamara led her team to the 5A state champi-
onship game last year scoring a combined 39 points in the semifinals and finals.
She is a back to back First Team All-Pinellas County selection.
“One thing that Tamara does extremely well is shoot the ball from the perimeter,”
said Fernandez. “She scores points in bunches and it’s always great to sign a play-
er of her caliber especially being a local player from the bay area that can come
in and help us with our perimeter shooting. That’s one of the areas that we need-
ed to address with this class.
Stringfield is an extremely tough combo-guard that penetrates and finishes in traf-
fic, a one-on-one creator with consistent offensive game, an excellent on-ball
defender. In addition, goes well beyond the three-point arc.
Stringfield came into her senior year at Potter’s House Christian ranked as the 19th
best guard in America and the 95th best player overall in America by ESPN
HoopGurlz.
“Shalethia will fit into the way we play because she is an up-tempo guard,” said
Fernandez. “She can defend all 94-feet. I really compare her to a player that we
had a few years ago here, Anedra Gilmore. She has the same similar playing style
and athleticism and she brings a lot of intensity on the floor. The good thing about
Shalethia is that she is a freshman and we will have her for four years.”

Tiffany Conner Notes � Tiffany Conner, widely considered by the coaching staff as one of the hardest
working players on the team, recorded a career-high 14 points against Morgan State
on Nov. 20 ... Conner was the only player on the roster, that night, that had a
decent shooting game ... She was 5-8 from the field, including 4-7 from behind the
three-point arc ... Her four treys against the Bears also marked a career-high.
� Conner is third on the team in steals with 29 on the year ... She has recorded at
least one steal in 14 of the 24 games she has played in this year, and has had mul-
tiple steals in 10 games.
� Conner played her first game against Seton Hall on Jan. 25 after sitting out two
games - against Marquette on Jan. 16 and West Virginia on Jan. 22 - after suffering
a concussion against DePaul on Jan. 11.
