🔼 Back To Back. The No. 3 USC men's water polo team entered enemy territory and stood its ground, bolstered by a heroic seven-goal outburst by captain Max Miller, to beat host No. 2 California by a score of 13-12 in the MPSF Tournament title match in Berkeley.

It was an all-out battle to the end, featuring a disallowed USC goal, 10 tie scores, and three fourth-period lead changes before the Trojans staked their claim on their second straight MPSF crown. Now 15-6 overall, the Trojans have officially punched their 19th consecutive ticket to the NCAA Tournament, which USC will host Dec. 1-3 at Uytengsu Aquatics Center.

🔼 Split Decision. After taking down California in four sets (25-15, 25-17, 23-25, 25-22) at Galen Center on Friday, No. 24 USC women's volleyball team fell in a four-set decision (26-28, 25-14, 25-15, 32-30) to No. 2 Stanford to end its home win streak at 13 consecutive victories.

📆 The Women of Troy head to Eugene, Ore., to take on sixth-ranked Oregon at Matthew Knight Arena at 6 p.m. PT on Tuesday, Nov. 21. The match will be carried live on a Pac-12 Insider stream.

🔼 Looking Forward. Caleb Williams finished with 384 yards and a touchdown—including this 74-yard “moon ball on the money” to Brenden Rice, and Austin Jones tacked on an additional score, but it wasn’t enough as the Trojans fell 38-20 to UCLA this past weekend.

🔼 Dynamic Duo. Thanks to Boogie Ellis scoring 28 points and Isaiah Collier adding 24 of his own, No. 16 USC was able to cruise to an 81-70 victory over Brown on Sunday. And while the game was close throughout, it was the final seconds that provided the most fireworks—Ellis made a long 3-pointer off an inbounds pass by Harrison Hornery right as the shot clock expired to give USC a 79-70 lead with 33 seconds left. A few moments earlier, Brown's Felix Kloman was called for a foul and technical foul. Ellis made his two free throws and Collier made the technical free throws to give the Trojans a 76-70 lead.

📆 Up next? USC hosts Seton Hall on Thursday afternoon with a 2:30 p.m. PT tipoff.
