🔼 She Did It! Women’s basketball player Jazzy Davidson was named the USBWA Tamika Catchings National Freshman Player of the Year. This season, she led USC in every major statistical category. Davidson became the first freshman in the last 25 years to post a 30-point, 5-rebound, 5-assist stat line in an NCAA Tournament debut. Her 31 points marked the most ever by a USC freshman in NCAA Tournament play and the second-most by any Trojan in tournament history.

🔼 Honored. The men’s swim and dive team is competing in the NCAA Championships. Michal Chmielewski earned Second Team All-American honors and got a new program record in the 100y butterfly. Moritz Wesemann earned back to back First Team All-American honors.
