🔼 Fall Finale. USC men's golf finished at one-under-par total in the final round and four-under-par for the tournament to secure fifth place at the Golf Club of Georgia Collegiate. The Trojans stood their ground in the final round, recording their third top-five finish of the fall season, besting six top-25 squads, including two top-ten teams on the final leaderboard.

🗣️ "We locked in and played three really good rounds; team depth was very apparent, and to shoot three rounds under par at this golf course is really solid. We posted four guys in the top 30, just a really good week for our program." - Mark Hankins, head coach

🔼 Moving On. The Trojan men’s tennis upperclassmen led the way at the ITA Southwest Regional Tournament for USC this past weekend on the Arizona State campus. Graduate student Tristan Bradley scored big for the Trojans, battling from the singles qualifying bracket into the round of sixteen. Senior Karl Lee joined Bradley in the round of 16 after starting in the main draw, defeating opponents from UC Irvine and Hawaii.

🔼 A Big One. The No. 9 USC women's soccer team will play its regular season finale against No. 10 UCLA at the home of the LA Galaxy on Sunday, Oct. 27. Sunday's contest will determine the regular season Big Ten Conference Championship as USC comes in two points up on UCLA at the top of the league standings. A win or a tie for the Trojans clinches an outright conference title for the program.

🔼 Trojans Live. With USC football on a short week this week, Trojans Live will feature guests from Trojan men’s and women’s basketball, as well as soccer and women’s tennis.
