🔼 First Things First. Fresh off setting the USC women's basketball program record for quickest player to 1,000 career points, sophomore guard JuJu Watkins has earned her first weekly award from the Big Ten Conference with her selection to the Big Ten Women's Basketball Weekly Honor Roll. She averaged 21.5 points, seven assists, five steals and 1.5 blocks per game in USC's two wins this week.

🔼 Watch Out. USC redshirt sophomore quarterback Jayden Maiava has been added to the Polynesian Player of the Year Award Watch List after his Trojan starting debut in USC's 28-20 victory over Nebraska on Saturday. In his first career start as a Trojan, Maiava went 25-for-35 for 259 yards with three touchdown passes and one rushing score. The Trojan quarterback joins USC wide receiver Makai Lemon and linebacker Mason Cobb on the watch list. 

🔼 The Road To Glory. This week, USC women’s tennis junior Grace Piper will compete at the NCAA Singles Championship. Piper qualified for both individual events at the NCAA Championships (she previously qualified in doubles alongside her partner Lily Fairclough) and will compete for multiple titles.
