🔼 The State of Troy. “There is no month like November in college athletics. Fall sports are in full force, winter competitions are underway, and the planning, preparation, and training for spring programs is only increasing. Our student-athletes are hard at work, and their competitive spirit – in the classroom, in competition, and across the community – continues to inspire us all. All the while, our entire staff is hard at work supporting their efforts, and I am so grateful for their commitment to USC Athletics.” - Jennifer Cohen, USC Athletic Director

🔼 Terrific Trio. Winners of three straight MPSF Tournament titles and now bound for its 20th consecutive NCAA Tournament, the USC men's water polo team has three Trojans on the 2024 MPSF All-Tournament Team, led by MVP Carson Kranz. He's the ninth Trojan to be named MPSF Tournament MVP, and he's joined on this year's All-Tournament Team by teammates Max Miller and Bernardo Herzer.

🔼 A Battle Unlike Any Other. Especially today, USC football is thankful to be the ones with the Victory Bell. Check out the visual experience of The Battle of LA with this highlight tape, ‘Not Like Us’.
