🔼 Flipped The Switch. After a back-and-forth first half, USC men’s basketball put up 50 points in the second half and locked down CSUN to earn the 90-69 victory at the Galen Center. Chibuzo Agbo finished with a game-high 23 points after tying his career-high six three-pointers while Desmond Claude tacked on another 21 points. The win moves the Trojans to 8-4 on the season with one final game before the turn of the new year on Dec. 22 against Southern inside the Galen Center.

🔼 Rolling On In. Even after winning the Ray Guy Award, USC senior punter Eddie Czaplicki continues to earn more national accolades. On Wednesday, Czaplicki was named to the Sporting News All-American First Team after also being named a First Team All-American by The Athletic, making him USC's second-ever punter named to an All-American First Team. The Trojan has also been named a Second Team All-American by the AFCA FBS Coaches, Walter Camp, Sports Illustrated, College Football Network and Action Network.

🔼 Elite Status. USC volleyball setter Mia Tuaniga was selected to the AVCA All-America third team while outside hitter Ally Batenhorst earned All-America honorable mention. Tuaniga's selection makes her the program's 43rd All-American as she collects USC's 80th All-America award all-time; the 59th presented by the AVCA. Tuaniga became the Trojans' all-time assists leader in the season's final match and completed her career with 4,529 to break a mark that had been held for 13 years.

 🔼 New Role, Same Team. Following a season serving as the assistant head coach for offense/tight ends, Zach Hanson was named USC football’s offensive line coach. Hanson, regarded as one of the game's top young coaches, has produced 2 offensive line NFL Draft picks, including a first-rounder, and 7 All-American Athletic Conference offensive line selections.
