🔼 Keep It Rolling. The Women of Troy have two games on tap this week, starting with a Tuesday meeting against California Baptist at 6:30 p.m. at the Galen Center. No. 6 USC is coming off two convincing wins at the Women’s Acrisure Holiday Invitational where the team outscored its opponents 188-116. The Trojans enter the game against the Lancers with a 6-1 record in due part to the dynamic duo of JuJu Watkins and Kiki Iriafen who have scored in double digits in all seven games this season.

🔼 Golden Trojans. USC women's water polo was well represented on the gold-medal stand at the Pan American Championships, with four Trojans having helped Team USA to gold at the event in Colombia.
