🔼 Keep On Rollin’. The No. 19 Trojans continued to roll after recording their third shutout in four games en route to a 3-0 victory over Washington. Izzy Kimberly put USC ahead early with a nifty sixth minute goal and became the 10th different player to score on the season. Florianne Jourde and Helena Sampaio added the Trojans second and third goals of the game within a span of two minutes to seal the deal.

USC’s defense stifled Washington, allowing just six shots all game with only one on target. The Women of Troy will look to extend their win streak to five against Oregon on Thursday afternoon.

🔼 Like Fine Nine. While repping pink in the Pink Match, the Trojans captured their ninth victory in a row against Colorado to remain undefeated in conference play. USC took the four-set win behind Skylar Fields’ 24th 20+ kill game and Mia Tuaniga’s season-high five service aces.

When all was said and done, USC held the edge in kills (59-37), assists (56-36) and digs (38-27) - all which led to a win. For USC’s attempt to reach 10 wins in a row, the Trojans will take on Arizona State.

🔼 Home Sweet Home. In a top-10 matchup against Pacific, the No. 3 Trojans took care of business and won convincingly to claim their 10th win of the season. USC outscored their opponents 8-3 in the first quarter, setting the tone for the rest of the game. Both Max Miller and Joshua Waldoch finished with hat-tricks, with Miller putting together three goals in the game’s first three minutes.

Think you got it? Scroll on down to the bottom of this email for the answer!

⚔️ ONE BIG THING

The No. 9 Trojans went into Boulder, CO and came away with their fifth straight victory of the season after a hard-fought 48-41 win.

Caleb Williams put together another Heisman worthy performance with 400+ yards and six passing touchdowns on the day, tying his career-high. Ten different receivers hauled in passes, but none more than Tahj Boyd who caught eight passes for 117 yards and a score. The defense came up big when needed with eight total tackles for loss and Christian Rolland-Wallace coming away with an interception.

Still undefeated in conference play, the Trojans will get to stay home to face off against Arizona.
