🔼 Strong Start. The Trojans were hot through round one, finishing the day in first place at the Chevron Silverado Showdown. Senior Brianna Navarrosa led the charge after putting up a 68 (-4) through her first 18 holes — good enough for second place. Catherine Park sits not too far behind after going 3-under-par. The Women of Troy head into day two, hoping to defend their lead starting at 9:42 a.m.

🔼 Taking On The Anteaters. After a weekend sweep of the Washington Huskies, USC baseball will gear back up for a midweek matchup against UC Irvine at Page Stadium. The two programs will meet for the 75th time as the Trojans come into the game on fire having won six of their last seven games, 12 of their previous 16 and taken three of their last four conference series.
