🔼 Continued Success. USC women’s golf head coach Justin Silverstein, who led the Trojans to four tournament wins, including a first-place finish at the NCAA East Lansing Regional, was named to the Jackie Steinmann WGCA National Coach of the Year watch list. During his six years with the Trojans, Silverstein has been nominated for the award four times and has never had a season where USC has not won a postseason event.

🔼 One Last Time. USC baseball will host Utah for the final Pac-12 series of the regular season. The Trojans come into the matchup on a three-game win streak where the team has scored nine or more runs in each outing. USC will be looking to improve its seeding for the Pac-12 Tournament and will honor the 50th anniversary of the 1974 National Championship squad before Friday’s game.

🔼 Top Of The Games. You can’t mention the Olympics without thinking of all the former Trojans who have seen success. On sports’ biggest stage, USC athletes have won a gold medal in each Olympics since 1912, and have the most gold medals (and overall medals) of any U.S. university.

While Trojans are training to qualify for the Olympics, make a gift by May 31 and double your impact through the Sykes Family Olympic and Paralympic Match!
