🔼 Best of the Bunch. USC lacrosse attacker Ella Heaney was named to the ILWomen All-American Honorable Mention list, and Heaney, alongside defender Alexis Niblock, was named to the IWLCA All-West/Midwest Region Second Team. Heaney, the Pac-12 Attacker of the Year, was selected as a second-team member of the regional squad. Niblock was also chosen as a second-team recipient after earning All-Pac-12 First-Team status. 

🔼 Fresh New Sideline. USC men’s basketball head coach Eric Musselman announced the addition of assistant coaches Will Conroy, Todd Lee, Michael Musselman, Quincy Pondexter and Anthony Ruta, as well as director of sports performance Andre Carrera and director of operations Caleb Cline to its staff. After being named the head coach on April 4, Musselman immediately began the process of assembling an elite staff for the basketball program. Musselman and his staff have also worked tirelessly to revamp the USC men's basketball roster for the 2024-25 season, which will also be announced in the near future.

🔼 Game Won. Trojan baseball came through in the clutch, scoring four runs in the eighth inning to secure the 6-5 win over Utah in game one of the final Pac-12 regular season series. Bryce Grudzielanek led the offense, going 3-for-4 at the plate with three RBI while Austin Overn joined him with a three-hit night of his own that included two doubles.
