🔼 Another Won. USC baseball kept its postseason run alive with a solid 4-2 win over Oregon to advance to the semifinals of the Pac-12 Tournament. The eighth victory in a row for the Trojans was marked by a pitching duel to start, followed by the bats coming to life in the sixth inning. Sparked by Ryan Jackson’s solo shot that broke the scoreless tie, four different Trojans ended the game with an RBI.

Two wins away from securing an auto bid into the NCAA Tournament, the Trojans will face off against No. 6 seed California today at 2:30 p.m.

🔼 From Ivy To The Palms. USC men’s basketball has added another standout player to its roster for the 2024-25 season with the addition of Matt Knowling. Knowling joins the team from Yale where, in his senior year, he was a unanimous All-Ivy first-team selection. He led the Ivy League and finished 10th in the nation in field goal percentage (.625), and finished ninth in the Ivy League in scoring (13.6 points per game.)

🔼 Top Ten. After their final seasons of competition with USC women's water polo, outgoing Trojans Julia Janov, Hannah Meyer and Carolyne Stern have collected a combined nine MPSF All-Academic Scholar-Athlete awards. They lead a group of 10 Trojans on that conference academic honor roll, joined by repeat honorees Emma Lawson and Isabel Zimmerman along with first-timers Alejandra Aznar, Alex Bonaguidi, Molly Glad, Maggie Johnson and Morgan Netherton.
