🔼 The More The Merrier. USC women's basketball's backcourt is getting an extra boost with the signing of Talia Von Oelhoffen as a grad transfer to join the Women of Troy for the 2024-25 season. An All-Pac-12 Team selection in her junior season at Oregon State, she helped the Beavers reach the NCAA Elite Eight this past season.

🗣️ "I think we'll see her thrive in an uptempo system, and she's gifted at making those around her better. She's coming to USC to help us win at the highest levels and will provide leadership that's so important to any team with championship aspirations. I cannot wait to have her in a Trojan uniform." - Lindsay Gottlieb, head coach

⚔️ ONE BIG THING

Not one, not two, not three…

The Women of Troy captured a fourth-straight NCAA Championship after downing UCLA on the sands of Gulf Beach Place. USC went perfect during the tournament — going 12-0 to earn the seventh national title in program history. Just like they did in 2023, Audrey and Nicole Nourse delivered the clinching blow from the No. 3 position with a three-set win, 22-20, 15-21, 15-11. The victory made the twins 32-7 to conclude the season on a nine-match win streak.

USC brings home the 38th national championship won by a women's team, and the 113th NCAA championship all-time.
