🔼 Repping Her Country. The Canadian Women’s National Soccer Team will feature a familiar face at the 2024 Paris Olympics. USC’s own Simi Owujo was named to the Olympic roster for the first time in her career. She is one of four midfielders named to the 18-player roster with six starts and one international goal.

🔼 Protector of the Net. USC soccer will have a new player in net for the 2024 season after signing transfer, Phoebe Carver. Carver joins the Trojans after playing her freshman season in Fayetteville, where she started 14 games for the top 25-ranked Arkansas Razorbacks. During her first season, the newest Trojan posted an 8-2-0 record in goal, with six shutouts and a 0.67 goals-against average.

🗣️ "We are so excited to sign Phoebe. She is an experienced goalkeeper who led Arkansas to the SEC final and the second round of the NCAA Tournament. She brings a competitiveness and grit that will surely have a positive impact on our goalkeeping environment." - Jane Alukonis, head coach
