🔼 All Fore The USA. Former Trojan standout golfer, and reigning 2023 U.S. Women’s Open champion, Alison Corpuz, was selected earlier this week to compete for Team USA in the Solheim Cup. She earned the spot via automatic qualification, and joins 11 other top golfers from Team USA as they look to face off against Team Europe for the 18th time in the tournament’s history.
🔼 It’s Been A Minute. The Trojan tour continues in LA this weekend with Trojan football set to square off against Nevada this Saturday at 3:30pm PST. The No. 6 Trojans hold an all-time 5-0 record on the Wolfpack.
The last time these two teams met was in 1923, so it’s safe to say that each team will get a brand new perspective on the other since the last time they played. The matchup will represent the 100th anniversary since the two teams met in the second-ever collegiate varsity football game played in the LA Memorial Coliseum.
🔼 Splash Made. Get ready to dive right into the action! USC swim and dive released the fall and spring schedules for the 2023-24 season. Both the men’s and women’s teams are coming off of above .500 seasons, with each of them going a combined 10-0 at home. Safe to say you aren’t going to want to miss any of the action when USC Swim and Dive takes place in LA.
🔼 Oh Captain, My Captain. In a season that ended so close to another USC title, USC men’s water polo has named its captains to lead them back to the NCAA title game. Seniors Carson Kranz and Max Miller will lead the way for this team this season.

Our question today — do you know how many former USC women’s golfers, including Corpuz, have been selected to Team USA for the Solheim Cup?
