🔼 Going Four More. Four different Trojans got in on the scoring action during the Trojans 4-0 victory over Purdue on Thursday night. Just as soon as the game kicked off, USC pulled ahead with a Hannah Griffin goal one minute into the game.
The Trojans cooled off for a bit after securing a one goal lead heading into halftime, but the girls poured it on in the second half with a trio of goals in an eight minute span of action. The win against the Boilermakers gave USC a 3-1 record heading into September where Pac-12 play will begin later in the month.

🔼 Leaders of the Pack. The age old tradition of the ‘All 21’ pic, including leaders from each of USC’s athletic programs, is officially out for the 2023-24 athletic season. Nothing more iconic than the Trojan’s top athletes out in front of The Coliseum!
🔼 Time To Run. USC women’s cross country is set to take to the starting line later this evening for the first time of the 2023 season at Charles H. Wilson Park in Torrance, California. The Trojans have revamped the roster with eight new faces on the team, including four grad transfers, one sophomore transfer, and three freshman transfers.
🗣️ “Taking that first step in competition, learning each other and learning to work with each other is important. The main thing I’m looking for from this meet is that the team is working together and learning how to compete.” - Head Coach Jebreh Harris
🔼 Tee Times. Golf is back this fall as USC women’s golf released their schedule for the 2023-24 season, and with that, can have their eyes focused on what’s ahead. The team will tee off the season at Chambers Bay on September 18th, followed by three tournaments (and one match play event against UCLA) to round out the fall season.
Come springtime (if you can call it that), the Trojans jump back on the course January 13th in a match against Texas A&M. Six more tournaments follow the match play event, including the Pac-12 Championship where the Trojans will look to defend their crown.
🔼 Lookin’ Good. The Trojan men’s water polo team is ready to get right down to business. The schedule has been released for the No. 2 squad in the nation, and they’re hungry to make a return to the NCAA title game once again.
🗣️ “The team itself is really a great group of guys to work with. The team is extremely close, the chemistry is there, and for the reason it’s great to be on the pool deck.” - Head coach Marko Pintaric
After graduating 11 players last season, the team has fully reloaded, and captains Carson Kranz and Max Miller are prepared to lead this group to the very end.
🔼 Winners. Former Trojan Robert Farah, alongside his partner Sebastian Cabal, captured an opening round win at the U.S. Open earlier this week. The Colombian duo defeated their opponents in three sets in Round 1 of action, and will square off in Round 2 later today.
