🔼 Broomsticks. The Women of Troy came away from hosting the Trojan Invitational this weekend with a squeaky clean 3-0 record, a tournament title, and a 4-4 record on the season.

The Trojans recorded two sweeps against both UC Davis and Marist while Sunday’s match against San Diego was a 3-1 win in favor of USC. Skylar Fields, Gala Trubint and Lindsey Miller were named to the All-Tournament Team.

🤽‍♂️ In a rematch against the title winners last season on Saturday, California bested the Trojans in their first MPSF match of the year. Massimo Di Martire scored a team-high two goals for the Trojans, and Zach Bettino, Luka Brnetic, and Reed Stemler added the other goals for USC on the match.

🤽‍♂️ The Trojans came out on top against No. 8 UC Irvine in a close one. USC came back from a two goal deficit to take the match 12-10 behind four fourth period goals.

🔼 Gone Back to Back. USC cross country did something that hasn’t been done in eight years: have back-to-back finishes in the Top-5. Freshman Angelina Vasquez and Marjourie Lopez led the Women of Troy to a third place tie in points, and fourth by the tiebreaker.

🗣️ “I love how we followed the game plan of being together the first half of the race. Overall, it was a job well done from we are working on right now with our team.” - Head coach Jebreh Harris
