🔼 How ‘Bout Them Trojans. For the first time since 2020, USC men’s golf earned a team title as the inaugural champions of the Southern Dunes Invitational. The Trojans combined for a score of 28-under par, led by senior Gavin Aurilla who finished in second place at 9-under par. Jack Jerge and Jose Antonio Safa both finished in the top 10 at 5-under par while Jackson Rivera rounded out the top-four Trojans with a 2-under par tournament. Now with a win under their belt, USC men’s golf will look to carry momentum into the Tucker Invitational next week.

🔼 Feels Good To Be Home. USC women's volleyball team will host top-ranked Pittsburgh in its home opener today at 6 p.m. in the Trojans' first Big Ten Network appearance of the season. It will be the first time since 2019 that the Women of Troy will take on the No. 1 team in the nation. Sitting at 3-1 so far this season, the Trojans are 39-9 in home openers and 3-1 all-time against the Panthers.

🔼 New Era. The Women of Troy will kick off its inaugural season of the Big Ten season this week as USC soccer prepares to take on Washington on Thursday at 6:30 p.m. The Trojans head into the matchup off a close 2-1 loss to top-ranked Stanford but overall, sit at 4-1-1 on the season. Both previous members of the Pac-12, the Trojans and Huskies have a deep history dating back to their first matchup in 1995. USC leads the all-time series (18-9-3) while being unbeaten in their last 4 matchups (3-0-1).
