🔼 More Trophies. Junior Catherine Park picked up her fourth career win (tied for fifth most in program history) and helped lead USC women’s golf to its second straight season-opener win as it took home the Leadership and Golf Invitational team title on Tuesday at Chambers Bay. Park put herself amongst elite company, as she is now sixth in program history with four wins. Sophomore Bailey Shoemaker also had a big afternoon, as she produced her fourth career top-ten finish after putting together two straight rounds under par. The victory marked the first time the Trojans have won two straight opening weekend tournaments since the 2016-17 & 2017-18 seasons.

🔼 Keep On Keeping On. The USC women's soccer team continues Big Ten play on the road this week, heading to Purdue on Thursday, followed by a match at Indiana on Sunday. Purdue and USC have met each of the last two seasons, once in West Lafayette and last season at USC. These meetings were split with USC winning at home last year (4-0) and Purdue taking the match in 2022 (3-0). Overall, the Trojans lead the series 3-1, dating back to their first matchup in 2010.

🔼 The Slate Is Set. Coming off a historic run to the 2024 NCAA Elite Eight, the USC women's basketball program will set its course toward another successful showing when the 2024-25 season gets underway. The Women of Troy have their nonconference schedule in place, which opens with a trip to Paris and wraps with a visit to UConn. In between those exciting nonconference bookends, USC has seven home games set for Galen Center, along with two games in Palm Springs. The 2024-25 Women of Troy will make their debut in Paris in an Aflac Oui-Play Game against Ole Miss on Nov. 4 before returning stateside for a four-game home stand from Nov. 9-23.
