USC senior midfielder Brittany Kerridge led the offensive charge once again for the Trojans, finishing with two crucial assists and adding a goal of her own in a winning road trip for USC last week. For her efforts, Kerridge earned national recognition on the Soccer America Team of the Week and as a Primetime Performer of the Week from CollegeSoccer360.com.
Kerridge assisted on the game-winning goal on a visit to No. 17 Illinois, then drilled a penalty kick that gave USC some breathing room in a 3-1 win that snapped the Illini's four-game winning streak and captured an important upset win for USC. Two days later in the conclusion of the Illini/Boilermaker Cup, Kerridge dished out another assist - her fourth of the season and second of the weekend - on USC's equalizer at Purdue to give the Trojans life for an eventual overtime victory.
Kerridge leads USC in goals (3) and assists (4) with her productive road weekend. She also was named to the All-Tournament Team for her efforts vs. Illinois and Purdue. The wins also turned the tide on a tough start to the season for USC, which has now claimed three straight wins to hold a 3-3 overall record.
Kerridge and the Trojans now set up camp at McAlister Field as hosts of the Trojan Invitational, where USC will clash with No. 4 Oklahoma State at 3:30 p.m. on Friday (Sept. 9) and then goes up against Texas at 12:30 p.m. on Sunday (Sept. 11).
