Alissa Pili and Endyia Rogers score 18 points apiece in their Trojan debuts.
NORTHRIDGE, CALIF. — The USC women's basketball team's freshmen made their presence known in their Trojan debuts tonight in Northridge, with six young guns combining for 50 points in USC's 69-53 win at CSUN. Freshman Alissa Pili made no mistake in drumming up a double-double to pace her new-look Trojan team with 18 points and 13 rebounds. Fellow freshman Endyia Rogers matched her with 18 as well, with another newcomer — grad transfer Stephanie Watts — also tallying double digits with 12 points. It's an exciting 1-0 start for the Women of Troy, who had all eight players who hit the court score tonight to kick off the 2019-20 campaign.
USC shot at a 44.2 percent clip from the floor in the game, nailing six 3-pointers (three from Rogers, two from Watts and one from India Otto) while going 17-of-18 from the free-throw line. CSUN shot 24.4. percent from the floor, hit nine 3-pointers and was 6-of-8 from the line. CSUN was led in scoring by Jordyn Jackson with 14 points, and got 13 from De'Jionae Calloway and 11 from Deja Williams.

USC has its home opener on tap next, hosting Virginia at 2 p.m. on Saturday (Nov. 9) at Galen Center. Before the game, USC will honor Trojan great Tina Thompson (now head coach at UVA) by retiring her #14 jersey in a pregame ceremony.
