No. 2 USC Surges Into MPSF Semifinals With 19-4 Win Over Indiana
April 26, 2019 | Women's Water Polo, Features
Trojans make a 12-0 rally to take full control in Palo Alto.
PALO ALTO, CALIF. — The No. 2 USC women's water polo team spread the scoring wealth among 10 Trojans in hitting the gas into an MPSF semifinal slot with a 19-4 quarterfinal win over Indiana today at Avery Aquatic Center. Paige Hauschild paced USC with another four-goal outburst, and goalies Amanda Longan and Holly Parker shared time in the cage to help lock down the Trojan victory. USC improves to 24-1 overall with the win.
After an opening goal from Maud Megens, the Hoosiers manufactured back-to-back goals to take a 2-1 lead over the Trojans five minutes into action. That rattled USC's cage enough to spur the Trojans on to a 12-goal scoring onslaught. Hauschild had three during the rally, and Alejandra Aznar plugged in two as USC built out a 13-2 lead in just over an eight-minute span. Indiana broke up the run with 2:47 to go in the first half, but Courtney Fahey rocked in her second of the day to make it 13-3 USC before Longan wrapped the half with a 5-meter penalty shot save.
USC shut out the Hoosiers in the third while Bayley Weber knocked in her second, Hauschild her fourth and Stein her second, and USC was up 17-3 entering the fourth to keep USC in cruise control for a final 19-4 victory.
No. 2 seeded USC now sets up to face either No. 3 seed UCLA or No. 6 Arizona State in the semifinals tomorrow (April 27) at 12:45 p.m. at Stanford's Avery Aquatic Center.
