No. 2 USC Women’s Water Polo Opens 2023 With Two Big Wins At Lancer Joust
January 27, 2023 | Women's Water Polo
Trojans take down Pacific and Biola in Riverside.
RIVERSIDE, CALIF. — The No. 2 USC women's water polo team got in a groove to kick off its 2023 campaign on a winning note, snagging a pair of wins to open action at the Lancer Joust today in Riverside, Calif. The well-balanced effort saw 15 different Trojans score goals and three USC goalies in the water as USC beat No. 19 Pacific 16-6 and Biola 20-6 at Lancer Aquatic Center.
USC earned an early 3-0 lead on the Tigers with goals from Paige Hauschild, Isabel Zimmerman and Julia Janov, but in the second half Pacific was able to draw even at 6-6 during the third. The Trojans responded with a four-goal outburst, with Alejandra Aznar striking twice, Mireia Guiral issuing a blast and Tilly Kearns letting one fly to net a 10-6 lead for USC. The Trojans would keep the Tigers quiet throughout USC's rally, taking that advantage into the fourth. The hits kept coming for the Trojans as they found their groove, extending the surge to 10 straight scores thanks to three apiece from Bayley Weber and Paige Hauschild, and USC was enjoying a 16-6 lead with 2:11 to go in the game. As USC's defense continued to deter the Tigers, the Trojans emerged with the resounding win after holding Pacific scoreless for the last 10 minutes of action.
USC made it a total team effort in the next bout, getting 13 Trojans in on the scoring action while two goalies made their USC debuts in the cage to help key a 20-6 win over Biola. USC scored the first six goals of that one, with newcomer Fanni Musznay plugging in her first goal as a Trojan in that opening rally. By the final buzzer, three other Trojans had registered their first career goals at USC. Freshman Maggie Johnson led the pack with three, with Molly Glad adding two and Alex Bonaguidi tallying one along the way. Redshirt freshman goalies Laine Hourigan and Sofia Stein split time in the cage to back up the USC effort, each making their first saves as Trojans today.
NEXT:
USC turns to day two of action at the Lancer Joust tomorrow (Jan. 28), taking on No. 8 Long Beach State at 9:15 a.m. before facing host California Baptist at 1 p.m.
NOTABLE:
- Four players scored their first goals as Trojans today vs. Biola: FR Maggie Johnson (3), RS FR Molly Glad (2), FR Alex Bonaguidi (1) and SO Fanni Musznay (1).
- SO Isabel Zimmerman scored a career-high three goals vs. Biola.
- RS FR goalies Laine Hourigan and Sofia Stein each had a save in their first action as Trojans, sharing time vs. Biola.
