No. 2 USC Women’s Water Polo Maneuvers Into Triton Invite Title Match With Two Wins Today
February 04, 2023 | Women's Water Polo
Trojans will take on UCLA in the championship game at 1:30 p.m. on Sunday in La Jolla.
LA JOLLA, CALIF. — The No. 2 USC women's water polo team whipped up two more wins at the Triton Invitational today, topping No. 13 Indiana 16-7 and No. 9 UC Irvine 15-8 to take a spot in tomorrow's championship game. Grace Tehaney led the scoring charge in today's two victories with four goals in each game, with fellow super senior Bayley Weber just behind in punching up seven total goals for the Trojan cause today. The win improves USC to 7-0 overall and sends the Trojans into a bout with No. 3 UCLA in the title match tomorrow at 1:30 p.m. at UC San Diego's Canyonview Aquatic Center.
Up against Indiana to wrap up bracket play, USC came out a little slow and had to fight back to tie it up three times in the first period before Tehaney got the Trojans a late 4-3 lead to close the first. It was a 6-5 margin at halftime, and then USC made its power move in the third, knocking in six goals — three from Tehaney, two from Weber and once from Mireia Guiral — to help stoke the Trojans to a 12-7 lead entering the fourth. There, behind some stubborn goalkeeping from senior Carolyne Stern, USC shut out the Hoosiers in the last eight minutes en route to claiming a 16-7 victory that ensured a semifinal slot for USC.
The Trojans took on No. 9 UC Irvine in the afternoon semis and course-corrected early to take a 4-2 lead with opening goals from four different players. Back-to-back goals from Paige Hauschild in the second helped lift USC to an 8-5 halftime advantage over the Anteaters, and then Honnie Vandeweghe-O'Shea and Alejandra Aznar joined the scoresheet in the third as USC moved ahead 11-7 to close the third. Offense kept clicking for USC down the stretch, while the defense tightened up, and the Trojans emerged with a 15-8 win over UC Irvine to steal a spot in the final.
NEXT:
USC moves into the Triton Invitational championship game next, facing No. 3 UCLA at 1:30 p.m. at Canyonview Aquatic Center in La Jolla.
NOTABLE:
- With two goals vs. UC Irvine, SR Paige Hauschild took over as USC's No. 10 all-time scorer, now with 175 career goals.
- With eight total goals today, SR Grace Tehaney climbs to rank No. 21 all-time in scoring at USC, now with 134 career goals.
- With 10 saves vs. Indiana, SR goalie Carolyne Stern recorded her third double-digit saves outing in five appearances this season.
