USC went 1-1 last weekend, as the Trojans faced Pac-12 Bay rivals No. 18 Stanford and Cal.
The Trojans fell 4-3 to Stanford (4-3) as USC dropped the doubles point, rebounded in singles to tie things up, but ultimately came up short in the hunt for a comeback victory.
A day later, USC put together a comeback for the ages against Cal, erasing a three-point deficit by winning four straight singles matches to solidify the 4-3 conference victory.
