TROJANS AT PAC-12 TOURNEYS
Since the team event began in 2012, USC has won six Pac-12 Tournament titles — 2012, 2015, 2017, 2019, 2021 and 2022 — and has reached the final every year but 2016. USC has faced UCLA five times in the title match, winning twice (2012 and 2017). In 2015, USC beat Stanford in the final, topped Cal in the 2019 title match and took down Arizona State to win the 2021 trophy. The 2020 tournament was not held due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The No. 2 seed in the 2022 tourney, USC cruised past No. seven seeded Cal, 4-0 in the quarterfinals to get to the semifinals for the tenth consecutive time. In the semis vs. No. 3 seed Stanford, USC again served up another shutout, beating the Cardinal 4-0 to advance to the championships match at Libbey Park. In the title match for the ninth time, USC won the doubles point and captured three singles matches en route to a 4-1 victory over Washington. The Huskies only point of the day came from a 6-4, 6-1 decision on court six as Nedim Suko beat Samuel Rubell. Bradley Frye delivered the clincher to get USC the title and the programs 15th consecutive ticket to the NCAA Tournament.
