SHUTOUT VS MARYLAND - The Trojans bounced back with a dominant performance against Maryland last Thursday night, taking down the Terrapins 3-0. Mary Flores opened the scoring with a stunning free kick goal in the 7th minute, then Katie Park made it 2-0 before the half by drawing a PK and converting the kick. Eleanor Morrissey found Hana Mizumoto with a long pass and Mizumoto chipped the keeper to make it 3-0 in the 89th minute. USC held 60% of the possession in the game and limited Maryland to just four shots, posting their fourth shutout of the season.
