USC Women's Soccer Plays to 2-2 Draw with No. 5 Iowa
October 19, 2025 | Women's Soccer
Maribel Flores scored twice for the Trojans to give her nine goals on the year.
LOS ANGELES – Maribel Flores scored twice and the USC women's soccer team played to a 2-2 draw with No. 5 Iowa on Sunday night at Rawlinson Stadium.
Flores netted both Trojan goals in the first half, but Iowa came back with two in the second half to even it up. USC moves to 7-6-2 overall and 4-5-1 in Big Ten play. Iowa moves to 10-3-4, 5-2-3. The draw gives the Trojans sole possession of 10th place in the conference standings, which would be the final spot in the Big Ten Tournament, heading into the final game of the regular season at UCLA next week.
The Trojans opened the scoring in the 17th minute when Ines Derrien was taken down in the penalty area and Maribel Flores converted the kick for her eighth goal of the year. Flores struck again in the 22nd minute, playing a give and go with Murphy Walsh on the left side of the penalty area and beating the keeper with a shot through the legs to make it a 2-0 lead for USC.
Iowa pulled one back early in the second half when a ball played into the area bounced off a Trojan defender and fell to Berkley Binggeli, who snuck a shot through traffic and just inside the far left post. The equalizer came in the 70th minute, when Morgan Lietz finished a long pass from Kellen Fife inside the right post.
GOALS
17' – USC: Maribel Flores (PK) – Ines Derrien drew the PK and Flores converted with a shot inside the left post.
22' – USC: Maribel Flores (assisted by Murphy Walsh) – Flores played the ball to Walsh near the top of the penalty area and Walsh played it right back to Flores who cut inside the left side of the area and fired a shot through the legs of the Iowa keeper.
49' – IOWA: Berkley Binggeli (unassisted) – A ball played into the area bounced off a USC defender and fell to Binggeli, who shot inside the left post.
70' – IOWA: Morgan Lietz (assisted by Kellen Fife, Kelli McGroarty) – McGroarty played a ball back to Fife, who sent a long ball from the right side of the field into the area, where Lietz controlled and snuck a shot inside the right post.

The Trojans play their final game of the regular season when they head to Westwood for a crosstown showdown on Sunday at 2 p.m. Sunday's game will be broadcast on the Big Ten Network.
