Trojans open 2026-27 season with three consecutive 100-point games for the first time in program history.

LOS ANGELES — Freshman Saniyah Hall and sophomore Jazzy Davidson delivered 24 points apiece as No. 3 USC women's basketball defeated College of Charleston 105-44 on Tuesday, Nov. 10, at the Galen Center. Senior JuJu Watkins added 20 points as the Trojans improved to 3-0 with their third consecutive 100-point outing.

For just the second time in program history, USC has scored 100 points or more in three straight games, matching a stretch in December 1980. This marks the first time the Women of Troy have accomplished the feat to open a season.

Hall posted career highs of 24 points and eight rebounds in 23 minutes, shooting 8-of-15 from the floor and adding two assists and a steal. Davidson's season-high 24 points came on 9-of-17 shooting, including three 3-pointers, alongside four rebounds, four assists, four steals and three blocks. Watkins finished with a game-high six assists, four steals and four rebounds while scoring 20 points in just 22 minutes.

Junior Ryann Bennett rounded out USC's double-figure scorers with a season-high 10 points and four assists. Overall, the Trojans shot 50.6 percent from the field, connecting on 39-of-77 attempts, and recorded 23 assists against a season-low five turnovers.

USC's defense held Charleston to 30.2 percent shooting and forced 21 turnovers, converting those miscues into 28 points. The Trojans collected 14 steals and 10 blocks, both season highs, while building advantages in rebounds (52-36), paint points (52-28), fast break points (28-3) and bench scoring (22-9).

Freshman Sara Okeke got USC started with a layup off a Hall assist just 10 seconds into the contest. Following an early 2-2 tie, the Trojans put together a 23-2 run to take a 25-4 lead with 4:14 remaining in the opening quarter. Davidson scored nine points in the frame as USC forced eight turnovers and carried a 29-8 advantage into the second.

The Trojans added another 29 points before halftime, with Watkins reaching 16 points, four assists and four steals by the break. Davidson had 15 points and Hall added 11 as USC entered the locker room ahead 58-23. Freshman Sitaya Fagan pulled down eight first-half rebounds to help USC establish a 27-15 edge on the glass, while the Trojans outscored Charleston 20-0 on the fast break.

Junior Kennedy Smith opened the second half with a transition layup, and Hall took over offensively with 11 third-quarter points on 4-of-6 shooting. USC shot 61.1 percent in the period and used a 15-2 run to stretch its lead to 78-30 with 47 seconds remaining. The Trojans led 86-35 entering the fourth.

Redshirt sophomore Laura Williams opened USC's fourth-quarter scoring with a layup off an assist from junior Rian Forestier. The Trojans later strung together 12 unanswered points to push their advantage to a game-high 64 points, 105-41, with 1:23 remaining before closing out the victory.

Fagan finished with career highs of nine rebounds, three blocks and two steals. Okeke went a perfect 4-of-4 from the floor for eight points and seven rebounds, while senior Pania Davis contributed four points, a season-high six rebounds, an assist, a steal and a block.
