FIRST SERVE (TL;DR)

USC is led by fourth-year associate head coach Megan Moenoa who was named the Trojans' interim head coach on Oct. 5, 2026.
The Trojans are 235-72 (.765) all-time at Galen Center but are 4-8 at home this season and still seek their first win against a Big Ten opponent (0-6).
Since USC joined the Big Ten in 2024, the Trojans have gone 10-2 against the other three former Pac-12 schools; losses to Oregon (2024) and UCLA (2025).
The USC-Oregon match pits 2015/16 UCLA grads as head coaches: Moenoa and Trent Kersten. Moenoa won the NCAA title in 2011 as the Bruins' setter.
When USC and Washington meet, it will mark the first Big Ten volleyball match to feature two Polynesian women head coaches. USC's Megan Moenoa and UW's Leslie Tuiasosopo Gabriel are both Samoan.
The Trojans rank third in the Big Ten in blocks (2.66 bps) and rank 21st in the NCAA. USC has put up double-digit blocks in 11 matches this season.
RS Jr. MB Leah Ford ranks sixth in the Big Ten for blocks (1.28 bps) and Jr. MB Mia Tvrdy (1.19 bps) ranks eighth in the league.
So. OPP Abigail Mullen is USC's leading scorer at 3.66 points per set. RS Jr. OH London Wijay averages 3.49 pps for second on the team.

LAST TIME OUT: The Women of Troy took their longest trip of the season and earned an East Coast split with a five-set loss to Maryland and a bounce-back sweep of Rutgers. The loss to the Terrapins extended USC's streak of losses to four, which matched the longest of the season. Four Trojans reached double-digit kills led by a 17-kill performance from London Wijay. USC put up 12.5 blocks in the loss and Taylor Deckert had 20 digs to pace the Trojans' floor defense. After the marathon finish—USC's fourth five-set match of the season—the Trojans bounced back to claim a sweep of Rutgers before returning home. The Scarlet Knights could not stop Mia Tvrdy who racked 11 kills without an error on just 15 swings to hit a season-high .733. USC put up another double-digit block performance and finished with 12.0 led by six from Tvrdy.

BRUIN BUDDIES: When the Trojans meet the Ducks, the match will pit a pair of former UCLA student-athletes as head coaches. Megan Moenoa (class of 2016) won an NCAA title as a setter with the Bruins' women's volleyball team in 2011. Trent Kersten—in his second year as head coach of the Ducks—was a standout player for the UCLA men's volleyball team and graduated in 2015.

SAMOSPIRATION: When USC and Washington take the court on Saturday, it will be the first time two Big Ten teams clash under the direction of Polynesian women head coaches. Both USC head coach Megan Moenoa and UW head coach Leslie Tuiasosopo Gabriel are of Samoan decent and come from long and proud athletic lineages.

PAC IT UP: The Women of Troy played their final season in the Pac-12 Conference in 2023. On June 30, 2022, USC and UCLA both announced that the schools' athletic programs would join the Big Ten Conference in 2024. Oregon and Washington later made similar announcements. The Pac-12 in its final alignment existed for 13 years and was the Pac-10 for the 25 previous years. In the Trojans' first three seasons as part of the Big Ten, they have gone 10-2against the other three former Pac-12 schools.

BLOCKHEADS: USC ranks second in the Big Ten in blocks (2.66 bps) and is 21st in the NCAA. The Trojans have reached double-digit blocks in 11 contests this fall including a season-high 20.5 in a win over UC Santa Barbara (Sept. 20). The Trojans concluded 2025 as the league's leaders with 2.76 blocks per set.
