The Trojans play on the road for a third straight game and will meet Arizona State for a Saturday-matinee matchup

LOS ANGELES – The USC lacrosse team (3-2) will play its third straight game on the road when the Trojans trek to Tempe for a Saturday-matinee (Feb. 28) meeting with Arizona State (2-2) at Sun Devil Lacrosse Stadium. The teams will meet for first draw at 12 p.m. MST (11 a.m. PT) and be shown live on ESPN+. The Women of Troy split road games in Northern California last week with a 12-11 win over UC Davis and a loss to longtime West Coast rival Stanford on the Farm. USC and ASU—two former Pac-12 foes—began as a rather one-sided series as the Trojans recorded victories by double-digit margins in the first four meetings. Despite a more competitive series of late, USC still owns a 13-2 edge in the all-time series. The only two losses were at home in 2019 and once on the road when the Sun Devils hosted the 2022 Pac-12 Championship tournament.

CrossExamination (TL;DR)

USC is led by 14th-year head coach Lindsey Munday, a four-time conference Coach of the Year (MPSF and Pac-12). She is the Trojans' first and only head coach in program history and is 164-72 (.695) at Troy.
The Trojans will play 2026 home games in the brand new Rawlinson Stadium. Construction was completed on the footprint of the former McAlister Field in July of 2025 and hosted USC's women's soccer team in the fall.
The Trojans are 6-1 all-time in the state of Arizona. The only loss came against the Sun Devils in the 2022 Pac-12 tournament; a one-goal result, 13-12.
USC has had a pair of one-goal victories this spring. The program owns 21 one-goal wins. The Trojans are 21-17 in one-goal games which includes 5-9 in overtime contests. They are 16-8 in regulation-time one-goal margins.
Jr. M Anna Regan produced her eighth-career double-digit draw control game with 13 against Brown. Her 260 career draw controls rank third in USC history and is fifth in the Big Ten at 6.25 draw controls per game.
Jr. A Emma Bunting's 10 assists rank fifth in the Big Ten and her 2.50 assist per game are third in the league (21st nationally).
10 different Trojans have scored goals through three games led by seven apiece from sophomore attacker Kaylee Fravert and midfielder Alex May.
The Women of Troy were picked to finish in sixth place in the Big Ten preseason coaches poll; the same spot it finished in the final 2025 standings.

LAST TIME OUT: The Trojans—playing their first road games of the season—went to Northern California and claimed a 12-11 win over UC Davis before they fell to longtime West Coast rival No. 2 Stanford. The Women of Troy moved to 21-8 all-time in Northern California cities and remained undefeated against the Aggies in 10 meetings. Emma Bunting scored a hat trick in the win over UC Davis.

ALL-AMERICAN GIRLS: USC has celebrated 10 IWLCA All-America selections. Michaela Michael was the first-ever All-American selection as a third-team choice in 2015. Michael and defender Courtney Tarleton were each named to the first team in 2016, with midfielder Amanda Johansen chosen to the third team. Michael repeated for first-team honors in 2017 alongside defender Lydia Sutton who earned third-team recognition. Kerrigan Miller joined the ranks as a third-team choice in 2018 and was a second-team All-American in 2019. Kelsey Huff (2022) and Emma Wightman (2023) were each tabbed for third-team laurels.
