LAST TIME OUT: USC fell at sixth-ranked Northwestern, 11-5, and dropped to 0-6 in Big Ten games. The Wildcats built a 6-1 first-half lead, but the Trojans fought back in the second half behind a hat trick from Kaylee Fravert. It was USC's eighth game against a ranked opponent and the fourth played on the road. The game was also the Trojans' fifth against a foe ranked in the top 10. Before its return home, USC played Central Michigan in a nonconference meeting in Mount Pleasant, Mich. In a far different result, Reese Robinson led with four goals and Emma Bunting had three as part of a 15-4 win over the Chippewas. Nine different Women of Troy scored against CMU including Sydney Stewart who was also a defensive standout with three ground balls and three caused turnovers.

OHIO RIZZ: Second-year USC assistant Jill Rizzo played goalie for Ohio State (2017-21) where she produced a program-record 777 saves.

Sophomore midfielders Alex May and Skylar May are both from Greenwood Village, Colo. And freshmen twin sisters Hadley Holland (an attacker) and Riley Holland (a defender) are both from Madison, N.J. Two other twin pairs have suited up in the Cardinal and Gold previously but were not on the roster at the same time. From 2014-16, Glade and Shannon Nugent played for the Trojans and then from 2020-21 twins Delaney and Savannah Sweitzer played at USC.

Her 311 career draw controls rank second in USC history and ranks 14th among active players nationally.
