ALL-TIME VS OREGON - USC is 26-3-1 overall against the Ducks and are currently riding a 13-game winning streak vs Oregon. The Trojans haven't lost a game against Oregon since 2012, a 1-0 double overtime road loss. USC beat the Ducks 1-0 on the road last season, with Alison Hou recording an assist in the game.

LAST WEEK - The Trojans suffered a pair of losses to open Big Ten play last week, falling at home to now-No. 1 Michigan State and Purdue. USC held Purdue scoreless until the 77th minute, but conceded the go-ahead goal after going down a player.

RAWLINSON STADIUM - The Trojans are heading into their second season in Rawlinson Stadium in 2026. USC made a big investment in the women's soccer program with the construction of venue, opening the stadium just prior to the 2025 campaign. The $38 million project was announced in 2023 and broke ground on April 9, 2024, with construction finishing last summer. The stadium was built over the site of the former McAlister Field and has a maximum capacity of 2,500 fans. USC held a ribbon cutting ceremony prior to the season opener against CBU on August 17, 2025.

STRENGTH OF SCHEDULE - As always, USC will face one of the toughest slates in the country this year, with 12 of the 18 opponents scheduled having made the NCAA Tournament last season, including two who made the College Cup (Stanford and Duke). In addition to the Cardinal and Blue Devils, Pepperdine, BYU, Michigan State, Ohio State, Penn State, Washington, Illinois, Northwestern, Iowa and UCLA made the 2025 tournament. Those 12 teams won 22 NCAA Tournament games, with Stanford finishing as national runners-up. Through eight games, the Trojans have already faced four teams ranked in the Top 10.

B1G POLL/PLAYERS TO WATCH - USC was picked to finish seventh in the Big Ten preseason coaches poll heading into the 2026 season. Annabel Austen, Mary Cochran and Alyssa Parsons were named Preseason Players to Watch by the conference as well.

HEAD COACH JANE ALUKONIS - Alukonis, who is in her fifth season at the helm for USC in 2026, owns a career coaching record of 49-19-14 and was named the 2024 Big Ten Coach of the Year after leading USC to a conference championship. In her four seasons as a collegiate head coach, USC has won four NCAA Tournament games, reaching as far as the quarterfinals in 2024. The Trojans also earned the first No. 1 seed in the program's history under her watch and welcomed the No. 1-ranked recruiting class this offseason.
