USC Women's Soccer National Champions
2007 NCAA CHAMPIONS
The 2007 Trojans went 20-3-2 overall and won the program’s first National Championship in its first ever appearance in the NCAA College Cup. USC beat UCLA 2-1 in the semifinals and then shut out Florida State 2-0 in the final behind goals from Marihelen Tomer and Janessa Currier. The shutout was the Trojans’ fifth of the NCAA Tournament, a feat accomplished by just one other team up to that point. Amy Rodriguez, who scored both goals against the Bruins in the semis, was named the tournament’s Offensive MVP and All-American Kristen Olsen was named Defensive MVP of the College Cup. Head Coach Ali Khosroshahin, who was in his first year at the helm with the program, was named National Coach of the Year after guiding the Trojans to the title. With the 2007 championship, the Trojans became the first Pac-10 program to win a title.
2016 NCAA CHAMPIONS
The 2016 Trojans defeated No. 1 West Virginia in the NCAA Women's College Cup Final, propelling the team to its second NCAA title in women's soccer on Dec. 4, 2016 at Avaya Stadium. With the victory the Trojans (19-4-2) became the first Pac-12 school to have two NCAA women's soccer titles (2016, 2007). They also join rare company, as only four women's soccer programs nationally have multiple national titles. It was also USC's 126th national championship. The stars of the day were seniors, as senior forward Katie Johnson came up with the game-winning goal and the insurance goal in the match, winning NCAA Women's College Cup Most Valuable Offensive Player honors. Senior midfielder Morgan Andrews was also outstanding, getting the Trojans on the board in the second minute. Goalkeeper Sammy Jo Prudhomme was unreal on the day, tallying eight saves, to stave off the potent Mountaineer offense, making eight saves, along with senior center back Mandy Freeman and senior holding midfielder Kayla Mills.
