LOS ANGELES -- Erika Figge and Brittany Hayes scored three goals each in the nightcap of a unique doubleheader Friday as the No. 2 USC Trojans defeated the No. 16 Arizona State Sun Devils, 9-8, at McDonald's Swim Stadium. A few hours earlier, the Women of Troy earned a 10-7 win at No. 6 Loyola Marymount in nonconference action.
USC (19-3, 9-1) was up by a slim 4-3 margin at halftime against ASU (7-14, 3-7) before taking a 9-5 lead in the early part of the fourth period. The Sun Devils rallied with three straight goals as Jessica McDaniel scored with eight seconds remaining, but could not complete the rally. The match was the final home contest for four USC seniors: Sarah Mix, Melissa Madrid, Eszter Gyori and Erin Wilson.
Moriah Van Norman led the Women of Troy with three goals in the match at Loyola Marymount (23-5), snapping the Lions' program record 13-game winning streak.
The Women of Troy travel to UC Santa Barbara tomorrow for an MPSF match at noon.
