The USC women's lacrosse team is kicking off its third season exactly how it began its debut season in 2013 by hosting the No. 5 ranked Northwestern Wildcats at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum this Saturday at 3:00p.m. The matchup against the Wildcats is always a special one. In the Women of Troy's historic first game in 2013, the seven-time NCAA champions defeated USC 18-5. Last year, the two squads faced off at classic Wrigley Field in Chicago with the Wildcats winning 12-7. USC returned to the Coliseum last year to host its Pac-12 rival, the Stanford Cardinal, and walked away with its first-ever victory over a ranked opponent defeating the Cardinal 11-10.
The Women of Troy are still a very young team in just their third year as a program, but they do return four All-MPSF selections including juniors Caroline de Lyra, Amanda Johansen, Courtney Tarleton and sophomore Nina Kelty. USC also dominated the women's lacrosse recruiting season finishing with the No. 5 ranked class for 2015 and a No. 3 preseason MPSF ranking. Head coach Lindsey Munday and the rest of the coaching staff expect these freshman to make an immediate impact for the Women of Troy beginning on Saturday.
Come show your support for the USC women's lacrosse team as it kicks off its third season on Saturday at the Coliseum. Attendance is free for everyone.
