USC women's soccer advanced to the Elite 8 of the NCAA Tournament with a 1-0 win over Utah on Sunday.
Click here for the full recap!
Leah Pruitt put the Trojans on the board in the 73rd minute against the No. 23 Utes, whom USC tied in Salt Lake City earlier this season. The Trojan defense held strong when Utah put pressure on early, and managed their 14th shutout of the season.
The Trojans will now face Auburn in USC's second-ever Elite 8 appearance. The only other time USC has made an Elite 8 was during the 2007 season, when the Trojans won it all.
Like Utah, Auburn is a familiar foe for USC. The Women of Troy dispatched of the Tigers in the Auburn Soccer Classic back in September in a 2-0 win behind goals from Nicole Molen and Alex Anthony.
USC head coach Keidane McAlpine is especially familiar with Auburn, as he spent six seasons (2006-11) as an assistant coach there.
The Trojans face the No. 16 Tigers on Friday at 1:30 p.m. at USC's McAlister Field.
