USC women's lacrosse is doing what no team has done before this season, and it's raising the bar to an entirely new level. As the first-ever West Coast NCAA Tournament hosts, the Trojans took down Stanford, 14-8, on Sunday to become the first MPSF team to ever hold a 20-0 record and the first conference representative in the NCAA Quarterfinals.

From start to finish the Women of Troy were dominant, holding an opponent to under 10 goals for the 20th time this season and finishing with a hat trick of individual hat tricks. Junior attacker Michaela Michael tallied three goals, two assists and eight draw controls in the victory, marking her 23rd career hat trick. She now has 66 goals on the season, the fourth-most in MPSF single-season history. Junior attacker Kylie Drexel scored her ninth-career hat trick and senior attacker Caroline deLyra finished with her 26th career hat trick to round out the group of high-scoring Trojans.
