The Trojans, led by head coach Jovan Vavic, are ranked No. 2 in this year's CWPA poll. Only UCLA --- the team that bested USC in last year's title match --- topped USC in the poll.

The Trojans return each of their eight All-Americans from last season and each of their top six scorers, including Blake Edwards, who had 68 goals last year.
Two Trojans now have Olympic experience under their belts, as junior goalie McQuin Baron and freshman driver Thomas Dunstan both competed for Team USA in Rio.
Dunstan headlines the freshman class that also includes Marin Dasic, a driver from Croatia, and Matt Maier, a two-meter from Rancho Cucamonga, CA, along with 11 other newcomers.
No. 2 USC kicks off its season tomorrow at the Triton Invitational in La Jolla, CA, where they'll face No. 8 UC Irvine and No. 17 Cal Baptist.
