No. 19 USC Road Trips to Rockies to Face Buffs and Utes
October 17, 2017 | Women's Volleyball, Features
The Women of Troy will play their next four matches on the road to conclude October
LOS ANGELES – The 19th-ranked Trojans (14-5, 6-2 Pac-12) head to the Rocky Mountains for a pair of pivotal Pac-12 matches to close the front half of the league schedule this weekend. The Women of Troy take on Colorado (14-5, 4-4) on Friday (Oct. 20) in Boulder, Colo., and then head to Salt Lake City to face 12th-ranked Utah (16-3, 7-1) on Sunday (Oct. 22).
Â
USC split matches at home last weekend with a 3-1 win over Cal and a 3-1 loss to third-ranked Stanford at Galen Center. Looking ahead, the Trojans will play their next four matches on the road. USC has never lost to Colorado in 14 previous meetings and is 4-1 in its last five trips to Salt Lake City to face Utah.
Â
The Trojans are stacked at the pins and rely heavily on OH Khalia Lanier (4.08 kps) and OPP Brittany Abercrombie (3.17 kps) to drive the attack. Alyse Ford (2.55 kps), Niki Withers (2.50 kps), and Daley Krage (1.78 kps) are also scoring threats. Senior captain Jordan Dunn and Brittany Welsh occupy the middle of the net. Setters Reni Meyer-Whalley (6.36 aps) and Cindy Marina (5.42 aps) run USC's 6-2 system in which libero Victoria Garrick puts up 4.09 digs per set.

1,000 SHIPS: USC's win over Arizona State on Oct. 5, 2016, was the program's 1,000th all-time victory. The Trojans became just the 17th program in NCAA Division I women's volleyball history to reach the 1K milestone. USC is the owner of six national championships (three AIAW and three NCAA) and has won eight conference crowns including two since the inception of the Pac-12 (2011 and 2015). Head coach Mick Haley has led USC to each of its 100-win milestones since the program's 600th victory. The Trojans won their 800th, 900th, and 1,000th all in home matches under Haley's direction.
