Michael earned recognition for scoring 11 goals in USC's three games last week: three against New Hampsire, four against Dartmouth and four against Cornell. By the end of the week, she had recorded her 31st career hat trick, the most in program history. She also boasts more MPSF weekly honors than any player in program history; this is her seventh. The Hillsborough, CA native also finished the week with six assists, 17 points and 14 draw controls.
While Michael earned her seventh weekly honor from the conference, Miller earned the second of her young career. The Bayport, NY product scored 10 goals and added one assist, eight ground balls, six draw controls, and four caused turnovers for the Trojans this week. Her 19 goals this season are second only to Michael's 22.
Michael and Miller's efforts helped USC top New Hampshire, 15-4, and Dartmouth, 19-8, but couldn't help the No. 4 Trojans take down No. 11 Cornell.
The 6-2 Trojans hope to get back on track when they travel to face Stony Brook and Ohio State this week.
