The awards keep rolling in for USC's top-ranked women's water polo team, as senior Brigitta Games was named the MPSF Player of the Week and freshman Maud Megens was named MPSF Newcomer of the Week today.Click here for the full story!
Games scored a career-high seven goals against San Jose State, plus four against Hartwick and one against Princeton for a total of 12 across a three-game span for the Trojans. Games has 43 goals on the season, which ties her total from 2016, a season after which she was named a first team All-American.
Megens, a freshman from Rotterdam, Netherlands, scored 10 goals in USC's three wins this week. Half of those came in a career-best performance vs. Princeton, where she also added three steals. Megens ranks just above Games on USC's scoring chart this season, with 46 goals, and ranks third among MPSF freshmen in scoring average (1.92 goals per game).
Games and Megens have done their part to maintain USC's NCAA-record 51-game win streak, which the Trojans will put on the line on Saturday against Arizona State. That match kicks off at 12:30 p.m. at USC's Uytengsu Aquatics Center and will be broadcast on Pac-12 Network.
