No. 2 USC Blanks LMU 18-0 In 2018 Opener
January 13, 2018 | Women's Water Polo, Features
Trojans impress in first official action of the season.
WESTWOOD, CALIF. — The No. 2 USC women's water polo team stormed out of the gates of the 2018 season in churning out an 18-0 shutout of No. 22 LMU in the first official action of the season at the UCLA Mini Invite. Behind seven saves from junior goalie Amanda Longan, the USC defense turned away 10 Lion power play opportunities to help lock up the shutout win and make it a 1-0 start to the year.
Senior Hayley McKelvey drummed up four goals in the first period of play — all 6-on-5 finishes — to set the tone for the Trojan offensive onslaught. Freshman Paige Hauschild should tally her first goal as a Trojan during the first frame, while Kelsey McIntosh delivered her first of two goals on the day and Maud Megens started off on her path to an eventual game-high five goals for the Trojan cause. Up 7-0 after eight minutes of action, USC received two goals from senior captain Brianna Daboub, two more from Megens and the first career goal as a Trojan for freshman Verica Bakoc to lead it 12-0 by halftime. By the final buzzer, sophomore Denise Mammolito had joined the scoresheet, while Hauschild completed her debut hat trick and Megens round out her five-goal outing.
Next up for USC will be action at the CBU Mini Invitational in a couple weeks, as the Trojans line up against host Cal Baptist at 12:45 p.m. followed by a clash with Pomona-Pitzer at 2 p.m. on Jan. 27.
