No. 1 USC Silences Two Teams At CBU Mini Invitational
January 26, 2019 | Women's Water Polo, Features
Trojans amass 44 goals and allow none in a doubleheader in Riverside.
RIVERSIDE, CALIF. — The No. 1 USC women's water polo team pinned up back-to-back shutouts in a doubleheader day at the CBU Mini Invitational in Riverside, churning out a 21-0 win over Concordia before going even bigger with a 23-0 victory over Claremont-Mudd-Scripps. USC goalies Amanda Longan and Holly Parker each locked up complete-game shutout efforts in the cage, while 16 different Trojans got in on the scoring action. The wins take the defending national champs to 8-0 overall on the year.
The Trojans' opened up their day's work with an all-out dominant effort against Concordia. A whopping 12 Trojans got to the back of the net while the defense did its job protecting their own at the other end. USC poured out nine goals in the first frame and expanded its control to a 14-0 halftime lead. By the end of the third, Mireia Guiral was up to four goals on the day, while Bayley Weber had completed a hat trick of her own. In the final frame, USC had three more newcomers — Julia Rozolis-Hill, Claire Haas and Sophia Lucas — join the scoresheet as USC wrapped up a 21-0 victory with Amanda Longan pulling the complete-game shutout in the cage.
USC would turn right around and take on another contender just minutes later, squaring off against Claremont-Mudd-Scripps next. The Trojans would show no signs of slipping in that one, either, as staunch defense remained the name of the game. With Holly Parker manning the cage, USC shut down the Athenas with a 23-0 decision, going up 13-0 by halftime. By the final buzzer, four other Trojans had joined the offensive onslaught, as Verica Bakoc, Kari Jensen, Grace Tehaney and Elise Stein knocked in goals as USC expanded its advantage to 23-0.
Next week, USC has an exhibition match lined up against the Chinese National Team on Thursday (Jan. 31) at 5 p.m. at Uytengsu Aquatics Center.
