Aznar And Longan Sweep MPSF Weekly Awards
February 12, 2019 | Women's Water Polo, Features
Alejandra Aznar is MPSF Newcomer of the Week; Amanda Longan is Player of the Week.
USC has made it a sweep of the MPSF weekly honor roll after standout performances by Trojans at the Triton Invitational. Picking up her first career award as a Trojan is freshman Alejandra Aznar, who has been named MPSF Newcomer of the Week. Senior goalie Amanda Longan, meanwhile, has secured her third career pick as MPSF Player of the Week.
Freshman Alejandra Aznar scored in all four games in USC's run to the Triton Invitational championship, accumulating six goals at the tourney. Aznar had one goal in USC's opening 15-4 win over Pomona-Pitzer before unleashing three in a 16-5 win over No. 13 LMU to wrap group play. Aznar would score again in USC's 10-3 semifinal victory over No. 8 Michigan before adding her sixth of the event during USC's 10-3 win over No. 3 UCLA in the title match. Aznar now stands as USC's second leading scorer with 19 goals in helping USC to a 12-0 start to 2019 and to USC's sixth consecutive Triton Invite title.
Senior goalie Amanda Longan had three consecutive double-digit save efforts in USC's run to the Triton Invitational. Along the way, Longan registered seven shutout periods of work. In the opener vs. Pomona-Pitzer, Longan had three saves and allowed no goals in her one half of action in the 15-4 win. Against No. 13 LMU, Longan had 10 saves in three periods in the cage while giving up just two goals in that span. On the final day, however, Longan's dominance would grow greater. She collected a season-high 14 saves in a 10-3 win over No. 8 Michigan in the semifinal before making 11 stops against No. 3 UCLA to help beat the Bruins 10-3 and claim the tournament crown once again.
Aznar and Longan and the rest of the Trojans are in action today (Feb. 12) with an exhibition game set against China at 5 p.m. at Uytengsu Aquatics Center. This Saturday (Feb. 16), USC hosts Indiana in an MPSF contest at 4 p.m. at Uytengsu.
