Trojans notch an MPSF road win in San José.
SAN JOSÉ, CALIF. — The No. 1 USC women's water polo team hauled in an MPSF road win with a 15-1 victory at No. 13 San José State. Trojans Verica Bakoc, Kaylee Brownsberger and Bayley Weber each tallied hat tricks in the victory, helping improve USC to 12-1 overall and 1-0 in MPSF play.
USC built out a comfortable lead early as Bakoc blazed in a pair of goals in the first frame with four other Trojans also striking to craft a 6-2 USC lead. The Trojans stayed steady in the second, with Brownsberger busting out back-to-back goals before Bakoc delivered her third to take USC ahead 10-5 by halftime. Weber got her scoring going with a steal and a finish in the third before Mireia Guiral sizzled in her second to net a 12-6 USC lead. Goalie Holly Parker would have the final word of the third. She snuffed a Spartan 5-meter penalty shot to notch her ninth save of the day and keep it 12-7 Trojans entering the fourth. Parker would give way to Erin Tharp in goal for the final frame, where Weber worked her way to that hat trick with back-to-back blasts en route to a final 15-11 USC road win.
The Trojans take a break from competition next week, returning to action with two MPSF home games on tap March 14 and 15. USC hosts Cal at 12 p.m. on March 14 before a 12 p.m. clash with Indiana on March 15.
