They were USC's fourth and fifth shutouts in its last sixth games and continued the Trojans' six-game winning streak.

DICKINSON/ESCOBAR WIN POTW - Hannah Dickinson and Angeles Escobar took home Pac-12 Goalkeeper and Defender of the Week honors for their performances vs. Oregon and Oregon State. Dickinson saved all five SOG she faced over the weekend to keep a pair of clean sheets. Escobar, a converted defender after three seasons at forward, held both opponents to just 13 combined shots, adding an assist on a free kick slammed off the crossbar vs. Oregon St.

HEATING UP - The Trojans have won six straight matches for the second time in the last three seasons. They've kept clean sheets in five of the last six, outscoring opponents 17-1 over the winning streak. The winning streak also has USC out to a 5-0 start in Pac-12 play for the second time in three seasons.

NATIONAL RANKINGS - The Trojans continue rise in the national rankings, coming in at No. 13 in the United Soccer Coaches top 25. After re-entering the rankings on Sept. 26, USC has gone from outside the top 25 to No. 13 in the span of just three weeks.

SPREADING THE WEALTH - Through 11 games this season, 10 different Trojans have found the back of the net, making them one of just four Pac-12 teams with at least 10 goalscorers. 15 Trojans have recorded at least one point in 2023, more than all but one team (Stanford) in the Pac-12.
