No. 2 USC Women’s Water Polo Shines In 14-3 Win Over No. 20 San José State
April 01, 2023 | Women's Water Polo
Trojans silenced the Spartans in three periods of play to tack up another MPSF win.
LOS ANGELES — The No. 2 USC women's water polo team had its defense on display in drumming up a 14-3 win over visiting No. 20 San José State today at Uytengsu Aquatics Center. The Trojans kept the Spartans scoreless in the first half and in the fourth period while the offensive end featured a hat trick from Bayley Weber in the first period and another by Paige Hauschild in the second. USC improves to 21-1 overall with the win while going to 3-0 in MPSF play.
Jada Ward stepped into the cage for the second half, spelling Carolyne Stern, who had helped anchor the first-half shutout. Ward snuffed a series of Spartan 6-on-5 opportunities, although SJSU would break through on a 5-meter penalty shot. New Trojan scorers joined the sheet when Maggie Johnson found Fanni Muzsnay to follow a Spartan score and get USC ahead 11-2. Isabel Zimmerman set up Alex Bonaguidi next, and the freshman turned and struck out of set to make it 12-2 Trojans. A late lob made its way through for SJSU to close down the third with the score 12-3, prompting the Trojans to go on lockdown once again. While Ward racked up seven saves in the half, Muzsnay added her second goal and Johnson found another teammate as Zimmerman topped off the USC scoring with a 6-on-5 finish to make it a 14-3 USC final.
NEXT:
USC remains in home waters next week for a key MPSF matchup as the Trojans look to avenge their only loss of the season with a clash against Stanford at 1 p.m. on Saturday (April 8) at Uytengsu Aquatics Center.
NOTABLE:
- With three goals today, Bayley Weber continues to lead the team in multiple-goal games, now with 17 this season.
- Weber also leads the team with goals in 20 games this season.
- Paige Hauschild scored three goals for the second consecutive game.
- Weber and Hauschild continue to rank No. 10 and 11, respectively, in career scoring — Weber now with 200 career goals and Hauschild with 195.
- With one goal today, Grace Tehaney moved up to tie at No. 15 all-time in scoring at USC, now with 152 career goals.
- USC is now 43-0 all-time against Indiana in a series history dating back to 1997.
- USC's first-half shutout of SJSU marked the second time this season that the Trojans have shut out an opponent for a full half of play.
- In also holding SJSU scoreless in the fourth period, USC has held opponents scoreless in a total of 17 periods of regulation play this season.

SCORING:
USC — Bayley Weber 3, Paige Hauschild 3, Mireia Guiral 2, Fanni Muzsnay 2, Honnie Vandeweghe-O'Shea, Grace Tehaney, Alex Bonaguidi, Isabel Zimmerman.
SJSU — Sinia Plotz, Clarissa Wandinger, Lauren Woolley.

Weber's first-frame hat trick went along with a strike from Mireia Guiral as USC built an early 4-0 lead. In the next eight minutes, Hauschild hammered home three goals of her own. Three other Trojans tallied impressive blasts to carry USC to a 10-0 halftime advantage. Honnie Vandeweghe-O'Shea delivered a dirty bar-in goal off a feed from Grace Tehaney, who later issued a sneaky crosscage rocket that got USC ahead 9-0. Guiral's second of the day was a ripper, tearing off a backhand score to tally the 10th Trojan goal of the day.USC scores another MPSF win in home waters!#FightOn✌️ pic.twitter.com/b2O9KZzuHH
