No. 1 USC Women’s Water Polo Wins 12th Straight To Celebrate Senior Day
April 15, 2023 | Women's Water Polo
Top-ranked Trojans beat Arizona State 15-11 to improve to 24-1 on the year.
LOS ANGELES — The No. 1 USC women's water polo team wrapped up a perfect season at home in celebrating Senior Day with a 15-11 win over visiting No. 19 Arizona State today at Uytengsu Aquatics Center. USC celebrated its seven departing seniors before the game, honoring the standout careers of National Champions Christina Crum, Mireia Guiral, Claire Haas, Paige Hauschild, Téa Poljak, Grace Tehaney and Bayley Weber. With its 6-0 mark at home this season, USC is now 24-1 overall and leads the MPSF with a 5-0 record in conference play.
USC's hefty first-half lead carried the Trojans through as the Sun Devils picked up their scoring pace in the second half. ASU was effective in finishing many of its numerous power play chances in that stretch, but the Trojans stayed the course. In the fourth quarter, senior Christina Crum sizzled in USC's 12th goal of the day, and Tehaney stepped up again to keep the senior train rolling. She went low corner off a feed from fellow senior Paige Hauschild — who served up three assists in the win — and USC was well on its way to victory. A steal and finish from Maggie Johnson marked USC's 15th goal, and the Trojans emerged with a final 15-11 win to notch their 12th consecutive win of the year.
NEXT:
USC will wrap the regular season next week with a chance to secure an undefeated MPSF run when the Trojans pay a visit to crosstown rival UCLA. USC takes on the Bruins at 12 p.m. on Saturday (April 22) in a televised game at Spieker Aquatics Center.
NOTABLE:
- USC seniors served up a combined 10 assists today — Hauschild (3), Tehaney (2), Guiral (2), Weber (2) and Poljak (1)
- Going 4-for-4 shooting today, Tilly Kearns moved up to rank No. 17 all-time at USC with 143 career goals.
- With her four goals, Kearns now has scored an even 50 goals this season.
- With her two goals today, Grace Tehaney extended her scoring streak to eight straight games with at least one goal.
- USC is now 40-2 all-time against Arizona State, now with 19 straight wins over the Sun Devils.
