BARE E-SAND-SHELLS • TL;DR
Â
THE CHAMP IS HERE:Â USC is the back-to-back defending NCAA champion ('21, '22). The Trojans captured the program's fourth NCAA title and fifth national crown in 2022. USC won the final AVCA championship in 2015 and owns the first two NCAA titles (2016, '17). The Women of Troy have also claimed four Pac-12 championships (2016, '17, '19, '22).
Â
IN THE LONG RUN: The Trojans' 46-dual win streak (March 5, 2022-March 12, 2023) was the program's second-longest and marked the eighth time that USC put together a double-digit win streak. The school record is 62 consecutive wins, which also spanned two seasons from March 11, 2016, to April 27, 2017.
Â
POLL POSITION: USC opened the 2023 season ranked fourth in the AVCA Coaches Top 20 preseason poll. The Women of Troy have been ranked in every AVCA poll for a total of 95 weeks. USC has also been ranked in the top five of the poll 94 times. The Trojans held that top-five distinction for 63 consecutive weeks from its inception until March 2, 2020. USC first seized the No. 1 ranking in both the AVCA and Volleyball Magazine polls on March 23, 2015, following a victory over then No. 1-ranked Hawai'i on the road and held the ranking for the rest of 2015. USC has been ranked No. 1 in 41 AVCA polls, the most all-time. The Trojans, Pepperdine, Hawai'i, UCLA, LSU, Florida State, and TCU are the only seven teams ever to hold the top spot in the poll. USC is 134-14 all-time when ranked No. 1.
