USC Women’s Water Polo Scores Another NCAA Semifinal Spot With 12-8 Win Over Fresno State
May 12, 2023 | Women's Water Polo
Julia Janov tallies three goals to help USC stay the course to victory in the NCAA Quarterfinals in Stockton.
STOCKTON, CALIF. — The USC women's water polo team stuck to its guns and kept control of things in seeing out a 12-8 final win over Fresno State in today's NCAA Quarterfinals in Stockton, Calif. The Trojans never trailed against the Bulldogs, with junior Julia Janov matching her career high with a three-goal day to lead the Trojans' offensive attack. USC is now through to the NCAA Semifinals for the 19th straight time, carrying a 27-2 overall record.
USC's attack force was clicking in the first frame as the Trojans peeled out to a 5-1 lead on goals from five different scorers. Paige Hauschild lit the fuse for the Trojan cause, and although the Bulldogs bit back on their next possession, USC fired off four more as Grace Tehaney, Janov, Honnie Vandeweghe-O'Shea and Mireia Guiral rang up a 5-1 advantage. Alejandra Aznar and Hauschild took turns squashing Fresno State 6-on-5 advantages next, but the Bulldogs got their third straight power play to make it 5-2 at the close of the first. An early Fresno State goal in the second had it as a two-goal margin, only to see USC's Hannah Meyer and Janov issued back-to-back blasts for USC. The Bulldogs wrapped two bar-in goals around a fine finish from Bayley Weber at the post, and it was 8-5 for halftime.
USC would create a little more space in the third, Weber found Aznar for a 6-on-5 sizzler to make it 9-5, and then Aznar nabbed a steal and fed Guiral, who struck off on the counter and hammered it home to net a 10-5 advantage for the Trojans. At the close of the third, it was a 10-6 margin, bringing up the final eight minutes of action. Aznar opened that one with an assist to Janov, who buried her third of the day to make it 11-6. The Bulldogs managed a pair of goals in the final four minutes, but Weber wasn't done. Taking a feed from Guiral, the senior wheeled in her second goal to tally USC's 12th goal of the winning day.
NEXT: USC advances to the NCAA Semifinals for the 19th straight season and will face Princeton at 7 p.m. tomorrow (May 13) at Chris Kjeldsen Pool in Stockton, Calif.
NOTABLE:
- With seven saves today, Carolyne Stern now ranks No. 7 all-time at USC with 381 career saves
- With two goals today, Bayley Weber took over at No. 8 all-time in career scoring at USC with 210 career goals.
- Julia Janov tied her career high with three goals today.
- With her goal today, Paige Hauschild now ranks No. 10 all-time in career scoring at USC with 204 career goals.
- USC is now 40-12 all-time in the NCAA Tournament and is making its 19th straight trip to the NCAA Semifinals.
