Â
RAWLINSON STADIUM - USC made a big investment in the women's soccer program with the construction of Rawlinson Stadium.

Â
ANDERSON AT OREGON - USC earned a hard-fought 1-0 victory on the road at Oregon on Friday afternoon, with Jaiden Anderson scoring the game-winner in the 86th minute. The Trojans controlled much of the match, outshooting the Ducks 15-9 and holding 64% of the possession, but it took until the final minutes to find the breakthrough. Bella Grust recorded her fifth clean sheet of the season with four saves, while the USC defense limited Oregon to just two first-half shots.
Â
GRITTY WIN VS RUTGERS - USC completed their most recent two-game homestand with a 2-1 victory against Rutgers at Rawlinson Stadium on Sunday, Sept. 28.

Â
SHUTOUT VS MARYLAND - The Trojans bounced back with a dominant performance against Maryland last Thursday night, taking down the Terrapins 3-0.
