CROSSExamination
- The Trojans are 77-21 all-time in home games, and are 5-3 since they started playing at Dignity Health Sports Park in 2024.
- This will be the first-ever meeting between Saint Joseph's and USC.
- Before playing the Hawks the Trojans recently completed a full run through of the non-Big Ten former Pac-12 teams.
- This is a new ERA for these squads, as the Trojans are in their first year with the Big Ten.
- USC is 1-2 all-time against A10 Conference opponents as it has only played UMass (0-2) and then VCU last season (1-0).
- The Women of Troy were recently picked to finish sixth out of nine squads in their inaugural Big Ten Preseason Poll.
- Lindsey Munday was selected as the U.S. Women's Sixes National Team Head Coach on Apr. 9. Munday will oversee this new version of play for the National Team, as her appointment will end in 2026. Sixes will be featured in the 2028 Olympics as lacrosse will make its Olympic debut in Los Angeles.
- The Trojans will play this season in two different venues, as they will open at the L.A. Memorial Coliseum but will play seven of their nine home games at Dignity Health Sports Park. USC will play one more game at the Coliseum, as it is set for its Big Ten opener against Johns Hopkins on Mar. 16. The Trojans will play these games off-site as its new stadium is under construction. The brand-new Rawlinson Stadium is set to open in 2026.
- USC is currently ranked No. 24 in the fourth-week edition of the IWLCA Poll.
- The Trojans earned their first Big Ten weekly honors for the week of Feb. 18, as senior Maddie Dora was selected as Big Ten Offensive Player of the Week, and sophomore Annie Shields earned Defensive Player of the Week.
- Stats to Know: Dora is 4th in the NCAA for goals with 28 in six games, her average of 4.67 goals per game is 4th in the country. Redshirt senior Isabelle Vitale's 22 assists is tied for 1st in the NCAA. Her 33 points are ranked tied for 6th in the NCAA.
- Senior Catherine Lord earned a spot on the preseason Tewaaraton Watch List among 50 other women.
- The Trojans Vitale and senior Alexis Niblock were selected to the USA Lacrosse Magazine Preseason All-American List, where Vitale was chosen as a third team member, and Niblock was honorable mention.
- Vitale recently etched her name into the history books as she broke the career assist record for the Women of Troy. The previous record was held by Caroline deLyra at 122. Currently, Vitale has 132. The redshirt senior also broke the single-game record for assists against #21 Colorado with seven. She recently set a new career high in points, as she recorded three goals and six assists to give her eight.
- Sophomore Anna Regan will highlight the draw circle, as last season she posted 122 draw controls, which is tied for the fourth most in a single season by a Trojan. Regan broke the single-game mark for draw controls against San Diego State, as she had 18 against the Aztecs.
- Freshman Kaylee Fravert became the first freshman to post a hat trick since then-redshirt freshman Vitale did it against Virginia in the NCAA tournament on May 13, 2022. She is the first true freshman to do it since then-freshman Dora scored three against Michigan on Apr. 3, 2022. Fravert joins sophomore Emma Bunting, Dora, Vitale and senior Christina Gagnon as the current Trojans who are part of the exclusive club. E. Bunting recorded her first hat trick earlier this year (vs. Colorado, Feb. 16).
