The 2011-12 USC athletics season got started today as women's soccer fell to Long Beach State 2-1 at McAlister Field, but nearly pulled off a dramatic last second equalizer (video below).
The events calendar continues Sunday with "Salute to Troy," the annual football kickoff BBQ.
And then next week, #2 women's volleyball takes the first steps on the road to the Final Four by taking on #12 Minnesota and #1 Penn State at the AVCA Showcase, which will air on the Big Ten Network. The women's volley home opener is September 9 against UCLA.
#1 men's water polo gets going the same day as football, Saturday, September 3. And, cross country starts running a week later on September 10 in Irvine.
On September 1, you are all invited to the Fall Sports Rally at Galen Center. Nothing gets you fired up like a pep rally with tons of giveaways and prizes.
Women's soccer is next in action Sunday at 1 p.m. Here's a look at the first goal of the season, netted by Haley Boysen, and the two great chances at the bitter end that went begging.
