With four unanswered goals in the final 7:20, the No. 3 USC men's water polo team defeated No. 1 UCLA, 10-7, in a non-conference match at the McDonald's Swim Stadium on Saturday morning.

Chad Morton, who guaranteed three months ago that USC would beat UCLA for the first time in nine years, rushed for 143 yards and John Fox threw for two touchdowns Saturday as the Trojans downed the Bruins 17-7.

Sam Clancy scored 24 points and Brian Scalabrine added 18 points Friday night as USC jumped out to a lead midway through the first half against Cal State Northridge and held on for a 73-59 win.

Led by junior forward Tashara Carter's 13 points, five Trojans scored in double-figures to guide the USC women?s basketball team to a 84-59 victory over the national team of New Zealand on Wednesday (Nov. 17). Led by senior forward Danielle Golay?s 18 points and junior center Denise Woods? 15 points, the USC women?s basketball team won its exhibition opener over SBC Hanacka Kyselka Prerov, 79-67, on Monday (Nov. 15) in front of 452 at the Lyon Center.
