Marihelen Tomer is in her first season as Director of Operations for USC women's soccer. A legendary Trojan, Tomer scored the game-winning goal to claim the 2007 NCAA Championship for the Women of Troy as USC became the first Pac-12 team to win a women's soccer national title.

A 2007 NCAA All-Tournament Team honoree, Tomer graduated from USC in 2009 with degrees in sociology and psychology. After redshirting her first season at Troy due to a knee injury, Tomer came back strong and finished her USC career not only as a national champion, but also at No. 4 all-time in game-winning goals (9) and No. 11 in scoring (14 goals).

Following graduation, the Diamond Bar native participated in the World Race, where she spent 11 months doing volunteer work in 11 different countries around the world. She has remained devoted to service, and recently started her own nonprofit organization, Luv Way Ministries. The mission of Luv Way is to build and run a children's home in Kenya, where Tomer hopes to save the lives of Kenyan children. For more information, visit luvway.org
