“It was a good message from some of our staff and leaders in terms of the approach that we need to have every day that we come out here,” said USC football coach Lincoln Riley, reflecting on the team’s commitment to excellence during spring practice.
In a remarkable display of skill, USC Women’s Golf clinched their fourth consecutive title at the PING ASU Invitational, finishing with a score of 841, an impressive 23 under par. This victory not only highlights the team’s dominance but also underscores their consistency in a highly competitive field.
Cal State Fullerton’s Davina Xanh emerged as the individual champion, scoring 208, which was eight under par. However, USC’s performance was nothing short of stellar, with all four of their scorers finishing in the top ten, a testament to their collective effort and talent.
The backdrop of this achievement is significant; USC Women’s Golf previously won four consecutive titles in the 2013-14 season, making this latest victory a continuation of their storied success.
As the team celebrates this latest triumph, they are already looking ahead to the Augusta National Women’s Amateur scheduled for April 1-4, where they will face another set of challenges against top-tier competition.
Meanwhile, USC football is focusing on accountability during its spring practices, with coaches emphasizing that 95% effort is the minimum expected from players. “We just have to be better prepared,” noted linebacker Jide Abasiri, who is taking on a leadership role to help younger teammates adjust.
Riley also mentioned, “We haven’t done a lot of live returns yet,” indicating that there is still work to be done as the team gears up for the upcoming season.
In addition to the golf team’s upcoming events, USC will also play its final regular-season tournament at the Chevron Silverado Showdown, further solidifying their competitive edge.
As both the women’s golf team and football program continue to strive for excellence, the focus remains on teamwork, preparation, and the relentless pursuit of victory.
Details remain unconfirmed regarding any potential changes in the schedule for the Longwood softball series with USC Upstate, which has been adjusted due to expected inclement weather.
