A dominant start
The Trojans opened their nonconference slate with a commanding 4-0 win over New Mexico State, a result that propelled them to a 1-2-1 record. From the first whistle, USC imposed its rhythm and never looked back.
Jordan Hill broke the deadlock in the 61st minute after a well‑timed pass from Rhea Moore that initially raised an offside flag but was later confirmed. Her strike settled the team and set the tone for the remainder of the match.
A quick burst of goals
Lily Biddulph then ignited the crowd with two goals in less than two minutes. The first came unassisted in the 80th minute, and she added a second with the help of Rhiannon Mahon and Sophia Cavaliere just two minutes later.
Lauder Headrick capped the scoring in the 84th minute, notching his first career goal with assistance from Hill and Eleanor Morrissey. The play underscored the depth of talent on the freshman roster.
First shutout and what's next
Goalkeeper Josie Biehl earned her maiden career shutout, making a single save that proved enough to preserve the clean sheet. Her composure between the posts gave the defense the confidence to push forward.
USC will now travel to face Saint Mary's on Sunday at 2 p.m., a match that will be streamed on B1G+. The upcoming game offers another chance for the freshmen to build on their early-season momentum.
