USC is on a three-game winning streak and can match the season s longest streak with a win over Oregon on Friday. The Trojans have won 13 straight MPSF regular-season games; a streak that dates back to April 25, 2015 (16-4 win at San Diego State). USC is led by 2015 MPSF Player of the Year and two-time All-American attacker Michaela Michael (Sr.); the MPSF s all-time leader in draw controls (351). She also ranks third in league history for goals (196) and is USC s career leader. Sr. attacker Cynthia Del Core set a USC single-game record with 11 points (5g, 6a) in a win over Dartmouth (March 17); the most by an MPSF player since Denver s Jill Remenapp had 12 points in 2013. Michael has been named MPSF Offensive Player of the Week three straight weeks and has nine-career weekly awards from the league.

Following back-to-back 21-point outbursts, the USC offense sits atop the MPSF rankings with 15.25 goals per contest. The Trojans also lead the nation with an 8.44 margin of victory. USC s 6.81 goals-against average now leads the nation and the Trojans.500 shooting percentage is tops in the MPSF and 3rd in the NCAA. The Women of Troy are led by two-time All-American attacker Michaela Michael (40g, 12a, 76dc) who has been named the MPSF Player of the Week each of the last two weeks. She guides a potent scoring attack with fellow seniors Kylie Drexel (19g, 10a), Gabby McMahon (20g, 6a), and Cynthia Del Core (22g, 15a). Junior goalie Gussie Johns leads the MPSF in goals-against average (7.19 gaa) and leads the league in ground balls (4.17 gbpg). Freshman midfielder Kerrigan Miller (22g, 9a) has four hat tricks in 12 games and is a two-time MPSF Rookie of the Week selection.

Thanks to a generous $150,000 donation from Hobart and Soni McAlister, a new field was built on the corner of 30th Street and Hoover Street in 1998. The field served as the home of USC soccer for 14 years before lacrosse was added as USC s 21st varsity sport in 2012. Trojan lacrosse played its first season in the spring of 2013, and hosted Massachusetts in their first game at the field on February 10. In 2000, a permanent scoreboard was installed in the southwest corner of the field. In the summer of 2012, the field was moved eastward to accommodate the construction of a new fire station, which put the field s new entrance at 30th and University Avenue. USC lacrosse is 28-8 (.778) all-time at McAlister Field (since 2013). The Trojans went undefeated on the home field in 2015 (7-0) and 2016 (9-0). USC has also hosted at least one home game at the LA Memorial Coliseum in each of the program s first four seasons and is 3-2 in the historic venue.
USC Head Coach Lindsey Munday One of the most accomplished collegiate women s lacrosse players in the history of the sport, Lindsey Munday was handpicked to lead the first-ever USC women s lacrosse team in 2012. Munday was named the MPSF Coach of the Year in 2015 and 2016; and was the IWLCA s West/Midwest Regional Coach of the Year. She was also chosen as the ILWomen National Coach of the Year in 2016. As a player, she won a pair of NCAA titles with Northwestern in 2005 and 2006. She then became an assistant at NU and helped the Wildcats to three titles from 2007-09. Munday is a two-time world champion (2009 and 13) with the U.S. women s national team. In 2009, she earned All-World recognition with 17 goals and 20 assists (37 points) in seven games and later captained the 2013 squad to a record seventh FIL World Cup title. Munday has a 60-29 (.674) overall record and has guided the Trojans to backto-back NCAA berths (2015-16), and the 2016 MPSF title. In 2013, she exceeded expectations and led USC to a fourth-place finish with an appearance in the league tourney after the Trojans were picked to finish seventh. Munday was the top assistant at Northwestern (2007-10) as the recruiting coordinator and offensive coach. NU was 85-4 during her tenure and went 23-0 in 2009. She tutored several All-Americans, including Tewaaraton Trophy winners Kristen Kjellman and Hannah Nielsen. One of the greatest players in NU history, Munday was a Tewaaraton semifinalist in 2005 and 2006, and finished her career as the program s all-time leader in assists (128), third in points (268), and fifth in goals (140). She set single-season NU records for points (107) and assists (54) in 2005. The Wildcats were 64-12 and won the school s first-ever NCAA titles in the sport. She helped Northwestern become the first school outside the Eastern Time zone to win a national title and the first program to win consecutive NCAA championships. She was a two-time first-team All-American (2005-06), All-Region, and All- American Lacrosse Conference selection. Munday received a bachelor s degree in communication from Northwestern in 2006.

M Taylor Sullivan, SDSU APR 3 Fr. M Kaeli Huff, USC APR 10 APR 17 APR 24 EAST COAST BIAS: USC has played 18 games on the East Coast and holds a 7-11 overall record in those games. The Trojans own wins over Stetson, Dartmouth (2), LIU Brooklyn, and Marist in true road games. USC defeated James Madison at a neutral location in the 2015 NCAA first round in Durham, N.C.; and beat Ohio State in a game played in New Jersey. This regular season, USC has played games in New Hampshire, Massachusetts, New York, and New Jersey. The Trojans also played two for the first time in Florida earlier this season. POLL POSITION: The Trojans opened the season ranked No. 4 in the IWLCA Coaches preseason poll. The ranking was a program high and was also the highest any team from the MPSF and from the West Coast had ever been ranked in the coaches poll. Following two wins, USC moved up one spot to No. 3 to further rewrite the record books. USC has spent 22 consecutive weeks ranked in the IWLCA poll (including 17 straight in the top 10) dating back to a No. 19 ranking in the 2016 preseason poll. The Trojans are 6-10 against teams ranked in the top 10 of the poll and are 1-7 against teams ranked among the top five. KA-POW: Junior goalie Gussie Johns and freshman midfielder Kerrigan Miller received MPSF Defensive Player and Rookie of the Week honors, respectively, following USC s thrilling 11-10 overtime victory over No. 9 Northwestern. Johns had 17 saves (second most in school history) and tied a school record with eight ground balls. Miller scored her first-career hat trick, which included the gamewinning goal to put the Wildcats away. On March 20, senior attacker Michaela Michael was named the league s Offensive Player of the Week and Miller repeated her Rookie of the Week honors as the first MPSF player to do so this season. Michael was also chosen on March 27 for her eighth-career nod and then again on April 3 for her ninth. On April 3, freshman midfielder Kaeli Huff was named Rookie of the Week for the first time in her career. In all, USC has had 30 MPSF weekly award winners: 12 offensive, 10 defensive, and eight rookie honors. CORE POWER: Senior attacker Cynthia Del Core s 11-point outburst in USC s 19-8 win over Dartmouth (March 17) set a new single-game school record. She broke the previous record of nine points reached by Michaela Michael once and six other times by Caroline delyra. Del Core reached new career highs in goals (5) and assists (6) and posted the highest point total in a single game by an MPSF player in four years: since Denver s Jill Remenapp had 12 points in a game in 2013. The 11 points tied for fifth in MPSF single-game history and her six assists tied the USC single-game record held by Michael and delyra (six times). RED, WHITE, AND BLUE TIMES TWO: Junior goalie Gussie Johns and associate head coach Devon Wills were each named to the U.S. Lacrosse Women s National Team roster that will compete at the upcoming FIL Women s World Cup in Guildford, England, July 12-22. Johns is the first-ever USC student-athlete to receive a call up to the senior national team. Wills, Johns mentor, will represent the U.S. for the third consecutive World Cup. She helped lead Team USA to record sixth and seventh world titles in 2009 and 2013. She was named Player of the Match in the 2009 gold-medal game as she preserved an 8-7 win over Australia. OH, CANADA: Junior defender Lydia Sutton and sophomore defender Avery Hogarth were each named to the Canadian Lacrosse Association s Senior National Team roster that will compete at the upcoming FIL Women s World Cup in Guildford, England, July 12-22. The duo helped Canada win its first gold medal in the 2015 FIL U19 World Championship. Sutton was also a part of the 2013 Canadian roster that took silver in the FIL World Cup when it lost to the U.S. in the final. ALL-AMERICAN GIRLS: The Women of Troy have celebrated four IWLCA All- America selections through four years as a program. Senior attacker Michaela Michael was the first-ever All-American selection as a third-teamer in 2015. Last year, Michael and defender Courtney Tarleton were each named to the first team. Senior midfielder Amanda Johansen was chosen to the third team to give the Trojans two first-team and two third-team selections all-time.
HAT TRICK MAGIC: Senior attacker Michaela Michael has scored three or more goals in 34 games in her career. She is the program s all-time leader for hat-trick games. Senior attacker Kylie Drexel is the next active Trojan on the all-time list with 12 hat-trick games. Senior attacker Cynthia Del Core ranks third on the team s current roster with 10 all-time games of three goals or more. In all, 16 Trojans have scored hat tricks in their careers. STATE YOUR CASE: The Trojans roster is made up of players from 10 different states. California and New York lead with seven squadwomen from each. Four Women of Troy are from New Jersey. USC has two players from the state of Florida, and one each from Oregon, Virginia, Illinois, Georgia, Minnesota, and Washington D.C. The Trojans also have one player from Ontario, Canada. IN CONTROL: Senior attacker Michaela Michael is the USC and MPSF career leader in draw controls (351). Michael set a new single-game league record with 15 (vs. Fresno State; Feb. 24, 2015), which has since been broken; and is the single-season leader with 123 draw controls in 2015. She has also had three games where she has had 12 draw controls, which ties for third-best in conference single-game history. TRANSITIVE PROPERTIES: The Trojans add a pair of transfer players to the roster in 2017. Sophomore midfielder Amanda Flayhan comes to USC from Michigan and sophomore defender Avery Hogarth was formerly a member of Vermont s lacrosse team. Hogarth and the Catamounts faced the Trojans at McAlister Field in 2016. SUNSHINE HOMECOMING: Two current Trojans hail from the Sunshine State of Florida. Sophomore midfielder Allie Gershman is from Boca Raton and freshman attacker Sarah Larkin is from Orlando. Gershman and Larkin made a homecoming trip when USC went to Florida for the first time in program history to face the Gators in Gainesville, Fla., and Stetson in DeLand, Fla. RING IT UP: It seems almost like it might be a prerequisite that you have won a championship ring in order to join the USC lacrosse staff. Head coach Lindsey Munday owns a pair of NCAA titles as a player at Northwestern (2005-06) and has three more as an assistant coach with the Wildcats (2007-09). She is also a two-time FIL World Champion (2009 and 2013). Assistant coach Alyssa Leonard won a pair of NCAA titles with Northwestern (2011-12) and most recently, the addition of director of operations Megan Ward brings two more NCAA championships to the staff. Ward was the starting goalie for North Carolina when the Tar Heels won crowns in 2013 and 2016. While she may not have an NCAA championship, associate head coach Devon Wills helped Dartmouth finish as NCAA runners-up in 2006 (to Northwestern) and she can claim two World Championships as the starting goalie for Team USA (2009 and 2013).

USC was ranked in the polls for the first time on Feb. 1, 2016, at No. 19 in the IWLCA and No. 18 in the media poll. USC s No. 4 ranking in the 2017 preseason IWLCA poll is the highest ever for an MPSF team; and the first time that USC opens a season ranked in the top 10 and in the top 5.

Leonard secured a Northwestern record 15 draw controls in USC s historic first game on Feb. 9, 2013, at the L.A. Coliseum. The following year, as a senior, she set the NU school record for career draws won and helped the Wildcats defeat the Trojans at Wrigley Field; a game that included an incredible highlight-reel behind-the-back goal. Following her graduation, Leonard agreed to join the Trojans staff and made an immediate impact on USC s success in the center circle. She has tutored All-American Michaela Michael to the MPSF single-game (15) and single-season (123) draw control records and has been USC s offensive coordinator the last three seasons. 3 YOU NAME IT: Junior goalie Gussie Johns was named by her three older brothers. As it turns out, the summer during which Gussie was to be born, her brothers (Tucker, Bo, and Gibson) knew someone at their summer camp named Gussie and had taken a liking to the name. Born into an athletic family, the fact that there happened to have been an athlete named Gussie Johns who played four sports at Princeton in the late 1970 s, only further solidified the boys choice. Beyond her athletic pedigree, Johns is a business administration major who aspires to one day own her own company. She s also quite the avid chef in the kitchen. 4 AGGIE HILL: Freshman attacker Ashley Hill s older sister K.C. played attack for conference foe UC Davis in 2013. Hill s older brother Christopher is a junior attacker for Navy s men s lacrosse team. 5 PLAY IT AGAIN: Sophomore midfielder Emily Concialdi can play the ukulele. She is also quite the skier. She was named the Journal News Westchester/ Putnam s 2014 Girls Skier of the Year. Concialdi captured the New York Section 1 Girls Giant Slalom title and the Skimeister crown (for the lowest combined time for slalom and giant slalom) and finished in the top 10 in both downhill events at the state championships as a junior. She is the second-youngest of six siblings. 6 BAND AID: Sophomore midfielder Jackie Gilbert used to play the drums and if she weren t playing lacrosse, she would be in the USC Trojan Marching Band, The Greatest Marching Band In The History Of The Universe. 7 SISTER, SISTER: Freshman midfielder Kelly Johansen is the younger sister of former USC All-American midfielder Amanda Johansen. She will wear the same number as the elder Johansen and becomes the second pair of sisters to both play for the Trojans (Glade/Shannon Nugent). 10 FORE SCORE: Sophomore midfielder Gabbi Klein was also a member of the girls golf team at Monte Vista High School. 14 CAREER DRIVEN: Senior midfielder Drew Jackson was among a group of more than 200 current student-athletes and NCAA postgraduate scholarship recipients to attend the NCAA s 2015 Career in Sports Forum in Indianapolis the racing capital of the world. Jackson was one of just six attendees invited from the Pac-12, all of whom expressed an interest in working in the sports industry.

She is a member of the Trojan Athletic Senate and the Student Business Association. 19 TOP OF THE CLASS: Freshman midfielder Kerrigan Miller was the top-rated women s lacrosse recruit according to Inside Lacrosse. She is USC s first-ever No. 1 recruit and brings U19 national team experience to the squad. Miller, who is one of five siblings, comes from an athletic family. Her older sister MacKenzie played lacrosse at Belmont Abbey College and sister Delaney is on the snowboard team at East Carolina University. 20 LADY OF THE NORTH: Junior defender Lydia Sutton who is sometimes referred to as the Lady of the North, and Lyd the Kid among other things wears her jersey number to meet a happy medium. As a multi-sport athlete in high school, she donned No. 18 for lacrosse and No. 22 for soccer. Since both numbers were already taken when she arrived at USC, she took their average and chose to wear the number 20. 23 KY WILL TRY: Senior attacker Kylie Drexel just wants to play. At Davis High School she became the only student to win the Triple D Award for being the Most Valuable Player three varsity sports (lacrosse, basketball, field hockey) in the same year. She was also Davis Female Athlete of the Year as a senior. 37 UNDER THE INFLUENCE: Freshman midfielder Kaeli Huff has had a lot of familial sports figures to look up to. She draws inspiration from her father Scott who played for and coached the New York Saints indoor lacrosse team. Her uncle, Steven Huff, played lacrosse at North Carolina and later for the Saints and Lizards. Another uncle, Kevin Huff, played football and lacrosse at Hofstra and played lacrosse for the N.Y. Saints. Her uncle, Keith Huff, played football at Hofstra; and her aunt Victoria Huff, played softball for North Carolina and professionally for the Carolina Diamondbacks. Huff s uncle Chris Engers was a member of 1992 USA Paralympic team that competed in Barcelona. Huff is also an active member of the Trojan Athletic Senate and the Student Business Association. 45 CANADIAN CARAVAN: Sophomore defender Avery Hogarth is USC lacrosse s first international player. She was born in and hails from Mississauga, Ontario, Canada. Hogarth played her freshman season at Vermont before transferring to join the Women of Troy. In 2015, she and now teammate Lydia Sutton helped the Canadian U19 team capture gold medals at the World Championships. 47 JUST VEG OUT: Senior defender Nina Kelty has been a vegetarian for the last 15 years. She still maintains that there is no restaurant out there better than her mom s home cooking. She runs her own Instagram (neenz_cuisine) and food blog about eating and cooking healthy. 2017 MPSF Tournament Information The 2017 MPSF Lacrosse Tournament will be held April 27-30 at USC s McAlister Field.
