Trojans take College Cup title
Finally the best in its city, the Southern California women’s soccer team is also now the best in the nation.
Marihelen Tomer and Janessa Currier scored goals as the Trojans beat Florida State 2-0 on Sunday in the final of the NCAA Women’s College Cup at College Station, Texas.
The Trojans (20-3-2) had never advanced past the second round of the NCAA tournament before this season, their first under coach Ali Khosroshahin. To make it even sweeter, USC snapped a nine- game losing streak to top- ranked UCLA in the semifinals.
