Season Highlights
Earlier this season, the Trojans showcased their prowess against their arch-rivals, the UCLA Bruins, in their annual dual meet. USC triumphed for the sixth consecutive time, improving their record to an impressive 24-1 against the Bruins at Marina Del Rey on March 6.
The showdown was intense, with both teams locked at 16 points each. However, USC's varsity eight delivered a clutch performance in the final race, securing a decisive victory and retaining the coveted Amy Fuller Kearney-Lori Guerrero Azbill Trophy. Despite UCLA's four race wins, USC's 1V4 and 1V8 crews came through with crucial victories.
As the Trojans head to San Diego, they aim to build on their strong start and continue their successful streak.
