Weekly Roundup 6

It's been a busy football week, but a belated roundup means we get some late-breaking good news from the links.

Women's Tennis - USC had a huge week at the Edean Ihlanfeldt Invitational. The team picked up its first tournament win of the year, beating Arizona State by nine strokes and finishing well ahead of a field of West Coast rivals. Sophomore Belen Mozo came from behind to tie the leader heading into the final round, then won her first collegiate title on a scorecard tiebreaker.

Men's Water Polo - The #1 ranked Trojans beat Stanford in convincing fashion on Saturday. We all know it wasn't on the gridiron -- try the pool. USC men's water polo remained undefeated by shutting out the third-ranked Cardinal in the second half to claim a 7-2 victory. As we've seen all season, scoring was spread around. Five players hit the back of the net ... Goalie Adam Shilling was named MPSF Co-Player of the Week after allowing just two 6-on-5 goals and making 10 saves and two steals ... The team remains a unanimous selection for #1.

Women's Cross Country - Coach Tom Walsh said it could take a couple months for freshman Zsofia Erdelyi to adjust after moving to USC from Hungary. Looks like adjustment time is over. Erdelyi set a course record at the UCSD Triton Invitational, leading the Women of Troy to a second-place finish overall. It's the third consecutive individual victory by a Trojan. The last two were by Sarah Cocco, who was sick and unable to compete in San Diego.

Baseball - Don't think you can get anything for free at a Mercedes dealership? Head Coach Chad Kreuter will be  speaking at Mercedes-Benz of Laguna Niguel on Thursday, Nov. 1, from 5 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. The first 200 baseball fans who RSVP get free admission, food, drinks and maybe even a couple of rounds of golf. Kreuter will discuss the 2008 season and the Trojan Baseball Classic Golf Tournament -- then he'll raffle away a couple of free entries. RSVP by Oct. 30 to (213) 740-2733.

Women's Volleyball - The Women of Troy dropped the first showdown in the Lexus Gauntlet last week, falling at UCLA in their second Pac-10 loss of the year. Ranked one spot ahead of the #5 Bruins, USC fell, 3-1 ... Senior co-captain Diana Copenhagen could be out for a while. She is now listed as week-to-week because of an abdominal strain ... USC will honor Paula Weishoff on "All-Time Great Night" this Thursday at the Galen Center. The ceremony will take place during the match against Oregon State, which begins at 7 p.m.

Men's Tennis - Sophomore Robert Farah made an impressive run at the Polo Ralph Lauren Men's All-American last weekend, becoming the first Trojan to reach the championship match in two decades. He was also the first qualifier to make it that far since 2001. He won the first set against fourth-ranked Travis Helgeson of Georgia before falling, 5-7, 6-4, 6-4.

Women's Basketball - The nation's top recruit two years ago, guard Jacki Gemelos will miss her second straight season due to another surgery on her right knee. She will join incoming high school All-American Stefanie Gilbreath, who also tore her ACL, on the bench this year.
