Greatest Moment of 2007

Lasportscouncil_3 The Los Angeles Sports Council has opened voting to the public for the greatest moments in local sports. Each major team will have a moment honored at the Council's annual awards show.

USC has three nominees on the current ballot, but winning the 2007 Rose Bowl didn't make the cut:

Trojans Defeat Longhorns To Advance to Sweet 16 - Led by swingman Nick Young's 22 points and a stout defensive effort, the USC men's basketball team advanced to the Sweet 16 by defeating Texas 87-68 in Spokane, Washington. The fifth-seeded Trojans' 25th win set a USC program record (March 18).
USC Beats UCLA to Clinch Rose Bowl Berth - In front of a raucous Coliseum crowd of 91,553, the Trojans secured a third straight Rose Bowl Game appearance and a record 32nd overall with a convincing 24-7 victory over crosstown rival UCLA. The Trojans (10-2, 7-2 Pac-10) won their final four regular-season games to earn an unprecedented sixth consecutive conference championship as well as a sixth straight BCS bowl berth (December 1).
USC Women's Soccer Wins First-Ever NCAA Title - The Women of Troy won their first NCAA soccer championship by defeating Florida State 2-0 in the final of the NCAA College Cup at College Station, Texas. Trojans Amy Rodriguez (forward) and Kristin Olson (goalkeeper) were named the tournament's Most Outstanding Offensive and Defensive Players, and the team set program records with an overall 20 victories and 15 shutouts (December 9).

To vote for your favorite, visit www.lasports.org. Polling ends January 10th, and the winners will be announced at the banquet on January 20. A panel of media experts will rank their overall Top 10 moments of the year, along with a Sportsman, Sportswoman, and Sports Executive of the Year. The show will air live on FSN.

This is just the third annual awards dinner, but the Council started honoring greatest moments back in 1995 (including a top-100 of historical moments). Recently, USC was involved in the top overall moments of 2003, 2004, and 2005. For more on the history of the awards, visit their website.
