Weekly Roundup 15

Women's Volleyball - It took an upset over the Longhorns to pave the way to Cow Town. The 5th- seeded Trojans knocked off 4th-seeded Texas in a three-game sweep to advance to the NCAA final four in Sacramento. USC was led by senior star Asia Kaczor with 17 kills. Kaczor was named MVP of the regional tournament. Dianne Copenhagen (13 kills against Texas) and Jessica Gysin joined Kaczor on the All-Regional team ... This marks the fourth time in six years that the Trojans have advanced to the semifinals, where they will face Stanford on Thursday. The other semifinal will pit Penn State against Cal, who shocked top-ranked Nebraska in the last round. The two winners will play for the national title on Saturday.

Men's Basketball - USC's 65-44 loss to Fresno Pacific gets relegated to the roundup, not because it was an ugly loss to a poorly regarded opponent, but because it was an exhibition. In fact, Coach TIm Floyd kept his top five scorers on the bench for the entire game knowing the result wouldn't count toward anything. It was a great opportunity to test out some backups and show them how much they needed to improve. It was not, as Conquest Chronicles points out, a reason for USC fans to boo. Tsk, tsk.

Women's Basketball - A Midwest swing was more of a miss for the Women of Troy, who fell to Nebraska, 87-69, and Michigan, 82-61. USC dropped to 4-4 on the season. It will take on Pepperdine at home at 2 p.m. on Saturday.

Women's Soccer - Maybe you missed it, but the USC women's soccer team is the greatest college team in the nation. We're pretty sure nobody saw that coming a couple of months ago.
