USC freshman Emily Ausmus has tied the conference record for most MPSF Newcomer of the Week selections, picking up her seventh award this week. She’s now even with fellow Olympians Paige Hauschild (USC, 2018) and Maddie Musselman (UCLA, 2017), with one week still to go in regular-season competition with the No. 1 Trojans.
Ausmus broke the 90-goal barrier — just the third Trojan in program history to do so in a single season — in scoring eight goals across USC’s two MPSF wins over the weekend. She scored three goals on four shots and added an assist in spite of two early exclusions during USC’s 18-13 win over No. 11 Arizona State. The next day against No. 13 San José State, Ausmus scored a game-high five goals along with two assists and a steal in USC’s 17-8 win over the Spartans. She has scored in all 27 games for the 26-1 Trojans this season, with multiple goals scored in 26 games.
Ausmus and the Trojans wrap the regular season across town this weekend, paying a visit to rival No. 4 UCLA for a 1 p.m. meeting on Saturday (April 19) in Westwood.
