USC upset in NCAA Women’s Soccer Tournament 2nd round by Ole Miss

The USC Trojans looked comfortable through 45 minutes in their opening 2021 NCAA Women’s Soccer Tournament game on Friday against Ole Miss, but things took a turn for the worse after that, as they were pushed to the brink and were ultimately eliminated from the competition after losing 3-2 in a penalty shootout following a 2-2 scoreline through double overtime.

The Trojans were ranked the No. 8 seed overall in the tournament, so the loss will be a disappointment for the program after a strong Pac-12 season, but both teams had NWSL draftees among their ranks and on the day, Ole Miss did just enough to advance, as USC rued a series of missed chances in the 2nd half and overtime.
