WSU soccer welcomes USC for massive match
The 19th-ranked WSU soccer team welcomes the no. 2 USC Trojans to Pullman in a big Pac-12 showdown tonight. The Cougs are on a two-game losing streak after winning their first 10 games of the season.
The Cougs and Trojans are two of the Pac-12’s five nationally-ranked teams. Leading USC? That would be Keidane McAlpine, who coached at WSU in 2012 and 2013.
The Cougs upset then-no. 2 UCLA last year, so who’s to say they can’t to the same to the Bruins’ rival? The Cougs have been winning this season with a balanced attack. Ten different players have goals this year, and backup goaltender Rachel Thompson has filled in nicely for the injured Ella Dederick.
