USC women’s basketball has launched its 2026-2027 campaign with historic offensive firepower, scoring 100 or more points in each of its first two matchups. This dominant start culminated in Monday’s Big Ten conference awards announcement, where the Trojans claimed two significant individual honors. Juju Watkins was named the league’s Co-Player of the Week, while Saniyah Hall captured the Freshman of the Week title, signaling a powerful start for the program’s top talent.
Key Match Highlights & Tactical Analysis
Watkins, making her return to the court for the first time since March 2025, delivered a historic performance in Sunday’s victory over Utah State. The veteran guard recorded a near-triple-double with 32 points, 16 rebounds, six assists, and five steals, showcasing her all-around dominance. Hall matched that intensity as a first-year player, scoring 20 or more points in both of her initial collegiate games. Her consistent scoring output immediately established her as a primary offensive threat for the Trojans.
The momentum continues as USC prepares for its next challenge on Tuesday night at Galen Center. The Trojans will host College of the Charleston in a matchup that offers another opportunity to extend their scoring streak. Fans can catch the action at 7:30 p.m. Pacific time on the Big Ten Network. For ongoing coverage of USC Trojans news, notes, and analysis, follow @TrojansWire on X and Facebook.
