Women's Golf Going Low

By Jordan Moore on May 22, 2013 4:17 PM | No Comments

No. 1 USC women's golf shot the lowest round in NCAA Championships history with a 12-under 276 to take a 12-stroke lead at the midway point of the tournament. The Women of Troy were once again led by freshman Annie Park, who sits in second on the individual leaderboard after a 5-under 67.

While Park remains the pacesetter, Andrea Gaston's team had four players shoot under par. Juniors Sophia Popov and Rachel Morris followed their opening round 71s with matching 70s on day two, and they sit in a sixth place tie as individuals.

Here are the highlights and the coach's reaction from a record-setting day in Georgia:

Gettin' Freaky

By Jordan Moore on May 22, 2013 3:04 PM | No Comments

USC All-American Marqise Lee is ranked No. 5 on Bruce Feldman's annual "Freaks List" of the best athletes in college football. Our question: How can their be four athletes better than Lee?

Click here for the list.

Alright, No. 1 Jadeveon Clowney, the South Carolina defensive end who did this last year, is a beast, but Lee concedes an athletic advantage to no man. The Trojans first ever Biletnikoff Award winner spends his offseason long jumping, and could have been a world class decathlete in another life.

The junior is looking to improve upon his sophomore numbers (118 receptions for 1,721 yards and 14 TDs), while the possibility of playing both ways has been floated by the coaching staff.

Harberts Makes Team USA

Having already won a gold medal with the Under-18 team at the 2010 FIBA Americas Championship, USC women's basketball senior Cassie Harberts will pursue another one at the World University Games. The All-Pac-12 center made the 12-player cut from a group of 33 candidates to earn a spot on Team USA for the competition starting July 11 in Russia.

"I was in shock. I still feel like this isn't real life," said Harberts about making the team. "Just seeing a lot of these players come in here in the training camp, and seeing how great they are outside their own college basketball teams, I'm just honored to be a part of the team."

Harberts will don the Team USA jersey for the first time since 2010.
