USC College Cup Soccer Sunday and More
At 11 a.m. today the Trojans will attempt to put a cherry atop their very unlikely season when they meet Florida State in the NCAA Tournament final on ESPN2.
Both teams see themselves as underdogs. FSU has a bunch of foreign imports. USC Coach Ali Khosroshahin is only the second-ever coach to take a team to the tournament final in his first season.
Plenty of story lines. Let's hope there's plenty of action. A preview is here.
New U.S. Women's National Team Coach Pia Sundhage was in Texas for the tournament and gave this update ahead of her first camp with the team in Carson. I'll head out to Home Depot Center Monday to meet Pia and will have more Tuesday in my weekly column in the Daily News and Daily Breeze.
USC isn't the only local college still playing soccer; so are the Cerritos College women, who play at 10 a.m. in the COA Women's Soccer Championship title game.
Finally, here are the highlights of Saturday's prep games.
