LOS ANGELES– Sun Devil Water Polo (8-11, 0-4) embarks on their final road trip of the season to face top-ranked USC (23-1, 4-0) this Saturday, April 15. The Mountain Pacific Sports Federation matchup is slated for 1pm MST and will be viewable on Pac-12 Arizona.
The Sun Devils, led by freshman attacker Juliette Dhalluin who is the reigning MPSF Newcomer of the Week after a career-tying six-goal weekend, come off of a gritty home loss to No. 3 UCLA where 10 goals was not enough to put away the Bruins.
Then-No.2 USC ended No. 1 Stanford's 26 game win streak last weekend after upsetting the Cardinal 17-12 at Uytengsu Aquatics Center to remain undefeated at home. The Trojans' redshirt senior Bayley Weber is the reigning MPSF Player of the Week after her four goal performance in the win.
ASU is no stranger to USC this season having faced them earlier in the year during the Barbara Kalbus Invitational Tournament. The Sun Devils dropped the contest 16-4, and have not defeated the Trojans since 2008. The 2008 victory was the only one over the Trojans in program history.

Recordbook Watch:
Dhalluin is continuing to move up among freshman ranks in program history after Vanda Baksa paved the way last season. Juliette's six goals last weekend give her 59 on the season. Her 59 is third for a freshman, and eighth all time among all Sun Devil in a season. She also sits at 25 assists on the year, sixth all-time by a freshman and brings her to 84 points. Those 84 points are second to Vanda Baksa's 122 points, who shattered the previous freshman point record last season after her 73 goals and 49 assists. Defensively, Dhalluin's 41 steals are fourth most among freshman in a single season.
