TOP PERFORMERS 2015 Spring Semester

HOBBY HUDDLE Senior defender Natalie Donaldson, a transfer from Auburn after her freshman season, has a very interesting hobby – barrel racing. The Westminster, Calif., native, owns several horses and competes in barrel racing in the offseason. She hopes to someday ride professionally on the pro rodeo circuit. Sticking with the horse theme, freshman forward Hailey Hite grew up English horseback riding.

NOW PLAYING The Trojans are serious about their tunes. Here are some of our favorites!

FAMILY TIES

- Senior Jamie Fink’s older sister, Amanda was an All-America tennis player at USC. - Junior Savannah Levin’s brother attended USC. Her sister, Camille, helped lead Stanford to the 2011

NCAA women’s soccer title. - College athletics runs in junior Mandy Freeman’s blood. Her sister Ashley played soccer, softball and ran

track at Florida, while her other sister, Tiara, played soccer at South Alabama. Finally, Freeman’s mother, Hazel, was on the track and field team and danced at Rutgers

- Freshman Ally Prisock’s father, Aaron Prisock, played football at Arizona.

TOP TWEETS The Trojans have quite the personality, and love sharing their thoughts on social media

@x_Mandii: Martin Luther King Jr. 47th anniversary. "Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor, it must be demanded by the oppressed."

LOOKING AHEAD Many of the Trojans are interested in working in sports after their time at USC is finished. A popular career choice amongst the Trojans is sports broadcasting. Junior Notre Dame transfer Morgan Andrews is a broadcast journalism major. That program is very rigorous and tough to balance with a student-athlete’s schedule, but Andrews is able to get it done with discipline and time-management. Reilly Parker, a communications major at USC, has completed multiple internships to bolster her resume as she looks to break into sports broadcasting. She completed summer internships with ABC 7 in Los Angeles as a sports intern, where she interviewed professional athletes and coaches, attended sporting events, obtained sound bites, and logged games. She also served as a personal assistant and runner to ABC Executives and Talent in studio, press box, broadcasting booth, and production trucks at professional and college games, as well as the 2015 Special Olympics World Games in Los Angeles, CA. Both Parker and senior Jamie Fink, who is also a communications major, have completed internships with FOX Sports. Senior Tamara Mejia spent the summer studying abroad in Spain.

THIS WEEKThe Trojans (3-3-1) return to the road this weekend, traveling first to Pacific on Friday, Sept. 18 at 7 p.m. PT. They then travel to Saint Mary’s for an 11 a.m. PT match on Sunday, Sept. 20. Overall the Trojans are 1-1 in true road games this season.

SCOUTING PACIFICThe Trojans are 4-0 all-time vs. the Tigers, including a 3-0 victory at McAlister Field last season. The last time the Trojans visited Stockton, Calif., was in 2009, where they won 3-2.

SCOUTING SAINT MARY’SThe Trojans are 3-0-1 all-time vs. the Gaels. The Trojans are 1-0-1 all-time in Moraga, Calif. The last time we played in Moraga was in 2004. The Trojans won, 2-1.

FINDING THE BACK OF THE NETThe Trojans are looking to find the back of the net more consistently, as the high-powered offense scored 42 goals last season, but only six over seven games on the year. Two true freshmen, Hailey Hite and Mckenzie Taylor each have one goal, game winners vs. Texas Tech and UC Riverside, respectively. Sophomores Sydney Johnson netted a goal vs. UC Riverside and another vs. USD, while Sydney Sladek collected the lone goal at the Duke Nike Classic and Kayla Mills scored the eventual game winner vs. USD.

LAST WEEK AT DUKE NIKE CLASSICThe Trojans played well against then-No. 18 Duke and then-No. 4 North Carolina, but continued to struggle finishing offensive chances in their offensive third. Against Duke, the Trojans outshot the Blue Devils, 11-7 and forced their keeper to make seven saves. The Blue Devils scored in the 8th minute off a missed clearance by usually sure-footed keeper Sammy Jo Prudhomme. Against UNC, the Trojans had a 1-0 lead off a 10th minute goal from Sydney Sladek (assist Nicole Molen). UNC proved to have a deeper bench than the Trojans, as the game-winning goal came in the 67th minute from substitute Sarah Ashley Firstenberg.

MILLS DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEKKayla Mills played a key part in both the defense and the attack for the Trojans last weekend. The ju-nior’s first goal of the season in the 82nd minute was the game-winning goal in the Trojans home opener against San Diego where the Trojans won, 2-1.On the weekend, Mills and her teammates only allowed one goal in 200 minutes of action, including a shutout against then-No. 23 Long Beach State.It is her first time winning a Pac-12 Player of the Week accolade.

ALL TOURNEY HONORSMorgan Andrews and Kayla Mills were named to the All-Tournament Team at the Duke Nike Classic.

RANDLE DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEKDominique Randle led a staunch Trojan defense that held two top-15 teams scoreless for 172 minutes

HEAD COACH KEIDANE MCALPINE

Keidane McAlpine, the 2013 Pac-12 and NSCAA Pacific Region Coach of the Year, was named the new head coach of the USC women’s soccer team on Dec. 16, 2013. He enters his second season at the helm in 2015.

McAlpine came to Troy after serving the past two seasons (2012-13) as head coach at Washington State, where he guided the Cougars to back-to-back NCAA Tournament appearances and a program-best second place finish in the Pac-12 in 2013.

“We conducted a national search with a great pool of candidates, and Keidane really stood out with his vision of what he wants to bring to the USC soccer program,” USC athletic director Pat Haden said of McAlpine. “He has already shown his ability to coach and succeed at the highest level, and his experience as a head coach in the Pac-12 is a big plus. We believe he is uniquely qualified to lead USC back to the successful level that we expect for our soccer program.”

Keidane McAlpine becomes the fourth USC women’s soccer head coach, replacing Ali Khosroshahin, who spent the past seven years (2007-13) at Troy. The Women of Troy won the 2007 NCAA Champion-ship and have made 12 NCAA appearances, but have not reached the postseason since 2010.

This past season at Washington State, McAlpine’s Cougars tied the program record for victories with a 14-3-4 mark. His team and players set or tied 27 school records. In his first season at WSU, McAlpine went 6-4-1 in Pac-12 play and finished up 12-6-2 overall in reaching the 2012 NCAA Tournament. In his two years in Pullman, McAlpine saw one Cougar named an NSCAA All-American and Pac-12 Player of the Year while picking up his own selection as the 2013 Pac-12 Coach of the Year. In those two years, McAlpine coached six Cougars to All-Pac-12 honor rolls. Considered an offensive-minded coach, McAlpine showed his defensive savvy while at WSU as the Cougars finished 2013 ranked No. 7 in the nation with only 11 goals allowed.

Prior to Washington State, McAlpine spent six years (2006-11) as an assistant at Auburn, helping the Tigers to NCAA appearances each season along with three SEC West titles.

A 1997 graduate of Birmingham-Southern College, he spent three seasons (1998-2000) as an assistant women’s coach before taking over as his alma mater’s head women’s coach in 2001 for the program’s first season of NCAA competition following participation at the NAIA level. In 2004, McAlpine’s fourth season as head coach at Birmingham-Southern, the team won the Big South championship and reached the NCAA Tournament, helping secure McAlpine honors as the Big South Coach of the Year. He helped develop 12 all-conference selections and a Big South Freshman of the Year recipient as the Panthers went 40-48-11 (.460) in the first five seasons (2001-05) in NCAA play. As an assistant at BSC during the Panthers’ NAIA years, he helped the team to its first NAIA Tournament in 2000.

In all, McAlpine has spent seven seasons as a head coach (five at Birmingham-Southern, two at Washington State), having accumulated a 66-57-17 (.532) record at the helm of those two programs, with three NCAA appearances.

Active in Olympic Development Program for many years, McAlpine is currently on the Region IV staff with the ‘99 age group. He also worked in Region III as head coach for the U-13 group and was on the U-14 staff in the summer of 2010 after joining the U-13 staff in the summer of 2009. McAlpine holds a National “A” Coaching License from the United States Soccer Federation and a National Goalkeeping License. He was actively involved as a coach with the Alabama Youth Soccer Association Olympic Development Program and several club teams. In the summer A native of Huntsville, Ala., McAlpine earned a bachelor’s degree in music business with a minor in computer science from Birmingham-Southern in 1997.

at the NM Lobos Invitational, Aug. 21-23.The Trojans, who went 1-1 on the weekend, shut out then-No. 13 Texas Tech, allowing them only six shots in the match and shored up the defense even tighter in the second half, not allowing a corner kick to the dangerous Red Raiders to go on and win their first match of the season, 1-0.Then against the reigning national champions and current No. 1 Florida State, Randle and her defense held the Seminoles scoreless for 82 minutes, thwarting multiple attacks. The Seminoles were only allowed nine shots and just four on goal through 90 minutes. They finally broke through in the 83rd minute with the eventual game-winning goal, but that was the only goal Randle and the Trojans gave up through two tough matches.This is Randle’s first career Defensive Player of the Week nod. She was also named to the College Soccer 360 Primetime Players of the Week.

ONE MOMENT ONE NOWThe Trojans’ theme this year is “One Moment, One Now.” Coach McAlpine is encouraging the team to have the mindset of focusing on one game at a time, staying within the moment and focusing on the task at hand. Also written as the #1M1N, “I’m In,” it reminds all the student-athletes to buy in and be a part of the mentality.

THIS YEAR’S MIXConsistency is key to this year’s group, which returns nine starters from last season and adds strong rein-forcements in college transfers Sammy Jo Prudhomme, Morgan Andrews and Amanda Rooney. Six true freshmen also join the fold of 20 returners, led by impact defender Ally Prisock.

IN GOALTrojan fans will see a new goalkeeper in 2015, as three-year starter Caroline Stanley graduated and is cur-rently competing for the Seattle Reign of the National Women’s Soccer League. Fortunately, the Trojans have a good one waiting in the wings, as redshirt junior Sammy Jo Prudhomme has patiently sat out the last season after transferring within conference from Oregon State last year. Prudomme, a Pac-12 All-Fresh-man team honoree in 2012 made 188 saves for the Beavers in just two seasons. Senior Faith Sugerman and sophomore Julia Murphy round out the goalkeeping core and the group has had competitive sessions all camp.

THE DEFENSEThe Trojans return the entire back line with Whitney Pitalo, Dominique Randle and the highly-decorated Kayla Mills, who earned All-Pac-12 and NSCAA West Region honors in 2014, as well as being named the No. 15 player nationally by TopDrawerSoccer. Joining the strong core is freshman Ally Prisock, who entered school a semester early and was able to hit the ground running this fall. Redshirt freshman Abigail Callahan also adds more depth in the back, along with U.S. Youth National team alum Mandy Freeman, who is being transitioned to the midfield, but can still play in the back.

THE MIDFIELDMandy Freeman will anchor the midfield, along with highly-touted transfers Morgan Andrews (Notre Dame) and Amanda Rooney (North Carolina). Returning veterans Erin Owen, Jamie Fink and Dana Schwartz, along with rising sophomore Nicole Molen provide an outstanding midfield for Troy.

THE FORWARDSOne big hole that the Trojans will have to fill is the loss of 2014 leading scorer Alex Quincey’s 10 goals. Fink was tied for second on the team with six goals and McAlpine hopes she can find the back of the net more often this season. Those joining Fink at striker this season to fill the void left by Quincey are redshirt junior Reilly Parker, seniors Tamara Mejia and Natalie Donaldson, sophomore Sydney Sladek and freshman Olga Langenskiöld.

TUNE IN TO THE TROJANSUSC’s 2015 schedule features eight televised games for the Women of Troy. The team will play four games at home and four on the road on the Pac-12 Networks.

PRESEASON ACCOLADESJunior defender Kayla Mills was named the No. 15 player nationally by TopDrawerSoccer, while transfer midfielder Morgan Andrews was named the 40th-best.

AROD A WORLD CUP CHAMPIONUSC’s Amy Rodriguez started collecting championship hardware as a Trojan, her winning efforts spanning the 2007 NCAA Championship with USC before stepping onto the Olympic gold-medal podium in Beijing and London with Team USA. She also won the NWSL title in 2014. Now, Rodriguez and her fellow U.S. Na-tional Team members have given the U.S. its third star, as the team won the 2015 World Cup in Vancouver, Can. Rodriguez made her first start in the 2015 FIFA Women’s World Cup against China in the quarterfinals after seeing her first 2015 FIFA Women’s World Cup action against Sweden on June 12, 2015.
