Opposition form guide
USC reached the second round after getting past UT Arlington (3-0) yesterday afternoon — ending their opponents’ 20-match winning streak in the process.
Prior to that, the Women of Troy had won their previous two Big Ten matches, beating Washington (3-1) on the road and Iowa (3-0) at home.
USC’s most recent loss came at Purdue in late November (0-3), but that is the team’s only defeat in their last six outings.
Anything else to know?
The Longhorns built on their impressive regular season form by sweeping Texas A&M-Corpus Christi — 25-11, 25-23, 25-12 — in Thursday's NCAA first round match-up.
Madi was in fine form during the 3-0 triumph, recording a match-leading 15 kills and a team-high seventh double-double with 11 digs, as well as hitting .444.
That’s now seven consecutive victories for Texas, so confidence should be high ahead of this evening’s game.
