No. 1 recruiting class again

The USC women's volleyball team used the addition of last year's top recruiting class to make its first appearance last season in the Final Four after a 15-year absence, and the Women of Troy just may accomplish that feat once again in 2001.

Both Volleyball magazine and Student Sports Magazine named USC's incoming class No. 1 in the nation, the second consecutive year that Volleyball magazine has given USC this honor. Joining the already loaded Women of Troy next season are Emily Adams (Xavier College Prep, Phoenix), Alicia Robinson (Central High, Phoenix) and Keao Burdine (La Habra High, La Habra, Calif.).

Pacific-10 Conference rivals Stanford and UCLA's incoming classes were ranked in the top 5 by both publications.

Rain delays

For the second straight day, the game between the No. 5 USC baseball team and San Diego has been postponed. It will be played on March 14 at 5 p.m. This is the fourth straight cancellation for the Trojans.

The rain also washed out the No. 23 USC men's tennis match against crosstown rival UCLA. The match has been rescheduled for March 6 at Marks Stadium at 1:30 p.m.

First step

Looking for its first national championship since 1938, the USC ice hockey club team is one step closer as it defeated Siena College, 6-4, Wednesday in first round action of the ACHA Division II National Championships at the Forum at Fishers Ice Arena in Indianapolis. The Trojans take on Ferris State today at 6:45 a.m.
