USC has a record this season of 48-16 and a mark of 20-10 in Big Ten conference play. USC made it to their first NCAA Tournament in a decade this season and earned the No. 2 seed in the College Station Regional.

The tournament got off to a rough start for USC, as they fell in their first game of the double elimination regional to the Texas State Bobcats. USC had to win their next four games to stay alive. That's exactly what they did.

The Trojans beat Lamar and Texas State in back-to-back games to make their way into the Regional Championship against the host and top seed in the regional, the Texas A&M Aggies. USC won two games in a row against the Aggies to lock up a spot in the Super Regional.

With the win over North Carolina in game one, USC has now won five games in a row. They will look to keep this streak going when game two gets underway on Saturday. First pitch is scheduled for 11 a.m. PT and will be broadcast on ESPN.

The starters for each team have not yet been determined.
