Trojans Remain No. 1 After Impressive Opening Weekend in Pac-12

SKILLMAN, N.J. - Last weekend marked the beginning of conference play for the USC men, as the Trojans swept through the Bay Area. USC did not surrender a point to Stanford, beating the Cardinal 7-0 in Palo Alto. The Trojans followed up that result with a 5-2 victory over Cal in Berkeley. On the women's side, the rankings remain the same for another week, as a new poll will not be published this week with the 2012 ITA National Women's Team Indoor Championship to begin Friday morning at the Boar's Head Sports Club in Charlottesville, Va.
