Photo Courtesy: Catharyn Hayne<\/p><\/div>\n<p>In the opening quarter the Trojans used three power play goals in four tries to take a 3-0 lead with 2:58 to play. Cal fought back late in the quarter with a backhand from in front by Papanikolaou to make it 3-1. USC won the second quarter sprint and immediately drew another 6\/5 which was converted by Dasic.\u00a0 Three possessions later, the Trojans made it 5-1 on a great passing combination from Daube to Ehrhardt at the post with 5:56 to play in the quarter.<\/p>\n<p>The Golden Bears answered with a three-goal run of their own in a span of 2:20, cashing in two extra man situations, plus a direct shot by Papanikolaou to make it 5-4 with three minutes to play in the half. Then the Trojans rallied with three scores on their next five possessions to make the score 8-4 at intermission.<\/p>\n<p>During the first half, USC scored six extra man goals in eight attempts, while holding the Bears to two scores in five opportunities.<\/p>\n<h3>A Golden Bear surge falls just short<\/h3>\n<p>After halftime, California surged back into the game with two goals in the first 3:10, one on a penalty shot by Simsek and another on a power play marker by Loth. USC answered with another three-goal run: a 6 on 5 goal by Daube and two scores by Dasic, one a natural goal and then a penalty shot, extending the USC lead to 11-6 with less than two minutes left in the third.\u00a0 The teams then traded 6\/5 goals in the final minute of the period making the score 12-7 USC.<\/p>\n<p>The fourth quarter was eventful for Cal, beginning with a quality save by Weinberg on a step out attempt by the Trojans Slobodien. That triggered a goal in transition by Cal in the form of heavy shot just under the crossbar by Untrecht. The goal drew Cal to within 12-8. Everist was issued a Red Card shortly after an exclusion to Simsek. USC&#8217;s <strong>Luke Wyatt<\/strong> converted the ensuing 6 on 5 for what would be his team\u2019s only goal of the quarter, which pushed the Trojans to a 13-8 advantage with 6:27 to play in the game.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_395796\" style=\"width: 1033px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-395796\" data-attachment-id=\"395796\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/usc-trojans-knock-off-cal-bears-13-12-2019-mpsf-invitational\/cal-usc-mpsf-sep19\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/cal-usc-mpsf-sep19.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"2200,1467\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;4&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;ILCE-9&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1569753260&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;168&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;400&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.0003125&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"cal-usc-mpsf-sep19\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;cal-usc-mpsf-sep19&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Photo Courtesy: Catharyn Hayne&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/cal-usc-mpsf-sep19-700x500.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/cal-usc-mpsf-sep19-1024x683.jpg\" class=\"wp-image-395796\" src=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/cal-usc-mpsf-sep19-700x500.jpg\" alt=\"cal-usc-mpsf-sep19\" width=\"1023\" height=\"682\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/cal-usc-mpsf-sep19-280x187.jpg 280w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/cal-usc-mpsf-sep19-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/cal-usc-mpsf-sep19-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/cal-usc-mpsf-sep19-450x300.jpg 450w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/cal-usc-mpsf-sep19-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/cal-usc-mpsf-sep19-2000x1334.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/cal-usc-mpsf-sep19-1350x900.jpg 1350w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/cal-usc-mpsf-sep19-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/cal-usc-mpsf-sep19-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/cal-usc-mpsf-sep19-533x355.jpg 533w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1023px) 100vw, 1023px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-395796\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Cal&#8217;s Joe Molina being defended by USC Luka Karaman.
