LOS ANGELES – The sixth-ranked USC women’s volleyball team (3-0) will get tested this weekend as the Women of Troy head to Lexington, Ky., for the Commonwealth Classic (Sept. 5-6) hosted by University of Kentucky. The Trojans will face 16th-ranked host Kentucky (3-0) in their first match (Sept. 5), and then take on Creighton (2-1) and Northern Iowa (2-1) in matches on Sept. 6.
USC will have played six straight matches away from home to open the season but is familiar with the territory. The Trojans went 6-0 on the road to start 2013.
The Women of Troy will play in the state of Kentucky for just the third time in program history when they take on the Wildcats. USC’s only other matches in the Bluegrass State took place during the 2004 NCAA tournament when Louisville, Ky., hosted one of the regional championships. That year, the Trojans defeated San Diego and Nebraska en route to an appearance in the NCAA’s final four.
USC has faced teams from the state of Kentucky just twice. The Trojans beat Northern Kentucky, 15-3, 15-5, on Dec. 8, 1978, at the AIAW Championships in Tuscaloosa, Ala. In its only other match against a foe from the state, USC defeated Kentucky, 3-0 (15-9, 15-10, 15-4), in the Long Beach State Tournament on Nov. 29, 1996.
