Friday, February 28, 2020---Nice Women of Troy T-Shirts!
My husband and I attended the Women of Troy basketball game against Utah at the Galen Center.
As you can read in the PREVIOUS PAGE, Trojan Candy and my husband Jim attended the HBO premiere of "Women of Troy" on the USC campus. Each guest at the premiere received a custom Women of Troy basketball jersey. Our names were pressed along with a player's number. Thirty-one was Cheryl Miller's number and forty-four was Cynthia Cooper's number.
After our Women of Troy beat Utah 69-66, and we were enjoying the post-game celebration, Jim, my sister Patti and brother-in-law Dudley Poon and I modeled our basketball jerseys for my friend Aileen Osato (8/15/2008). Thanks for taking this picture of us, Aileen. After all, it was your idea!
In the game, two freshmen played very well. Alissa Pili scored 29 points, and Endyia Rogers scored 18 points.
FIGHT ON, Women of Troy! Beat Colorado next!
