On Saturday, May 13, 2017, Trojan Candy took a picture of 2020 Men's Volleyball Seniors Michael Chang (with the blue shirt) and Matt Faraimo (behind Michael on the right) at the Volleyball Awards Brunch. They were freshmen then. Congratulations and FIGHT ON, Michael! Congratulations and FIGHT ON, Matt!
My husband Jim and I like to go to as many Women of Troy Volleyball matches as we can. Trojan Candy attended the 2020 Women's Volleyball Brunch on January 12, 2020, when all five Seniors were honored.
Trojan Candy met the USC Men's Water Polo Seniors at their Senior Day Celebration on Saturday, November 2, 2019. It happened before our men played against Stanford. All of these pictures were taken on Senior Day.
Here are all five 2020 Men's Water Polo Seniors. Wearing beautiful leis were Marin Dasic, Troy Furniss, Sam Slobodien, Luka Karaman and Matt Maier.
The Women of Troy Water Polo Team had six 2020 Seniors.
Trojan Candy interviewed Senior Kaylee Brownsberger at, of all places, a USC football game. On Friday, September 21, 2018, when Trojan Candy was sitting in her Coliseum seat watching USC play WSU in a football game, Kaylee and her mother were sitting right next to me. It took a while before I learned that Kaylee was who she was. Naturally, Trojan Candy interviewed Kaylee during the halftime. By the way, USC beat WSU 39-36. Congratulations and FIGHT ON, Kaylee!
The other five, including Kaylee, 2020 Women of Troy Water Polo Seniors were introduced in Trojan Candy's video of their introduction before their match vs. San Jose State on Saturday, March 25, 2017. Meet 2020 Seniors Holly Parker, Denise Mammolito, Kelsey McIntosh, Elise Stein, Kaylee Brownsberger and Alaina Cousineau. Congratulations and FIGHT ON, Holly, Denise, Kelsey, Elise and Alaina!
Trojan Candy was able to record Senior Denise Mammolito's hat trick in the match vs. Stanford on Sunday, May 13, 2018. Her last goal in the final 1:07 of the match was the winning goal! Our Women of Troy beat Stanford to win their Sixth NCAA Women's Water Polo National Championship! See Denise's winning shot here.
Then, in Coach Jovan Vavic's final water polo match as the USC head coach on March 8, 2019, Trojan Candy was able to take a picture and a video of Elise Stein's two goals against San Jose State University. Here is my picture of her first goal.
This is my video of Elise's second goal. Our Women of Troy beat San Jose State 22-8. Trojan Candy knows that Coach Vavic was very proud of Elise and the entire team. FIGHT ON FOREVER, Coach Vavic!
