There was definitely excitement in the Galen Center for today's Women of Troy basketball game.
The Women of Troy beat Stanford for the first time since 2014. It was also the first win at home against the Cardinal since 2008.
KEEP FIGHTING ON, Women of Troy Basketball!
USC Beach Volleyball Head Coach Dain Blanton was the Guest Speaker today at our Town and Gown meeting. Trojan Candy took videos of his presentation.
[Video] Coach Blanton told us about his training as an indoor men’s volleyball player at Pepperdine and then as Beach Volleyball athlete. He related how he was able to win his first Olympic Gold Medal at the 2000 Olympic Games with partner Eric Fonoimoana. Then he returned to the 2004 Olympic Games with new partner Jeff Nygaard and won his second gold medal.
Coach spoke about his early experiences as a volunteer coach at USC and his experiences as the Head Coach of the Women of Troy Beach Volleyball Team. Coach Blanton and his team have won two back-to-back NCAA Championships in 2001 and 2002. Congratulations Women of Troy Beach Volleyball!
[Videos] Coach Blanton invited two of his players to come to our meeting and talk about their experiences at USC. They were twin Seniors Audrey (in black shirt) and Nicole Nourse. After Audrey and Nicole talked, Coach Blanton opened up the session to questions.
Trojan Candy has been lucky enough to interview both Audrey and Nicole when they were freshmen at USC. Enjoy reading their interviews. KEEP FIGHTING ON, Audrey (2/21/2020) and Nicole (2/21/2020)
It was so nice to see Coach Blanton, Audrey, and Nicole again! I can't wait to watch the team in their quest for another NCAA title!
After the Town and Gown meeting ended, a nice Town and Gown member took a picture of my sister Patti Poon and me posing with Coach Dain Blanton.
What an informative meeting!
