LOS ANGELES (AP) –– Destiny Littleton scored 18 points and had six assists as Southern California pulled off a program-defining win on Sunday with a 55-46 upset of No. 2 Stanford.
Okako Adika tallied 11 points and 11 rebounds, while Taylor Bigby and Kayla Williams added nine points each as the Trojans set the tone with their defense and held on late to end a 14-game losing streak against the Cardinal, who had won 51 straight against unranked opponents.
It was USC’s first victory over Stanford since the 2014 Pac-12 tournament.
“I just thought we really took care of business this weekend, which is the understatement of the century,” USC coach Lindsay Gottlieb said. “Stanford is so good. They’re No. 2 in the country. I thought we executed the game plan, were super tough and made plays the whole game. I haven’t even looked at the stat sheet, because who cares, right?”
USC (13-4, 3-3 Pac-12) held Stanford to four points in the first quarter, its low for any period this season. The Trojans led by as many as 11 points early in the fourth quarter before closing out the victory, eight days after a heartbreaking one-point loss to then-No. 12 UCLA.
Cameron Brink registered 11 points and 14 rebounds for Stanford (17-2, 5-1), which saw its 12-game winning streak come to a halt. The defeat also ended the Cardinal’s 39-game winning streak over Pac-12 competition.
