USC (25-1, 3-1 MPSF) hadn't lost since May 9, 2015, when Stanford won 9-8 in an NCAA semifinal at Avery Aquatic Center. It was also the first time a road team has won at Uytengsu Aquatics Center since the Cardinal did so on March 8, 2015 (12-9).

Gabby Stone made 11 saves on 21 shot attempts (.524) and Maggie Steffens had three assists and four of Stanford's five steals as the Cardinal held USC to three goals on nine power-play opportunities.

Five Cardinal scored two goals apiece and No. 2 Stanford led wire-to-wire to beat No. 1 USC 12-8 on Saturday evening and snap the Trojans' NCAA-record 52-match winning streak.

Games was successful after fighting for position in front at 3:36, but Neushul pegged one to the inside post from eight meters out 30 seconds later to increase Stanford's lead to 7-3.

Dudley took a one-touch pass from Raney on the doorstep in the 6-on-5 (4:45) and Berggren was money with a lefty lob (4:07) the next time down the pool.

The offenses exploded in the second, each scoring four times. With the shot clock down to three on Stanford's first possession of the period, Raney fired from distance and scored (7:07). Stephania Haralabidis bagged USC's second at 6:37, but the Cardinal forged ahead with two more from Dudley and Madison Berggren to go up 6-2.

Fischer's two first-quarter scores sandwiched a back-hand, inside-water lob from Jamie Neushul at 5:56 and one of Brigitta Games' game-high three goals for USC with 3:57 on the clock.

The Cardinal drew an exclusion in transition and Fischer skipped it in right after the sides came even at 6:57 in the first quarter. She tacked on another more than five minutes later after Stone made a save and pushed ahead to the freshman streaking up the right side of the pool.

Dudley was calm while draped by a pair of USC defenders, gripped it and ripped it past keeper Amanda Longan for Stanford's final score with 4:09 to go.

Steffens rattled the cage with 17 ticks left in the third and then Jackovich went back-to-back to begin the fourth. She started with a back-handed strike that was her 100th career goal and then skipped home No. 101 after finding some space in front midway through the final frame.

Raney ended what was a nine-minute scoreless drought for the Cardinal when she settled at the top of Stanford's offensive set, pumped and scored with 2:01 on the clock. Her goal ignited a five-score run that put the game away.

The Trojans weren't dead in the water, scoring three unanswered to pull to within one, 7-6, at 2:28 in the third.

Stanford will have another showdown for first place in the MPSF when it hosts UCLA (18-1, 4-0 MPSF) next Saturday at 1 p.m
