It's official: Los Angeles is a Trojans town once again. On Tuesday, USC officially clinched the Crosstown Cup over rival UCLA for the 2024-2025 athletics season.
This marks the 23rd year of the Crosstown Cup competition. The Trojans have now won the title 14 times, with UCLA claiming it the remaining nine.
In the four most popular sports, the playing field between the two schools was dead even. USC won the annual football rivalry game, while UCLA took both meetings in men's basketball. In women's basketball, the Trojans took both regular season matchups to win the Big Ten regular season title, but the Bruins got their revenge in the conference tournament championship game, defeating USC to cut down the nets in Indianapolis.
On the baseball diamond, the two schools split their four meetings 2-2. Both schools will compete in the NCAA Tournament beginning this week, with UCLA hosting a regional and USC traveling north to compete in the Corvallis regional.
This year marked the first time competing in the Big Ten for both schools. As college sports enters a new era, both USC and UCLA are looking to continue their rich tradition of athletic success in a new conference.
