USC's Juju Watkins, Saniyah Hall earn Big Ten honors for opening week

The USC women's basketball team is off to a strong start to the season. The Trojans scored 100 or more points in each of their first two games as they opened the year with two dominant victories.

On Monday, the Big Ten announced its conference honors for the first week of the 2026-2027 season. USC took home multiple awards, with Juju Watkins being named the league's Co-Player of the Week and Saniyah Hall taking home Freshman of the Week.

Watkins, returning to the court for the first time since March of 2025, shined in her first games back. In Sunday's victory over Utah State, she racked up 32 points, 16 rebounds, six assists, and five steals. Hall, meanwhile, scored 20 or more points in both of her first two college basketball games.

The Women of Troy will be back in action on Tuesday night when they host College of the Charleston at Galen Center. Tipoff is set for 7:30 p.m. Pacific time on Big Ten Network.
