USC women wrap up final road trip of regular season against Penn State

Jazzy Davidson wiped away tears using the sleeve of her warm-up jacket during a postgame press conference. USC had just lost to No. 13 Ohio State, 88-83.

“We’re all competitors and we all want to win,” she told reporters. “It’s just a hard loss, but it’s fine. We’ll learn from it.”

Head coach Lindsay Gottlieb patted Davidson’s leg in a comforting gesture. The Trojans (17-10 overall, 9-7 Big Ten) have dug deep and shed tears in order to find themselves this season, and have learned a lot along the way.
