Hayes scored once in each half, putting the Trojans on the board in the 18th minute when she banged home her own rebound on a shot in the box. She would make it 2-0 in the 63rd minute, getting a feed from Simone Jackson in the box. Hayes, who transferred from Texas A&M this offseason, leads USC with six goals on the year.
