USC defeated Cal 10-9 in the NCAA Women's Championship at UC San Diego's Canyonview Pool. The victory was USC's first since 2021 with the help of three assists by senior Maggie Johnson. The game was a reunion between Johnson and Bonaguidi, who last played together in high school. Despite Bonaguid's assist, USC was unable to extend their lead beyond two goals. The Trojans claimed their eighth title overall in the 25-year history of the event.
