Katie Johnson broke a tie in the 75th minute and Southern California won the NCAA women's soccer title Sunday, beating top-ranked West Virginia 3-1 at Avaya Stadium on Sunday. The second-seeded Trojans (19-4-2) also won the College Cup in 2007. The Mountaineers (23-2-2) lost for the first time since a 1-0 setback to Georgetown on Sept. 18. USC won its 126th national team title on the same day its men's water polo team lost 10-8 to Cal in the NCAA final just 45 miles away in Berkeley. West Virginia, in its first College Cup final, was hoping to claim its first NCAA title in any sport besides its co-ed rifle team, which has won 18 national titles.
