USC women's tennis team accidentally smashes Pac-12 trophy

Before you read any further, just remember: there's not a whole lot of catching involved in tennis.

The USC women's tennis team won the Pac-12 championship on Thursday over UCLA, which is certainly a notable achievement worth celebrating. And when the team celebrated, well, things got a bit out of hand:

Whoops.

It's not the first time a precious trophy has ended up in shards. Most notably, Alabama's $30,000 Waterford crystal football commemorating the football team's 2011 national championship shattered when a player's father bumped the case. Similarly, a recruit destroyed Florida's 2006 championship football by accident in 2008.

Still, a trophy's just a trophy; it's the celebration that counts. And the team enjoyed the victory as well as a fine new story:

Congrats to the team. Perhaps they can incorporate it into their next hype video:
