📈 STOCK UP

🔼 Nearly A Comeback. Troy scored 21 unanswered points in the third quarter to rally from a slow start in the first half, but Arkansas State scored a touchdown with 33 seconds remaining to escape Centennial Bank Stadium with a 34-31 win in Sun Belt action. Wide receiver Devonte Ross tied a career-high with 11 catches for 126 yards, his fourth 100-yard game this season, just one off Troy's single-season record. On defense, Brendan Jackson, Damaje Yancey and Devin Lafayette all set career highs with 10 tackles to lead Troy.

🔼 Late Game Heroics. The Trojans earned their first conference win of the season thanks to some late-game heroics from Jiselle Daniels. The redshirt junior slotted home the match’s only goal in the 82nd minute of the game to help lead Troy to victory. The offense out-shot Coastal Carolina 14-8, as goalkeeper Nittany Vega finished with three saves to finish with a clean sheet.

🔼 One Last Time. Senior Jake Springer shot 4-under to lead Troy men’s golf to a ninth-place finish in the final round at the Steelwood Collegiate Championship.  Springer finished in a tie for 16th place, his second straight event leading the Trojans after winning the Everett GMC Classic earlier this month. The Trojans' fall schedule is complete and they are off until mid-February when they travel to Laredo, Texas, for The Border Olympics.
