📈 STOCK UP
🔼 Trojan Takedown. Troy's late-season resurgence continued Saturday as the Trojans walked into Paulson Stadium and walked away with a 28-20 victory over Sun Belt East Division-leading Georgia Southern. Quarterback Matthew Caldwell accounted for all four of Troy's touchdowns, rushing for a pair of scores and throwing touchdown passes to Brody Dalton and Devonte Ross, while the Troy defense limited the Eagles to just 246 yards of total offense on 48 plays.
🗣️ "Sometimes I wish our Troy faithful could come watch these guys practice…sooner or later, you have to start seeing some results, and we are seeing that now. We have to have that to create belief in what is there, and we have that now. We are behaving like a team that wants to keep playing." - Gerad Parker
🎥 Troy wins, Troy sings — and goes to Buccee’s
💯 The first team in the SBC to reach 100 conference wins
🔼 Road Test. Troy men's basketball struggled to piece together consistent offense and fell to Oregon, 82-61, on the road on Sunday afternoon. Myles Rigsby led Troy with 15 points and has scored in double-figures in every game this season — the only Trojan to achieve that mark this year.
🔼 Playoff Time. Following Troy volleyball’s four-set win over App State on Friday night, the Trojans secure the No. 4 seed out of the West Division for the Sun Belt Conference Tournament. The Trojans closed out their regular season winning five of its final six matches, and Tori Hester recorded 120 kills over the final four matches of the regular season, including 30-plus kills in three of those. Troy will take on Georgia State on Thursday at 1:30 p.m. in a First Round matchup.
