🔼 Rally Stopped Short. Troy scored 16 consecutive points across the third and fourth quarters but couldn't dig out of an early hole as Louisiana held off the Trojans, 51-30, on the road on Saturday. The Trojans pulled within seven with just over 11 minutes to play, but that was as close as Troy would get. Matthew Caldwell completed 26-of-42 passes for 230 yards and four touchdowns, plus a pair of interceptions while Damien Taylor led Troy's ground game with 67 yards on 16 carries.

🔼 Crown ‘Em. The Troy women's basketball program, led by the tournament's Most Outstanding Player Shaulana Wagner and All-Tournament Team member Zay Dyer, are crowned champions of the 41st Great Alaska Shootout on Saturday night with an 86-69 victory over North Dakota State. The Trojans join the likes of Stanford, Ohio State, South Carolina, Tennessee and more as shootout champions as they blowout the Bisons by outscoring them 51-33 in the second half.

🔼 Turkey Week Matchup. The Trojans will host UTSA tonight at Trojan Arena for the Trojan Turkey Tipoff at 7 p.m. Sitting at 3-2 so far this season, Troy men’s basketball is coming off a convincing 19-point win over West Georgia where the team shot 51 percent from the field and 40 percent from behind the arc.

🔼 Signed, Sealed, Committed. Troy soccer coach Stuart Gore announced the signings of nine players to the Trojans' 2025 class. A mix of student-athletes from Texas, Georgia, Florida and Virginia, the nine newest Trojans will compete for Troy during the 2025-26 school year.

🗣️ "This is our first true class that we've been able to watch and engage with from the very beginning of their recruiting journey. This group brings a high soccer and technical IQ, which we believe will significantly raise the ceiling of our team moving forward." - Stuart Gore
