🔼 Who’s House? Our House! Big time players make big time plays in big time moments.

That’s exactly what the Troy women’s hoops team did on Wednesday night, outscoring the Monarchs of ODU in the final 90 seconds to claim a HUGE 83-80 Sun Belt victory to remain perfect at home in 2024-25.

Former Old Dominion transfer Brianna Jackson had a memorable 22-rebound, 19-point performance to lead the way. Her 22 rebounds is tied for the second-most rebounds in D-I Troy single-game history.

Zay Dyer matched her in the scoring column (19) for her 17th double-digit scoring performance while being one rebound shy of her 12th double-double (9) – Dyer also had a team-high two blocks. Briana Peguero, who hit arguably the biggest shot of the night with an and-one with 0:22 on the clock, ended with 15 points, two steals, three assists and three rebounds. 

🔼 Always A Trojan. This week, the Troy family lost one of the most beloved figures in Trojan Athletics history.

Earlier this week, former Troy University Sports Hall of Fame member and former Athletics Director Johnny Williams passed away following a battle with leukemia. He was 68 years old.
 
Williams was one of the instrumental leaders in Troy's move from NCAA Division II to Division I. He was named Troy's Athletics Director in the spring of 1994 following a seven-year stint as Troy's defensive coordinator. In addition to his role on the football staff, Williams also assisted in the Athletic Department's business office and with football promotions and served as the football recruiting coordinator.
