🔼 Feelin’ Grand. The Troy Baseball squad picked up its third straight Sun Belt series win and did so in unbelievable fashion.

Down 9-3 entering the final three innings of Sunday’s rubber match, the Trojans outscored Louisiana 12-2 to close the game, including a walk-off grand slam by Jimmy Janicki to give Troy a 15-11 series-clinching victory.

By taking two-of-three from the Ragin’ Cajuns, Troy moves into a tie for second-place in the league standings with Southern Miss at 11-7 in conference action.

🔼 Sneak Peek. Nothing like having Troy Football back on the field at The Vet!

The Trojans had an incredible T-Day experience as the community enjoyed a jam-packed day, including a team brunch, youth camp, yard sale, and oh yeah, some football!

The Trojans capped off its spring camp with the annual T-Day Spring Game. The offense picked up the win, defeating the defense, 38-19, in the simulated gameday environment.

🔼 Spring Sweepin’. With less than a month until the Sun Belt Tournament, the Troy Softball team grabbed a crucial sweep over the weekend, taking all three from Georgia Southern.

Troy hurlers allowed just six runs in the three games with victories of 5-1 on Friday, 6-3 on Saturday and 4-2 on Sunday.

With two regular season series remaining, the Trojans sit in sixth-place with prime position to advance to the 10-team postseason.

🔼 What A Run. The historic season of the Troy men’s tennis team came to a close on Sunday as the Trojans fell to #54 Old Dominion in the Sun Belt Championship match, 4-1.

The Trojans finished the season 24-5, marking the program's most wins since 2015 - the last time Troy reached the Sun Belt Championship match. 

For their efforts over the weekend, multiple Trojans earned All-Tournament Team honors. 

Yeray Andrés Pastor was recognized on Court 3, while Luciano Alcocer and Hiiro Sakamoto were selected at the No. 2 doubles position. Additionally, Andrés Pastor received the Elite Award, presented to the student-athlete with the highest cumulative GPA among the championship match participants.
