The Trojans fell 7-0 at No. 12 South Carolina on Saturday. Junior Irving Morales was the only Trojan to win a set in the loss for Troy.
The Trojans won the doubles point at Alabama, but then were swept in singles play in a 6-1 loss at No. 56 Alabama on Sunday.
South Carolina is a great team. They just outplayed us,” Troy head coach Eric Hayes said. Against Alabama, we didn't make the clutch plays and they did. That's disappointing. We'll use these matches to get better.”
The Trojans play at Auburn on Feb. 8
