9/13/2014 11:47:00 AM | Volleyball
AUBURN, Alabama – The Troy volleyball team dropped a pair of four-set matches on Saturday at the Active Ankle Challenge inside Auburn Arena. Against both South Florida and Winthrop, the Trojans won the first set, but couldn't hold on in what were Troy's final two non-conference matches of the season.
The Trojans played the first match of the day at the tournament, falling to South Florida 3-1 (19-25, 25-22, 25-15, 25-17). Troy again won the first set against Winthrop, but fell to the Eagles 3-1 (18-25, 25-19, 25-23, 25-19).
Troy (8-4) went 0-3 at this weekend's Active Ankle Challenge after Auburn snapped the Trojans' five-match winning streak on Friday night.
Saturday's matches were the final non-conference matches of the season for Troy. Sun Belt play starts on Wednesday when league newcomer Georgia Southern visits Trojan Arena.
