TROY, Alabama – The Troy volleyball team dropped its third straight match, all in five sets, as it fell to Arkansas State, 3-2 (22-25, 16-25, 25-21, 25-23, 18-16), at Trojan Arena on Friday night. The Trojans won the first two sets, but the Red Wolves fought back to take three tight sets and the match.
Â
Troy (9-7, 1-3) will have to make a quick turn around as Texas State, the defending Sun Belt champion, visits Trojan Arena on Saturday night. On Friday night, Troy out hit Arkansas State (7-5, 2-1) with 77 kills and a .241 attack percentage to the Red Wolves' 63 kills and .188 percentage.

Â
Kiah Cheatham led Troy offensively with 20 kills and just three errors on 35 attempts for a .486 attack percentage. She was one of five with double-digit kills as Symone Shaw (18), Marija Zelenovic (16), Blair Winston (11) and Darby Griff (10) all topped the 10-kill mark.
