TROY, Alabama – Coastal Carolina jumped out to an early lead then added another goal late to seal a 2-0 victory over Troy on Friday at the Troy Soccer Complex.

The Chanticleers (9-4-2, 6-1-1 SBC) opened the scoring just two minutes into the game when Montanna Hill headed down a lofted cross and Daniella Famili fired home the shot. Coastal Carolina, leaders in the Sun Belt Conference standings, put the final nail in the coffin in the 79^th minute when Baylee Price hit a rocket from 25 yards out that sailed over Troy keeper Mikki Lewis' head.

Troy matched CCU in shots, 14-14, but were unable to take advantage of several good looks.

QUOTABLE
"When you dig a hole (early), it's always going to be difficult to play," head coach Jason Hamilton said.

"We knew exactly how they were going to play; they are an athletic team and we had a good game plan and we did a fairly good job of executing that game plan. We had 14 shots, we've got to do a better job of putting the ball into the back of the net."

UP NEXT
Troy (6-7-3, 2-3-2) hosts Texas State on Sunday at 1 p.m. Senior Day recognition will take place 15 minutes prior to kickoff.

NOTEWORTHY
• The loss was the just the third for Troy is its last 27 matches at home.

• The shutout loss marked the first time Troy has been held goalless in a loss at home since Louisiana Tech defeated the Trojans 2-0 on Aug. 30, 2013.
