MONROE, Louisiana – The Troy soccer team dropped an important Sun Belt Conference match on the road, 3-2, to ULM on Friday.

Freshman Qarli Stone put the Trojans on top in the 20^th minute when she dribbled through the defense and beat the ULM goalkeeper to the far post.

After the Warhawks responded three minutes later, sophomore Alison Watkins landed her first career goal to give Troy a 2-1 advantage. Again ULM responded, this time just before halftime.

The Warhawks (7-8-2, 4-4-1 SBC) found the game-winner in the 49^th minute.

QUOTABLE
"It was a very disappointing game, we only had one or two players play well and that isn't going to be enough to win a game at any level," head coach Jason Hamilton said.

"We only gave up five shots, but three went in the goal. There was a real lack of pride in defending today. ULM looked like the team that was desperate to get into the tournament and we played like a team that was already safe. Now, it's the opposite, we are on the outside looking in with a very deep hole we may not be able to get out of."

UP NEXT
Troy (7-8-3, 3-4-2) faces off against Little Rock on the road on Sunday in the team's regular season finale. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m.

NOTEWORTHY
• Freshman Qarli Stone made her first career start. She had made 14 appearances prior to Friday.

• Stone scored her second career goal in the first half.

• The loss was the first by Troy to ULM in nine meetings.
