MOBILE, Ala. – For the first time in the 16-game series between the schools, Troy and Jacksonville State failed to decide a winner as the teams battled to a 0-0 at The Cage on Friday.

It was Troy's (2-3-1) first overtime game and draw of the season. Last year, the Trojans tied program records with three draws and six overtime matches. Jacksonville State (2-1-2) has tied two consecutive games.

Troy took 11 shots in the game while JSU attempted eight, seven of the Trojans' shots came in the second half of the game. Maddie Brune and Qarli Stone were the lone Trojans to get off multiple shots with two each. Redshirt freshman Haleigh Mercer played all 110 minutes in goal to earn the shutout and her first career win.
