TROY, Ala. – For the second consecutive season, Troy volleyball will aim to play spoiler at the Sun Belt Conference Championship starting with fifth-seeded UTA Thursday at 6:30 p.m. (CST) in the GSU Sports Arena in Atlanta.
The Trojans (11-18, 5-11) and Mavs (15-11, 9-7) second meeting this season will be broadcast on ESPN+. When the two teams met back in October, UTA swept Troy in three sets at Trojan Arena.
Troy's carrying a load of momentum into the tournament after knocking off defending conference champ Coastal Carolina in a five-set thriller Saturday night. All-Sun Belt second teamer Cheyenne Hayes led the Trojans with 23 kills, 11 digs and two service aces in the match.
Freshman setter Amara Anderson recorded her fifth match with 50-plus assists and moved into ninth place on the school's single-season assists record – one day removed from setting the all-time freshman assists record.
Troy has now advanced to the conference tournament in both of head coach Josh Lauer's first two seasons at the helm of the program. In 2017, No. 8 Troy sent No. 5 South Alabama packing in the opening round of the tournament.
