TROY, Alabama – Troy wrapped up its 2017-18 home schedule with a 94-62 win over ULM on Saturday in Trojan Arena. The Trojans finish the year 11-1 at home, the best mark in Trojan Arena history.
Troy (16-11, 11-5 Sun Belt) won its ninth in its last 10 games behind another team-high scoring performance by Kayla Robinson, who finished with 21 points on 8 of 15 shooting. Robinson has led the Trojans in scoring in nine games this season.
ULM (4-23, 1-15) led after one quarter but could not handle the high-pressure Troy defense. The Trojans did not allow a Warhawk field goal for the first nine minutes of the second period forcing 13 turnovers en route to a 39-25 halftime lead.
Troy led by as many as 35 in the game and forced 36 turnovers. Amber Rivers scored 14 in the third quarter alone and finished with 16 points, the 22nd time in 27 games she's scored in double digits. Jasmine Sanders, Chelsey Gibson and Sky'Lynn Holmes scored 12 points each.
The Trojans shot 50.7 percent from the field, the second-highest of the season, despite hitting just 3 of 12 shot from 3-point range. Senior Dajia Williams tied with Holmes for the team lead with eight rebounds, while Jasmine and Kayla Robinson had five assists each.
QUOTABLE
"We are continuing to set goals and reach to goals," Troy head coach Chanda Rigby said. "Our overall goal is to be the most improved team by the time we get to the Sun Belt Tournament."
UP NEXT
Troy finishes the regular season next week on the road at Georgia State on Thursday and Georgia Southern on Saturday. The Sun Belt Conference Tournament is set to begin on March 6 in New Orleans.

• Kayla Robinson has scored 20-plus points five times this season.
• Troy outrebounded ULM 47-34.
