Contrasting Styles Clash as Troy Hosts ULM

GAME NOTES

TROY, Alabama – Troy's high-powered offense matches up against ULM's stingy defense as the squads clash in Trojan Arena Thursday at 6 p.m.

The Trojans (14-3, 5-1 SBC) enter the game with the Sun Belt's top offense averaging 82.6 points per game, while the Warhawks (7-9, 1-4) have held opponents to a league-best 57.8 points per contest.

Troy's high-flying attack was on display last week despite suffering its first conference loss of the season at Georgia State. The Trojans averaged 88.5 points in the two games and got a superb performance from Harriet Winchester, who collected her first career double-double (15- points, 11 rebounds) against the Panthers.

The last four meetings in the series as well as six of the last seven have gone to the Trojans.
