Women's Basketball Routs Jacksonville State
11/16/2019 6:25:00 PM | Basketball (W)
TROY, Ala. – Troy women's basketball picked up their third victory on the young season with a 94-64 victory over Jacksonville State on Saturday. With their 3-0 start to the season, this Troy squad becomes the first group since 2005-06 to start a season 3-0.
The Trojans got out to a fast start Saturday afternoon, clicking on all cylinders. Troy jumped on the Jacksonville State early, scoring eight of the game's first 10-points. After building an early lead Troy refused to let up, shutting down the Gamecocks for just over four minutes and using a 14-0 run midway through the first to grab a 22-4 lead.
The second-quarter started out just like the first, with Troy scoring the first six points and taking a 30-13 advantage. Jacksonville State began to settle in after falling behind by 17 as the two teams began to trade points, each scoring 12 of the next 24 points. The back-and-forth action would remain for the rest of the half but Troy would go into the locker room with a 42-27 advantage.
Coming out of the break neither Troy or Jacksonville State was able to go on a long run as the two programs saw a repeat of the second frame. After the Gamecocks outscored the Trojans 26-22 in the third, Troy found another gear in the fourth. The Trojans opened the final frame on a 16-4 run lead by Jasmine Robinson who had 12 of the 16 including a pair of and-1 plays. The strong fourth quarter continued for Troy as they outscored JSU 26-11 and walked away with a 94-64 victory.
Records
Troy: 3-0
Jacksonville State: 2-2
Trojan Spotlight
A Pair of Trojans earned double-doubles on Saturday as Alexus Dye and Jasmine LeBlanc each had impressive nights. Dye led the game in scoring (21) and rebounds (15).

Quoting Coach Rigby
On Troy coming out of the gates hot
"It was interesting to see that. I was a little concerned about our team if we did get up on someone early to see if they would sit back and take things for granted. But they didn't. They did a good job holding onto the lead and in fact I thought their energy improved throughout the game so I was proud of them for that.
Trojan Notables
• Dye and LeBlanc posted the first double-doubles for Troy since Japonica James' back on March 14, 2019
• Dye becomes the third Trojan this season to have a 20-point game
• Jasmine Robinson put together an all-around impressive stat line with 17 points, four rebounds, six assists and was a perfect 4-for-4 from the free throw line
• Troy had its best shooting performance of the season at 38.4 percent
• Harriet Winchester just missed a double-digit rebounding night with nine boards. She added six points and an assist to her totals
• Kayla Robinson scored 13 points after scoring 21 against Samford. The senior has now scored 942 points in her career
