TROY, Ala. – Despite a first half defensive battle, Louisiana sparked second-half momentum to down Troy, 2-0, Friday night at the Troy Soccer Complex.
Louisiana sparked second-half momentum to down Troy, 2-0, Friday night at the Troy Soccer Complex.
The match started off in a defensive deadlock as the Trojans (3-5-1, 0-2-0 SBC) and Ragin' Cajuns (4-6-1, 1-1-0 SBC) battled toe-to-toe through the first 40 minutes of action.
The best look of the first half came when Louisiana's offense flooded the box, but a Ruthny Mahurin shot was deflected by Troy defender Kate Eubanks. The failed scoring opportunity kept the game scoreless heading into the halftime break.
Despite a shot attempt by Julianne Hester and a corner kick, it was Louisiana that found the back of the net first off a shot by Hailly Waterhouse in the 66th-minute.
After a stoppage in play due to injury, LA Beck recorded the Ragin' Cajuns' second goal of the night in the 84th-minute.
Troy's offense refused to back down, firing off a pair of shots seconds later, but the Trojans could not find the goals necessary to keep the match alive.

The Trojans look to bounce back on Sunday against Texas State. Kick off from the Troy Soccer Complex is set for 1 p.m.
