TROY, Ala. – Troy women's soccer looks to notch its first win of the season when the team faces McNeese State on Thursday on neutral ground at Hancock Whitney Stadium for game one of the South Alabama Tournament.
The Trojans (0-2) plan to avoid just their third 0-3 start in the last 10 seasons, while McNeese (1-1) hopes to avenge its 8-0 loss to Texas A&M on Sunday - kick-off slated for 4 p.m.
Tough Start
Opening weekend for Troy didn't go as planned, with the team suffering losses at the hands of Texas Tech and Alabama A&M by a combined score of 3-0.
Lindsey LaRoche has faced 33 shots in the first two games with 12 saves, and an 80 save percentage despite taking the two losses. Her 12 saves have her tied for second in the Sun Belt.
Opening night had Troy fall to the Red Raiders, 2-0, despite battling tough against its sole power-five opponent. The Trojans were limited to just two shots through 90 minutes by Caylah Williams and Erin Bloomfield.
Monday's match at Alabama A&M saw Troy fall to the Bulldogs for the first time since 2000 with a final score of 1-0. Troy won the statistical battle having 18 shots to their 16, three corner kicks to their one and eight shots on goal to their seven. However, a boot from 28-yards out from the foot of K'la Barnes-Blackwood in the 78th minute secured the victory for the Bulldogs.
