TROY, Ala. – A brief break from Sun Belt Conference play on Wednesday sets Troy up for its first conference weekend series on the road at the ULM Softball Complex against ULM - expected weather delays on Friday forced the start time to be bumped to 1 p.m.
Despite falling for the first time since March 4 on Wednesday, the Trojans (21-8-1, 2-0-1 SBC) enter the weekend fourth in the conference after the SBC's opening weekend. The Warhawks (18-12, 2-1 SBC) aren't far behind them in sixth after going 2-1 against Georgia Southern.
Game Information
Location: Monroe, La. – ULM Softball Complex
The Matchup: Troy (21-8-1, 2-0-1 SBC) vs. ULM (18-12, 2-1 SBC)

ACC Power
On Wednesday night, Troy held a nine-game unbeaten streak as it welcomed power-five opponent Georgia Tech. However, after seven innings, the streak was snapped, 6-0, as the Yellow Jackets limited the Trojans to three hits.
A quiet first inning was met with an offensive explosion through the second and third for Tech as they seized a 5-0 lead. A three-run homer in the bottom of the second and a two-run double in the third summarized the scoring output.
Road Warriors
Like Troy, ULM grabbed two wins in its opening SBC series against Georgia Southern on a doubleheader for day one. However, game three saw the Warhawks drop the third game 3-1 and their mid-week game at Southeastern Louisiana 4-2 to enter the weekend on a losing streak.
2022 saw Troy win the series, 2-1, despite a slow start in game one. After shutting the Trojans out in game one, 1-0, ULM gave up 15 runs over the next two games while producing five of their own.
Through 30 games, ULM hasn't seen an efficient time at the plate, averaging a .254 on 744 at-bats to rank ninth in the league. The team excels defensively on the field, with the team having the most efficient fielders in the conference at 98 percent.
Alexis Chavez, Kennedy Johnson and Ashlan Ard stand as the premiere trio for the Warhawks at the plate, ranking in the top 30 of the conference in batting averages at .421, .407 and .400, respectively. In addition, the team's bullpen has elite depth, with all four primary pitchers (Victoria Abrams, Adrianna Chavarria, Gianni Hulett, Kassidy Giddens) in the top 10 for wins and innings pitched for the Sun Belt.
