Troy's Offense Explodes in 3-0 Win over Southeastern Louisiana
8/22/2025 9:51:00 PM | Soccer
TROY, Ala. -Â Jiselle Daniels scored a pair of first-half goals while Elsa Stedman headed in her second goal of the season to lead Troy to a 3-0 win over Southeastern Louisiana at the Troy Soccer Complex.
The Trojans (2-1-0) recorded 22 shots on the night, 15 of which were on target to give Troy its most shots on goal in a match since 2017. The Lions (0-2-0) tallied eight shots while Troy goalkeeper Taylor Richards saved all four of their shots on target to pick up her first career shutout.
Daniels' first goal came in the seventh minute, knocking in a deflection by SLU goalie Kendall Curran. The senior from Burlington, N.J., followed it up in the 31st minute on a breakaway, knocking it off her right foot in a 1-on-1 opportunity with Curran.
Stedman, a 5'10" midfielder, put her height to good use in the 65th minute, heading in a Hailey Phillips corner kick. Both of Stedman's goals this season have come via the corner kick, as she knocked in a Megan Hamm corner  against Alcorn State on Sunday.

Quotables - Head Coach Stuart Gore
On the offense…
"The front line is creating opportunities. We probably had more shots on target in this game than we did in probably four games in a row last year, so that's a good improvement."
On Jiselle Daniels…
"Jiselle is everything we thought she was going to be. Obviously, last year, she was coming back from a big injury, and this year she's showing what she's doing when she's fully fit."
Next Up
The Trojans are back at the Troy Soccer Complex on Sunday with a 1 p.m. match against Spring Hill.
