TROY, Alabama – Troy's defense stood firm until the 84th minute when Mercer was able to breakthrough and down the Trojans 1-0 in front of 1,114 fans – the second-largest crowd in Troy soccer history – at the Troy Soccer Complex on Friday.

The Bears (1-0) caught Troy in the run of play and a spot-on pass from Jasmine Spence found Caroline Smith, who slammed home the game's lone goal with just over six minutes left on the clock.

The Trojans (0-1) took the lion's share of the shots on the night outpacing Mercer 13-4 in the category.
