Troy Returns to Sun Belt Title Game For First Time Since 2017
PENSACOLA, Fla. – Top-seeded Troy dodged the upset bullet for the second straight day Sunday afternoon at the Pensacola Bay Center, holding off a determined Appalachian State squad, 66-63, in the semifinals of the Sun Belt Conference Women's Basketball Championship.
"When we first meet at the start of the season, we talk about what it's going to take to get to the tournament championship game," said Troy head coach Chanda Rigby. "All of the losses, the ugly games that you have, you learn from them and make yourself a better team. The tournament only lasts about five days and you spend the other 360 days of the year doing the work to get you ready for the tournament.
