The Troy women’s basketball team lost its first of two meetings with in-state rival South Alabama, coming up short 79-68 on Saturday in Mobile.
The Trojans were led by a career outing from sophomore forward Amber Rivers, whose 25 points were a career and game-high.
Rivers shot 11-20 from the field, followed by sophomore Kayla Robinson, who chipped in 14 points of her own on 6-13 shooting.
However, the scoring duo was not enough for the Trojans to overcome a stingy Jaguar defense, one that forced Troy into committing 21 turnovers.
