Troy women’s basketball performed beyond expectations, bringing home its first Sun Belt Championship in program history.
The Trojans beat the University of Arkansas-Little Rock 61-60 on Saturday, March 12, at Lakefront Arena in New Orleans. They won the title in Troy’s first ever conference championship appearance.
“Our overall goal and theme was faith; faith was our motto,” coach Chanda Rigby said. “I felt more out of sync and more out of the groove in this game than probably any game we’ve played the second half of the year.
“It was a bad feeling, but the faith—we just kept saying to keep it close.”
