The Troy soccer team lost to rival South Alabama 2-1 at the Troy Soccer Complex on Sunday.
After losing its first five games, South Alabama is now unbeaten in its last eight. It is a streak Troy couldn’t halt, despite gaining an early advantage at home against the Sun Belt’s top-seeded Jaguars.
The Trojans (4-8-2, 2-3 Sun Belt) scored at the beginning of the game thanks to Maddie Brune’s second goal of the season. In the 24th minute, Kiersten Edlund sent a free kick into the box, where Qarli Stone headed a shot toward the goal.
