TROY, Alabama- After falling just short of the conference tournament last season, first-year head coach Josh Lauer and the No. 8 Trojans are prepared to take on No. 5 South Alabama on Thursday, Nov. 16 at 7:30 p.m., in Jonesboro, Ark.
Troy (10-21, 4-12 SBC) clinched its spot in the tournament with a huge five-set win over Appalachian State. The Trojans fell to the Mountaineers in five sets earlier in the season, but bounced back to claim the 3-2 victory in Trojan Arena to earn the eight-seed in the Sun Belt Tournament.
Sophomore middle hitters Logan Page and Savannah Moore have been the workhorses for the Trojans this season.
