Trailing by a point going to the fourth quarter, the offense ignited with a fourth-quarter flurry for the Troy women’s basketball team on Saturday.
And with that flurry, the Trojans made history in the process, earning the Sun Belt Conference regular-season title for the first time since the school joined the conference in 2005.
The victory pushed Chanda Rigby’s Trojans to 25-4 overall and 16-2 in Sun Belt play. They won the conference title outright with the win after Appalachian State knocked off Coastal Carolina earlier in the day, 83-80. Troy and Coastal entered the day tied for first.
