The Troy soccer team opened the weekend with a gritty 2-1 against in-state rival Jacksonville State at home. The start of the season has been the best start Troy soccer has seen in over 20 years. Sophomore Nilou Asdigha and Grace Mirly scored on the day while Haleigh Mercer continued her dominance under the goal, posting four saves.
The game began with the Trojans commanding possession of the ball, leading to six early shots, none of which would find the back of the net.
