TROY, Ala. -- Facing the program's first home deficit of the season, the Troy Trojans soccer program, behind two second-half strikes defeated Little Rock 2-1 Thursday night in the Troy Soccer Complex season finale.
By virtue of tonight's victory, Troy clinched a spot in the Sun Belt Conference for the 12th consecutive season and completed an unbeaten homestand for the first time since 2014, when the Trojans went a perfect 9-0 at Troy Soccer Complex.
After starting the match strong, the Trojans allowed a 35th minute goal when Little Rock's (5-6-6, 2-2-4 Sun Belt) Julia Edholm took a pass from Morgan Smocovich and lofted a shot that just eluded the reach of Haleigh Mercer.
