TROY, Ala. – It was a picture-perfect senior day for the eight Troy Trojans soccer seniors, as Troy dropped Georgia Southern University 4-1 Sunday afternoon.
All four Troy (9-2-3, 4-1-1 Sun Belt) goals were scored by seniors, with Maddie Brune adding a pair of goals, and Kiersten Edlund scoring once and picking up two assists. The victory pushes Troy into a tie with South Alabama for first place in the Sun Belt standings.
Troy struck first Sunday, when Edlund connected on a penalty kick in the 15th minute. The PK was awarded to the Trojans, after a Georgia Southern (4-6-1, 1-2-1 Sun Belt) player was whistled for fouling Nathali DaSilva in the 18-yard box.
