In the days following Troy University’s first outright women’s regular-season Sun Belt Conference basketball championship, the Lady Trojans experienced another first – a bit of a spring break.
Troy (25-4, 16-2 SBC) and the top seed in this week’s tournament in New Orleans, took a brief trip to Crystal Beach, head coach Chanda Rigby said after the Trojans returned Wednesday. The team departs for New Orleans on Thursday and won’t play until Saturday.
Head coach Chanda Rigby, in her eighth season leading the program, said the retreat to the Gulf Coast wasn’t a celebratory trip.
“Every year since I’ve been here we’ve never been on spring break because the conference tournament usually lasts all week in New Orleans,” Rigby said.
