The Troy volleyball team traveled to the Carolinas to take on Coastal Carolina and Appalachian State. On Friday night, Troy lost in just three sets to the defending conference champions, the Chanticleers.
In the opening set, Troy opened up with a 7-3 lead, but the Chanticleers were able to tie the game at 7 with a four-point swing. Coastal followed the swing with two more four-point runs to close out the opening set and defeat the Trojans 25-17.
The second set remained competitive until midway through the set.
