The Trojans’ women’s basketball team broke its six-game losing streak with two wins at home against Georgia teams, but dropped a close road game against South Alabama.
The Trojans (12-12, 7-8 Sun Belt) started out slow against Georgia Southern, but after a 9-0 run and a buzzer-beater by junior guard ArJae’ Saunders at the end of the first quarter, the Trojans lead the rest of the game. The Eagles (7-15, 4-9 Sun Belt) cut the deficit to just seven points twice, but the Trojans were victorious, 84-68.
Senior guard Ashley Beverly-Kelley scored 14 points in the fourth quarter, including Troy’s final 11 points.
