TROY, Ala. (10/25/26) – Arkansas State (3-8-4, 1-6-2 SBC) struck first, but a pair of second half goals gave Troy (4-9-4, 3-4-2 SBC) the Sunday afternoon win at the Troy Soccer Complex.
 
The Red Wolves offense was aggressive and set the Trojans on their back heel throughout the front half of the game. A defensive lapse and lazy pass led to a takeaway by freshman Avery Raney in the attacking third, where she skipped the ball into the box and found Kennedy Horn, who lined up a clear shot to take the lead with her sixth goal of the season in the 34^th minute. Raney’s assist is her second on the season after scoring her first point against Central Arkansas (Aug. 23).
 
A scrum in the box early in the second half, Troy found the equalizer and carried that momentum into the next few minutes, where they found their next opportunity with a corner in the 53^rd minute. The set piece goal gave the home side the advantage. A-State fired off six shots in the final 20 minute to pressure the Trojan defense, but were unable to match the opposition.
