TROY, Ala. – The Jacksonville State soccer team closed out the Trojan Classic with a 1-0 loss to Troy on Sunday afternoon.

The Gamecocks dropped to 1-3 on the season, while the Trojans moved to 3-1 overall.

A Trojan goal in the 71st minute proved to be the difference in the contest.  The two clubs played the first 70 minutes with just five shot on goal chances combined, but the sixth of the contest found the back of the net for Troy.  Troy's Qarli Stone turned in her first goal of the season after a one-touch finish near the penalty spot in the box.  Kate Lorenz was credited with the assist on the goal.

Troy staved off a late flourish by the Gamecocks as freshman Danielle Monroe's shot in the final minute was saved by goalkeeper Mikki Lewis to preserve the win.  Monroe, from Villa Rica, Georgia, led JSU with two shots, including the final shot on goal.  The Gamecocks turned in six on the day, while the Trojans were credited with 12 in the contest.

Sophomore Madison Carruthers and sophomore Claire Petersen had scoring on-goal opportunities, while senior Carsen Taylor and junior Kayla Thompson tallied a shot.  Junior goalkeeper Caroline Robinson finished with three saves.

The Gamecocks will play their third match in five days with a trip to Atlanta, Ga. on Tuesday against the Panthers of Georgia State.  Kick off is set for 6 p.m. CST.
