South Alabama heads to Troy for two Sun Belt matches after splitting its series with Louisiana. The Jaguars will look to extend a two-match winning streak against Troy, while the Trojans arrive on a six-match run and sit higher in the conference standings.

By the Numbers
  • South Alabama: 8-12 overall, 3-5 in the Sun Belt.
  • Troy: 12-5 overall, 7-1 in the Sun Belt.
  • The Jaguars lead the all-time series, 53-36, but Troy has won five of the last six meetings and the last four at home.
  • Dalayla Blackwell had 29 kills and hit .404 in South Alabama’s series against Louisiana.
Yes, But

South Alabama has the historical edge and swept last year’s meetings, but Troy’s recent results—especially at Trojan Arena—tilt the immediate matchup toward the hosts.

State of Play
  • The teams play Thursday and Friday at 6 p.m. in Troy.
  • South Alabama’s middle hitters, Blackwell and Alivia Freeman, have combined for 133 kills over the last seven matches while hitting .384.
  • Troy swept Louisiana Tech last weekend and recorded 19 aces across the two matches.
What's Next

Two road wins would help South Alabama close the gap in the conference standings and build on its recent series split. Troy will try to protect its home court and keep its winning streak alive.

Bottom Line

South Alabama brings the stronger all-time record, but Troy’s current form and home-court advantage make this a key test for the Jaguars.
