The
Troy soccer team picked up its second straight victory to start the
2012 season with a 5-0 win on the road at Alcorn State on Sunday.
Cecilia
Thorngren paced the Trojans with two goals and two assists on the day.
"We
had most of the run of play and created a lot of opportunities today,"
said head coach Chris Bentley. "We have learned a lot from this and our
focus will now
shift to Wednesday."
The
Trojans took a 1-0 lead in the 22nd minute on Thorngren's first goal
off of an assist by Paige McMillan. Thorngren would score again less
than two minutes later,
with freshman Emily Sleeman picking up her first career point on the
assist.

Latif recorded her first
career goal in the 54th minute, with Thorngren adding another assist.
Goaltenders Maddie Winter and Katie Comeno-Lewis combined to make four saves on the day in the shutout effort.
The Trojans are back in action on Wednesday, August 22, when they host Ole Miss at 3 pm at the Troy Soccer complex.
