THE SERIES

In two meetings the Trojans have outscored the Dragons 5-1 since Tiffin joined the G-MAC in 2018. The two squads met for the first time ever last season in Ohio, with Trevecca earning a 3-0 road victory.

THE MATCH

The Trojans picked up their first road win in the Great Midwest with a 2-1 victory over Tiffin. The Trojans offense was not shy early, taking 13 shots in the first half. The lone goal of the opening 45 minutes came off the boot of Makena Schlosser (SO/Indianapolis, IN). Schlosser's first goal of the season was unassisted at 34:58 to give Trevecca a 1-0 halftime advantage. In the second half, the Trojans took eight shots, highlighted by Abbigail Legg (FR/Panama City, FL)'s first collegiate goal. Legg received a pass from Annie Warner (FR/Nolensville, TN) at 60:35 to put the Trojans up 2-1. Less than three minutes later, the Dragons would score their lone goal. Julia Effinger took a pass from Kristen Walker at 63:00 to cut the deficit in half. Delayna Holman (SO/Shepherdsville, KY) would be tested by five more shots and a corner in the final 27 minutes but held the Dragons out of the net for a 2-1 win.

WOMAN OF THE MATCH

Abbigail Legg scored in the 61st minute to give the Trojans a 2-0 advantage. The goal is the first of Legg's collegiate career.

WHAT THE RESULT MEANS

Saturday's meeting with Findlay will be a fixture of two of the top three teams in the G-MAC.
