MOBILE, Ala.- Thanks to an offensive burst by South, the Jags took down rival Troy at the Cage in a dominating 4-1 victory. 

After a brief back and forth between both sides, Irene Campo would put South on the board with her eighth goal of the season to put the Jags in front 1-0 at the 32nd minute. Bonnie Frost would score her first career goal for the Jags after beautiful ball placement from Monique Gray and April Lantaigne in the 39th minute to give South Alabama the 2-0 lead heading into halftime. 

Both teams emphasized strong defense in the opening minutes of the second half, with neither side making a push. The Trojans would find life as they netted a goal in the 66th minute to cut South's lead to one. The Jags responded well with a more aggressive approach that would earn them a penalty kick goal from Kate Nicholson, marking her first goal of the season as well to give South the 3-1 lead at the 88th minute. Monique Gray would add on another insurance goal in the final seconds to give South a dominating 4-1 win. 

QUOTES

Chris Hennessey on the win, "Good win, some nervy moments for sure. I thought we had good rhythm in the first half, lost a little bit in the second due to fatigue. Troy pushed and they competed hard. They made it a really good game and I was just happy to get out of it alive today and find a way to win the second game of the weekend". 

Monique Gray on how far South can go, "They can go really far, I think we have the talent and the chemistry, we're bonding really well together, one of the best things I have seen in my time here".
