TROY, Ala. (TROJANVISION<\/a>) \u2014 Troy soccer ties against Georgia Southern in a 1-1 draw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was a hard-fought game between the Trojans and Eagles. The first goal was scored off a beautiful freekick by Elsa Stedman<\/a> and headed in by true freshman Isabella Hartofelis<\/a> to give Troy a 1-0 lead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“It was a great freekick by Elsa, me and Elsa worked on it this season,” said Head Coach Stuart Gore<\/a>. “Bella made a great run, timed it perfectly and didn’t really have to do much just let it hit her in the head. Overall a great goal, great set piece goal.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hartofelis, even as true freshman, has been a cornerstone for Gore and the team’s midfield as she has played every minute of the season thus far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“She’s come in, she’s owned it,” Gore told TrojanVision. “I think it’s the fruits of the labor of coming in in January. If you come in early you can make yourself a starting spot which is great to see. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“She’s getting slowly out of club ball and into college soccer.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The score was still 1-0 going well into the second half, but a rough tackle from Troy gave Georgia Southern a chance to equalize with a penalty kick that they promptly converted. Gore attributes the mishap to fatigue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“It’s tight legs. I think we didn’t get back from Norfolk until Friday afternoon, and then, obviously, we have the game against the team that shall not be named. I get it. We want to support Coach [Gerad] Parker and all those guys, and then to come and play against a team, both teams are fighting for their first win and the typical Sun Belt game, it ends up in a tie.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Trojans next face Georgia State on the road at the GSU Soccer Complex where they hope to produce a win.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
