Trojan Leaders
Jaclyn Purvine has continued to be the focal point of the Little Rock attack as she has shown incredible form lately. She was honored as Sun Belt Offensive Player of the Week for her impressive performances. The Moore, Okla. native has posted back-to-back seven-point weekends, scoring a goal and dishing out an assist in Friday's game against Austin Peay. This would only be the beginning, however, as she would net two goals in the following match against Mississippi Valley State. The senior forward is dominating the Sun Belt Conference in multiple statistical categories, as she leads the conference in points (14), goals (6), points per game (2.33), goals per game (1.00) and game-winning goals (3).

Last Time Out
In the first match of the weekend, the Trojans handled Austin Peay with ease. The Governors have proven to be a defensive force, but Little Rock was able to break them down quickly for two goals in the first half. A late goal by Astros Luckas sealed the win. Little Rock dominated in every aspect in their match against Mississippi Valley State. The Trojans outshot the Devilettes 23-4 and had no problem finding the back of the net in their 3-0 win. The Trojan defense proved to be well-structured, surrendering only three fouls and zero corner kicks
