HARSTVILLE, S.C.--The No. 2 Trojans (8-1) traveled to Hartsville on Saturday and earned a dominant 28-15 victory over the Cobras (6-4).
"Good to get back in the win column," said Head Coach Albert Mitchell. "We played fast early and got a lot of guys involved."
The Trojans got off to an explosive start, boasting back-to-back nine-goal quarters to open the game. Six-straight goals from the Black and Gold in Q1, followed by two four-goal stints to end the first and start the second quarters, proved to be the offensive force needed to top the Cobras. The contest favored the Trojans 18-6 at halftime.
Following the break, AU eased up slightly, adding just five goals to the Trojans' goal tally in both the third and fourth quarters. Anderson brought home a 28-15 league road victory.
The 28 goals performance marks the best so far this season for Anderson. 16 Trojans scored on the afternoon, with four more players adding assists for a total of 20 goal contributors—the most so far this season.
The Trojans also recorded the season's first 100% clear percentage, going 19 for 19. Going the other way, Anderson held Coker to only 12 for 24 successful clears.
Anderson now enters another two-game week of league play, hosting Tusculum on Tuesday (March 24) and traveling to No. 13 Catawba on Saturday (March 28). The games are scheduled for 7 PM and 3 PM respectively.
