TROY, Ala. (Interstat) — A surging Troy team looks to continue its dominant Sun Belt Conference run when it hosts Louisiana-Monroe in a women’s basketball rematch on Saturday, Feb. 14, 2026, at Trojan Arena. The Trojans (20-4 overall) have established themselves as a conference powerhouse, winning nine of their last 10 games. Their lone loss in that stretch was a narrow 87-86 road defeat at Ball State on Feb. 7. Troy, which boasts a potent offense, is led by guard Ashley Baez. She is coming off an 11-point, six-assist performance in a 71-55 win over Louisiana-Lafayette on Thursday and scored 20 points against Coastal Carolina on Jan. 30. They face a Louisiana-Monroe squad that has found momentum, winning four of its last five to even its record at 12-12. The Warhawks are fresh off an impressive 85-62 road victory at Southern Mississippi on Thursday, fueled by 22 points from standout guard Jazmine Jackson. Jackson has been on a scoring tear, averaging 19.3 points over her last three contests. This matchup is a quick turnaround from their Jan. 14 meeting, which Troy won 86-80 in Monroe. In that game, the Trojans overcame a 33-point effort from ULM’s Marcavia Shavers. The Warhawks will need another high-level performance from Jackson and support from Shavers, who had 15 points against Southern Miss, to challenge a deep Troy roster. Beyond Baez, the Trojans feature consistent contributors like Zay Dyer, who scored 18 points in their last outing. A Troy victory would solidify its top position in the Sun Belt, while Louisiana-Monroe aims to prove its recent surge is sustainable and avenge its earlier loss. Tipoff is set for Saturday afternoon in Troy.
