The Troy Trojans can win in every Sun Belt Conference stadium–well, everywhere but Malone Stadium.

The ULM Warhawks defeated Troy 28-14 on Homecoming weekend to give the Trojans their first conference loss since Nov. 1, 2008.

ULM was their opponent that night and that game was also in Monroe.

“I’m obviously extremely proud of the football team,” ULM football coach Todd Berry said. “We challenged them this last week. We scrimmaged them on Sunday and other kinds of things. This group continues to respond.”

ULM (4-4, 3-2 Sun Belt) did just that after starting slowly and allowing a 28-yard touchdown pass by Corey Robinson. On the following drive, Kolton Browning found Tavarese Maye for a 48-yard touchdown pass to tie the game at 7-7.

Browning and Maye each scored twice as the Warhawks had arguably their most complete game this season.

“I feel like we are getting better as a whole,” senior running back Frank Goodin said. “Defense is showing out and doing their thing every week and the offense is stepping up and trying to get better.”

Troy (4-3, 3-1) could not find an answer for the Warhawk defense, only scoring 14 points for its lowest total in a Sun Belt game since Oct. 28, 2006.

Robinson threw two interceptions, one to Darius Prelow in the second quarter and one to Robert Nelson in the fourth.

“ULM came to play today and they played a very good game,” Robinson said. “Their defense and offense played a very sound football game today. We need to get back together as a team and get back to the basics.“

ULM travels to Miami to take on the FIU Golden Panthers on Saturday at 6:30 pm. The game will be broadcast online on ESPN3 and on television on the Sun Belt Network (Channel 28 in Monroe).
