Does anyone have a confident idea of the genus of this mother wolf spider? Trochosa?

Yes, it’s a female; the egg sac is kind of a giveaway. For this to be a false wolf spider, it would have somehow had to travel about 3,000 miles east in North America, pregnant. You can tell by the eyes it’s not a fishing spider. So it’s a wolf spider, which we have in abundance here. I think it might be a member of Trochosa genus, but I’m not sure and would like someone with a practiced eye to take a look.
