TU Volleyball


Our Trinity women's volleyball team started the season on a tear with a three game winning streak. The ladies luck quickly ran out when they dropped two games to Mass-Boston and Whitworth. In her twenty-sixth year as head coach of the volleyball team, Julie Jenkins is ranked in the top ten in active coaches for most career wins. In her career at Trinity she was one an outstanding fifteen SCAC championships and has made seventeen straight NCAA tournaments. In her tenure at Trinity she has had twenty-seven all americans selected. Although coach has never won a national championship they are training harder then ever to reach the pinnacle of NCAA volleyball, a National Championship. Leading the offensive attack is sophomore outside hitter Madison McMahon, and leading our defensive stand is sophomore libero Meredith Erwin. This coming weekend the Trinity Volleyball will be hosting their third annual Dig Pink event to help raise awareness for Breast Cancer. This event will occur during our Trinity University National Invitational in which we will be hosting Claremont-M-S, NYU, UT-Dallas, & Wisconsin-Eau Claire. Our ladies will be in action this Friday at 3:15 taking on Claremont. Come out and show your support and wear pink to support breast cancer awareness.

TU Mens Soccer


The mens Trinity Tiger soccer team has been on a tear so far this season. In his 20th season at the head coaching position Paul McGinlay ranks number two in victories among active division three coaches and also is Trinity's winningest coach in mens soccer history. Our men were ranked sixth overall in the country before suffering only their second loss of the season to number one ranked Christopher Newport University. The game was a nail biter and was locked at 0-0 until the fifty-eigth minute when Christopher Newport University scored what would eventually be the game winner. So far this season our men have outscored their opponents thirty-three goals to only eleven goals. Our offensive attack is led by Senior Mid Fielder Tommy Barros who is leading the team with eight goals. Also contributing to the offensive attack is Junior Mid Fielder Zachary Garcia with seven goals. Sophomore goalkeeper Tom Nelin has spent the majority of the time in the goal defending for us. Also Senior keeper Joe Benefield and Junior Jacob Truitt have spent significant time in the goal. The Trinity Men's Soccer team will be in action this Friday at home taking on Colorado College at 8:00 p.m.
