Quote from: Ron Boerger on February 28, 2026, 10:51:46 PMTrinity's quest to return to the NCAAs after an 0-5 start was derailed by Millsaps, who forced 22 Tiger turnovers (including 15 steals) and enjoyed a 26-4 advantage from the line in a 72-66 comeback victory.  The Majors got 27 from Garin Freeman and 17 each from Tia Anderson and Elyse Warren, who for good measure added 17 boards.  Trinity got 23 and 10 from Kylie Minter and 10 from Natlie Greenwood, two of the six seniors that will have to be replaced before next season as the team will desperately need to develop shooters and an inside presence.

Shooters and an inside presence are about 95% of a basketball team.  *gulp*

Quote from: 108 Stitches on February 21, 2026, 04:51:38 PMIs Trinity in the West or South team now?

Asking for a friend....

Logically a West team, by conference a South. I'm so confused. 

I have been away from D3 baseball for awhile and just saw that Trinity took 3 of 4 from UWW as I got to my computer today... Emotionally positive, but early season so it may not mean much, however it will help both teams if they don't win their conferences. There is a reason the top teams from the East roll into San Antonio for their first games. Good for visitors and good for TU. I caught a few innings of the webcast from TU. Pretty impressive. Nice job to for the webcast crew and video.

I see that TU updated their field. When are they going to get a proper broadcast booth?

Congrats to both teams on a great series.


Based on the outcome of the weekend, I think it'll mean a lot to Trinity.  Got manhandled in the first game but thumped WW the next and then dug in to win two close ones to take the series 3-1.  Not the same WW team but as good as they're likely to see this season. 

Quote from: Ron Boerger on January 24, 2026, 09:20:04 AMIt was announced on last night's webcast that Braxton Barry, who started the last two and a half seasons for Trinity and played for the school four seasons, unexpectedly passed away earlier this month.  The young man had graduated last spring, was working on his MS in Accounting at Trinity, and had a position lined up at EY in Houston post-graduation.  Rest in peace, young man, and condolences to all he touched.

Oh no!  I'd seen him at Bombay's not long ago and also at one of the earlier BB games this season.  He appeared to be fine and in good spirits.  Really tragic.  Condolences to his family and to the Trinity family.

Anyone paying attention to Trinity football recognized this Tebow-esque QB was part of almost every aspect of the game.  A ubiquitous special teams player, a sideline leader, and still the occasional QB.  He helmed the team for an entire quarter late in the season using his brain and legs.

So glad to hear from this fine man.

They won this by 4 seconds.

Trinity's Adam Knutson selected by the coaches as the DIII Player of the Year.

Saw this coming from his freshman year.  Incredible ball skills, pitch awareness, and selfless play.

None finer and the coaches agree.

Well done, Adam!

Quote from: Kuiper on December 09, 2025, 04:52:50 PMIf you thought the fortunes of the Trinity men's soccer team could not have turned any worse when they conceded a goal with 4 seconds left in regulation in the finals against Tufts . . . 

Franklin County Firefighters Help Trinity U Soccer Team After Bus Slid off Roadway

QuoteMembers of the Snow Creek Volunteer Fire Department assisted soccer players from Trinity University after their team bus slid off the roadway on Monday, December 8.

The men's team had just finished runner-up on Sunday to Tufts University in the NCAA Division III National Championship held at Donald J Kerr Stadium in Salem.

Firefighters transported the team and staff to the station in Pinhook "in order to get the tour bus off the mountain and back down to safety," according to the Facebook post.

Fortunately, the photos in the story suggest no one was hurt.

If the team was low after the loss, I bet this helped keep things in perspective.  They are a fine bunch.

Quote from: Ron Boerger on December 07, 2025, 03:59:41 PMA devastatingly ****ty weekend for Trinity athletics.  As previously noted, the women VBers lost in the Final Four, the football team lost, and today the men's soccer team suffers a tying goal with FOUR SECONDS LEFT and then, understandably crushed, lose the championship to #1 Tufts in OT.

I was sad when I checked in on the men's soccer score and saw it happen in OT. Stinks we lost but still made it to the natty, at least!

Ladies soccer dropped in OT this year in the playoffs too. Throw in the Volleyball losing in the final 4, to the national champs, and with football stubbing their toe, I'm still happy to see so many Tiger sport programs at Trinity be on the national stage and competing deep into their respective brackets.

Men's BBall is ranked and doing well too! So is cross country. Interesting to see how Trinity ranks across the board for fall sports. True "Student" athletes

Wish for football sake, that the committee wouldn't have thrown all of R3 into the same pod, with 4/5 in one sub bracket. Would've been neat to see how the region matched up against other regions.

Hear, hear!  Easy to overlook to incredible success across all athletic programs at Trinity.  The "4 second" loss was a body blow and should serve as serious motivation next year.  Onward!

Quote from: Ron Boerger on December 08, 2025, 08:59:59 AMAs possibly the only Trinity(TX) supporter that ever posts here, I can't imagine how those kids felt when that shot went in.  This was a team virtually nobody gave a chance to even make the final four and for 89:55 a championship was right there.  Kudos to Tufts for pushing to the end and literally pulling it out in the final seconds, but kudos as well to McGinlay and everyone on that team for making it there. 

And yes, my wife did ask me if everything was OK after I screamed in frustration and despair myself.

With you, Ron.

Only two attempts for Huerta is inexplicable.  Only he had the size and strength to challenge a line like Berry's. 

He should have been the go-to back all season. Instead, Trinity rotated backs continuously not allowing any of them to get into the groove. A real head shaker.

10 yards rushing?  I wasn't able to watch the game.  Is that right?

10 yards rushing?!

Thanks, Ron.  Nice article.

Quote from: D3Navy on December 03, 2025, 09:55:12 PMFor those interested, the Trinity and Berry women's volleyball teams are representing the SAA very well.  Both are in the final four of the NCAA championship and could meet in the final.

Well done, ladies!

I felt some judgment during lunch yesterday because I had my phone out watching TU's match...

Alas, the remarkable season is over.  They seemed understandably spent after yesterday's match.

For those interested, the Trinity and Berry women's volleyball teams are representing the SAA very well.  Both are in the final four of the NCAA championship and could meet in the final.

Well done, ladies!

"St. Olaf has been almost Tufts' equal, but their bad 4-1 stumble against Macalester in the MIAC championship game stands out. Perhaps it woke them up,..."

Interesting that Trinity also had a "stumble" in their conference championship game.  It seems clear that it was a motivating factor as they've plowed through to the semis.
