Trinity Makes Return Trip to Sherman for Regionals

San Antonio - Trinity's volleyball team will travel to Austin College for the NCAA South Region tournament this weekend in Sherman, Texas.

Trinity (34-2) earned the SCAC's automatic bid to the postseason by winning the SCAC Tournament in thrilling fashion last weekend.

After beating Millsaps and DePauw 3-0 to start things off, the Tigers defeated hosting Austin College 3-2 after trailing 0-2 early in the match.  Trinity rallied for three straight wins to take the victory, securing the team's 10th straight conference title.

Now Trinity will be back at Austin College for the playoffs, earning a first round bye.  The Tigers will face either Southwestern or Washington & Lee in the semifinals on Friday afternoon at 4:30 p.m.  The winner advances to the championship on Saturday.

Trinity senior All-American Sara Buros was named the SCAC Tournament MVP last weekend, while Leslie Schornack and Caroline Keener also earned All-Tournament honors. 

Trinity is ranked third nationally by the AVCA, and the team is unbeaten against Division III teams this season.

Head Coach Julie Jenkins, in her 23rd season at the helm of the Tiger volleyball program, has won over 600 matches in her career.  She has led the team to the NCAA Semifinals twice (1999, 2002), and has been in the NCAA Quarterfinals two more times (2001, 2006) in her career.
