Game Notes - SCAC West-Central (Sept. 19-20)

Trinity Volleyball @ SCAC West-Central

Sixth-ranked Trinity’s two-day weekend tournament, the Trinity River City Classic, was cancelled due to concerns about Hurricane Ike; but the two nearby Texas teams were still able to get together for a single match on Thursday night.

Trinity defeated Texas Lutheran University 3-1 on Thursday, and the Tigers have now won five of their last six matches. Trinity is also now 4-1 against Division III teams this season, losing only to fourth-ranked La Verne.

Alexis Edwards led the team with 15 kills, six aces, and 24 digs in the match, having only recently worked her way into the starting lineup. Megan Guest also had 23 digs for the Tigers, while Amy Mittelstaedt finished with 10 kills and 12 digs for her second consecutive double-double.

Up next for Trinity will be the SCAC West-Central Tournament at Austin College. The Tigers will face Birmingham-Southern, Hendrix, Rhodes, and Southwestern during the two-day event. Trinity does not return home until October 8 against Concordia (TX) University.

Last season, Trinity was 7-0 against this weekend’s four opponents. The Tigers defeated Southwestern three times during the year, including a 3-2 win in the NCAA Playoffs.

Megan Guest is 62 digs away from reaching 1,000 digs in her career. She would be the 18th player in school history to reach that milestone. With three more service aces, Guest can also move into Trinity’s top 10 for a career.
