scac information

about the cover Throughout the 2015-16 academic year, the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference (SCAC) will celebrate its 25th anniversary as a co-educational NCAA Division III athletics conference. The conference’s origins date to 1962 when the College Athletic Conference (CAC) was formed to provide an association through which member institutions could compete in intercollegiate sports activities among teams representative of their respective student bodies. A primary tenet of this conference was a shared commitment to the priority of the overall quality of academic standards and quality educational experiences. The next evolution of the conference took place prior to the 1991-92 academic year when the league moved to add women’s athletics as part of its sports sponsorship lineup and, as part of this rebirth, changed its name to the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference. The idea behind the SCAC and the commitments made by those charter members in 1991 remain in place today. SCAC member institutions are committed to sponsoring a variety of varsity sports to maximize opportunities for student participation. SCAC schools also operate under the principle that participation in sports should be solely from student interest and enjoyment of athletic competition, and that no financial aid shall be given to any student which is conditional upon athletic ability or participation in intercollegiate sports. SCAC member institutions support students in their efforts to reach high levels of performance by providing them with adequate facilities, competent coaching and appropriate competitive opportunities with students from similar institutions. The SCAC is currently comprised of Austin College of Sherman, Texas; Centenary College of Shreveport, Louisiana; Colorado College of Colorado Springs, Colorado; University of Dallas of Irving, Texas; Schreiner University of Kerrville, Texas; Southwestern University of Georgetown, Texas; Texas Lutheran University of Seguin, Texas; and Trinity University of San Antonio, Texas. The SCAC office is located in Lawrenceville, Georgia, a suburb of Atlanta, Georgia.

scac information

history of the scac The Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference (SCAC) was founded and began operation on September 1, 1962, as the College Athletic Conference (CAC). Centre College of Danville, Kentucky; Southwestern at Memphis (Tennessee) (now known as Rhodes College); The University of the South of Sewanee, Tennessee; and Washington and Lee University of Lexington, Virginia, were the four charter members of the conference. Later in 1962, Washington University of St. Louis, Missouri, became the fifth member and the CAC remained unchanged until 1972. Following membership changes throughout the 1970s and 1980s, the conference went through restructuring and renaming. With the addition of Millsaps College of Jackson, Mississippi, and Trinity University of San Antonio, Texas, in 1988 and Hendrix College of Conway, Arkanasas, and Oglethorpe University of Atlanta, Georgia, in 1991, membership reached a then all-time high of eight. That same year (1991), the conference renamed itself the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference, hired its first full-time commissioner Stephen P. Argo - and a permanent conference office was established in Atlanta, Georgia. As part of restructuring, the league also adopted its current primary mark and adopted blue (pms 287) and gold (pms 131) as the official colors of the conference. Membership changes continued throughout the '90s. The SCAC added Southwestern University of Georgetown, Texas, in 1993 with participation beginning in the 1994-95 academic year. In 1997-98, the SCAC added both DePauw University of Greencastle, Indiana, and Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology of Terre Haute, Ind., with participation beginning in 1998-99. As part of a year-long celebration in 2005-06, the league celebrated its 15th anniversary as the restructured SCAC. The league adopted a special anniversary logo (pictured left) and as part of the celebration, 15th anniversary teams were selected for all conference sponsored sports. After Rose-Hulman announced its intentions to leave the conference, Austin College of Sherman, Texas and Colorado College of Colorado Springs, Colorado, were confirmed as the 10th and 11th members of the league in 2006 with participation beginning in the 2006-07 academic year. Birmingham-Southern College of Birmingham, Alabama, a former member of the Division I Big South Conference, was approved as the 12th member of the SCAC and began play in 2007-08. Prior to the 2010-11 academic year, DePauw University announced that it would leave the conference. The University of Dallas was quickly tabbed to replace DePauw effective July 1, 2011 - maintaining the league's membership total at 12 institutions. In 2010-11, the league celebrated its 20th anniversary as the restructured SCAC. As part of the celebration, in addition to the use

of a special mark, the league office selected the Top 20 moments for each conference-sponsored sport. Those moments were announced throughout the 2010-11 academic year. After the conclusion of the June 7, 2011 SCAC Presidents’ meeting, the conference announced that seven of its twelve member institutions would be leaving to form a new conference effective at the conclusion of the 2011-12 academic year. The schools departing include founding CAC/SCAC members Centre College, Sewanee-The University of the South, and Rhodes College, in addition to Birmingham-Southern College, Hendrix College, Millsaps College, and Oglethorpe University. With membership down to five institutions – the conference’s lowest number since the 1979-80 academic year – the “new” SCAC wasted little time in adding to its membership rolls.

On September 28, 2011, Centenary College of Louisiana, a former American Southwest Conference institution, announced it would be joining the SCAC beginning in the 2012-2013 season. Two more ASC schools will join the SCAC for the 2013-14 season: Schreiner University announced their decision on January 23, 2012, and on February 16, 2012, Texas Lutheran University announced it too would join the SCAC. The addition of Texas Lutheran insured that the conference would retain its status as an active NCAA Division III conference as well as automatic bids in nine of its 14 AQ sports, including baseball, men’s basketball, women’s basketball, softball, men’s soccer, women’s soccer, men’s tennis, women’s tennis and volleyball. On the national athletics stage, the SCAC has had its fair share of success - both in terms of team championships (eight) and individual championships (33).

2005-2006

2010-2011


7 In the days when the league was known at the College Athletic Conference, Chris Fugman of Centre College gave the conference its first individual title with a victory in the 400 IM at the 1980 NCAA Division III Men’s Swimming & Diving Championships, and Chris Trapp of Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology won the men’s javelin at the NCAA Outdoor Track Field national championships three straight years (1984-1986). Nao Kinoshita of Rhodes College won the 1996 Division III women’s tennis singles title, capturing the first individual national title in the SCAC era. Kinoshita also won the 1997 singles title and combined with Taylor Tarver to capture the ‘97 doubles title. Ryan Loftus of Rose-Hulman captured the men’s pole vault title at the 1998 Indoor Track & Field championships. Heather Stone of University of the South-Sewanee claimed both the women’s indoor and outdoor 1,500 meter titles in 2000. And later that same season, the league claimed its first team national championships as Trinity University won both the men’s and women’s tennis titles. In the winter of 2003, Matt Smith of Rose-Hulman won the 100 yard breaststroke at the Division III men’s national swimming championships, and Trinity captured the women’s basketball championship - all in the same weekend. The following fall (in 2003), the Trinity men’s soccer team gave the league title #4, and the DePauw women’s basketball team became the fifth team from the conference to win a national championship when it captured the 2006-07 Division III title. Trinity’s Christyn Schumann won the women’s high jump at three consecutive NCAA Outdoor Track & Field national championships (2004-06), and Liz Bondi of DePauw captured the 16th individual national championship won by a CAC/SCAC student-athlete when she won the 2007 women’s tennis singles title. The 2008-09 season was a banner year as one team and three individual student-athletes won national titles for the SCAC. Todd Wildman of Trinity won the pentathlon at the NCAA Indoor Track & Field national championships and Chrys Jones of Centre College won the triple jump at the Outdoor Track & Field national championships. On the links, the Oglethorpe University men earned the league’s sixth team title with a first-place finish at the NCAA Golf Championships. The Petrels were led by Olafur Loftsson, who earned medalist honors and the league’s 19th individual title. In 2009-10, the SCAC had four different individuals win a total of five national titles. Todd Wildman of Trinity won his second-consecutive

indoor national title in the pentathlon. Centre’s Chrys Jones double-dipped and claimed national titles in the triple jump at the both the NCAA Indoor and Outdoor national championships. At the 2010 NCAA Swimming & Diving championships, Trinity teammates Lindsay Martin and Hayley Emerick claimed individual titles in the 1-meter and 3-meter boards, respectively. In 2010-11, Chrys Jones became just the second SCAC student-athlete to win four career individual national titles as he repeated at the NCAA Indoor national championships in the triple jump. Centre’s Chris Morris earned the league its 26th individual national title when he claimed medalist honors at the 2011 NCAA Golf Championships. The 2011-12 academic year was one of the most successful in the league’s 50-year history. Tiarra Goode of Birmingham-Southern College won the 60-meter hurdles at the NCAA Indoor Track & Field national championships, Jordan DeGayner of Colorado College won the 200 free at the NCAA Swimming & Diving national championships and Ruth Hahn of Trinity University continued the Tigers’ diving dominanace with an individual title on the 3-meter board. Later in the spring, SCAC student-athletes earned two more individual national titles with Anthony Maccaglia of Oglethorpe University earning the league its third medalist in four years at the NCAA Men’s Golf championship and Birmingham’s Goode picked up her second individual national title with a win in the 100-meter hurdels at the NCAA Outdoor Track & Field championships. In addition, Oglethorpe University earned the conference its seventh team national title with a victory at the 2012 NCAA Division III Men’s Golf Championships. The “new” SCAC returned to national prominence in 2013-14 as Stephen Culberson of Trinity University won the 100 free at the 2014 NCAA Swimming & Diving Championships and, in its first year in the conference, Schreiner University gave the conference its eighth team national championship with a victory at the 2014 NCAA Division III Men’s Golf Championships - the league’s third national title in the sport in six years. A bell, donated by the Norfolk and Western Railway, was adopted as the SCAC’s “President’s Trophy” and serves as the symbol for the conference. The President’s Trophy is displayed for one year on the campus of the school with the combined men’s and women’s athletics program that accumulates the highest points total in the all-sports race established by the conference. The bell is awarded at the conclusion of the spring season.

2015 season preview

With six starters returning, along with several other players with starting experience, the Austin College volleyball team heads into the 2015 campaign with a renewed sense of optimism after finishing last season with a record of 21-19. Head coach Ed Garza is on the verge of two big milestones this season, and the ‘Roos will be looking to earn a berth into the conference postseason for the 19th straight year. Garza welcomes nine newcomers this year in addition to his returning players, and expectations are high as the season opener gets closer. The ‘Roos will be led by seniors Reygan Holloman and Rachel Fusselman, in addition to juniors Madison Lee and Presleigh Watson. All four have been starting since their first years in the program, and offer Garza a strong combination of talent and experience in guiding the otherwise young roster. He’s also particularly excited about his strong freshman class. “This group of freshmen will bring a phenomenal energy to the team,” said Garza. “They’ve got the ability to challenge for several starting spots.” As the season opens, Garza currently sits on 498 career wins at Austin College, and 548 victories overall in his coaching career. Among his wins with the ‘Roos, he’s also closing in on 200 home victories at Austin College, with 198 heading into the year. Both of those milestones should be toppled early in the year, as the ‘Roos host home tournaments each of the first two weekends of the season. One of the strengths that will help get Garza to his 500th career win on the AC sideline is the team defense, which will be keyed by Fusselman, who finished among the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference leaders in digs last season from her libero position, as well as middle blockers Watson and Rebekah Bowden. Watson ranked first in the nation in blocks midway through the season last year, before nagging injuries caused her numbers to come down as the year wore on. Watson finished the year averaging 1.17 blocks per set, while Bowden led the team with 1.19 blocks per set in her first collegiate season. “The defense has really stepped up,” said Garza. “If we work on it, I think we could have the best defensive team since I’ve been here. This team is on a mission and has a really strong nucleus and good experience to compete for the SCAC championship.” Of course, the ‘Roos will face a gruelling schedule that pits them against several nationally ranked teams, including some within the SCAC. That strong competition will only help the ‘Roos in the long run,

however. “We play a lot of stiff competition early in the season,” said Garza. “It’s really going to be a big barometer for the upperclassmen and will provide a test for our freshmen, to see where they are. If the young players adjust to the game and play well, we could be right there in the thick of the conference.” So far, fall camp has shown strong early returns for Garza’s squad, which he also credits to the addition of Peder Lindkvist as an assistant coach this season. The two are pleased with what the young team has shown since arriving on August 18. “We’ve had a really good camp so far,” said Garza. “There’s been good chemistry, and lots of good things happening. The kids are really responding well in camp.” Along with returning, proven upperclassmen like Lee, Fusselman, Watson, and Holloman, Garza expects many of his younger players to become big factors this season. Second year players Dani DeWitt and Madi McVay got valuable experience last season and will see increased roles this year, and defensive specialist Tatiana Ferrari is also expected to take on a larger role. There’s also been a healthy competition for the starting setter position between returning players Lauren Wulz and Chandler Sherman, as well as newcomer Katie Ingle. Ingle transferred in from Texas A&M Commerce, where she redshirted last season. In addition to closing in on 500 wins at Austin College, another testament to Garza’s longevity and consistency is the addition of newcomer Aelyn Rodriguez, an athletic player who could find playing time at multiple positions. Rodriguez was coached in high school by former Austin College player Alicia Gomez, a 1997 graduate who was a member of Garza’s first team. The ‘Roos open up the season on the road at LeTourneau on September 1, before returning home to host the Austin College Classic on September 4-5. Courtesy of Austin College Sports Information

carter-knudsen

Caley Carter-Knudsen begins her third season at the helm of the volleyball program in 2015. In her first season in 2013, Carter-Knudsen took a team with no freshman and guided the Ladies to more than double the wins from the prior season. She also saw Centenary record its first conference win since 2007, a five-set victory over Austin. Centenary went 4-1 in matches that went the distance in 2013. In 2014, the Ladies improved further their win total from the previous season. Individually, Allison Lazewski finished seventh overall and tops among freshman in the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference with 0.39 aces per set. Her 42 total aces also ranks 10th in Centenary College’s single-season annals. In two seasons under Carter-Knudsen, the Ladies have raised their hitting percentage by nearly 30 points while tallying nearly a kill per set better than prior to her arrival. Prior to taking over the Maroon and White program, Carter-Knudsen served as the assistant coach at Manchester in Indiana in 2011 and 2012. While at MU, she tutored all-conference first team and Manchester’s Female Athlete of the Year Amanda Dickman, who led the conference in blocks and ranked nationally in Division III throughout the 2011 campaign. The Great Bend, Kansas, native also recruited and coached 2012 all-conference first team and Freshman of the Year Sarah Pruden, who led the conference in

kills and points per set. Prior to her time at MU, Carter-Knudsen served as an assistant at the University of Albany from 2010-11, where she coached Player of the Year Teresa Coppielle and Defensive Player of the Year Laurie Gonzalez. No stranger to the Pelican State, Carter-Knudsen played collegiately at Nicholls State University. She earned numerous accolades, including Louisiana and Southland Conference Player of the Year laurels as well as being named to the Southland All-Conference First Team and Newcomer of the Year in 2003. She began her collegiate career as an all-region selection and All-American at Barton County Community College before transferring to the University of Tennessee. After earning her Bachelor of Arts in General Studies at NSU in 2004, she played overseas in Denmark for five years (2004-2009) and in Finland for one season in 2010. During her stop in Denmark, she played for Fortuna Odense Volley and was part of four Danish National Championship and Danish Cup Champions. She was also a professional shot putter and discus thrower for the track club Odense Atletik and claimed the Danish National Championship in 2009. Carter-Knudsen obtained her master’s degree in parks and recreation management from Frostburg State University in 2015. She is married to BT Knudsen and resides in Shreveport.

Nesmith, a senior middle blocker, played in 20 matches last year with 26 starts and will play a major role as a middle. In 2014, she led the team with 0.36 blocks per set (35 total blocks), while adding 61 kills, 13 service aces and 32 digs.

HAILEY LAWSON

MICHAELA BRANTLEY

2015 season preview

There will be plenty of upperclassmen guidance as the 2015 Centenary College volleyball team will feature five seniors, but with no junior class, a group of three sophomores and seven freshmen look to figure prominently for third-year head coach Caley Carter. The Ladies are coming off back-to-back five win seasons after the Ladies only managed five wins before coach Carter’s arrival. “This season, our team goal is to continue to get more wins as we rebuild the program. Ultimately, we would love to make it to our conference tournament,” said Carter. “As long as we continue to work hard and stay disciplined, those are very attainable goals for this team.” Senior leadership will be key with two-thirds of the team being underclassman. Returning for the Ladies for their final season include 2014 leading hitter Rachel Perkins (250 kills, 2.40 per set), who also finished third on the team with 215 digs (2.17 per set). Lindsey Long ended the season third on the team with 141 kills (1.37 per set) and fourth with 196 digs (1.90 per set). Long and classmate Christina NeSmith both led the team with 35 blocks for 2015. “We are taking advantage of the fact that we have five seniors this year and using their leadership skills in all aspects of our program,” explained Carter. Individually, they take charge of the team academics, communication, punctuality, attire, and even dietary needs. They are a responsible and mature group, and I am proud of the progress they have made since I have taken over the program just two years ago. “They give our very large group of freshmen a great example to follow which puts them on the right path as we look to the success of the future of the program,” added Carter. In the sophomore class, Haley Cubberly is the team’s 2014 leading back row player (294 digs, 3.13 per set) while classmate Allison Lazewski paced the Ladies with 589 assists (5.40 per set). Desiree Frey added 221 kills (2.12 per set) to rank second in that category in 2014. However, the freshmen will play a vital role for the Ladies in 2015 as they make up nearly half the team.

“The freshmen this year are a very competitive group. They have had a challenging pre-season because of their participation in our very demanding Centenary in Paris class while also participating in our demanding team practices before and after their class,” said Carter. Their dedication to both volleyball and academics has led to 14-hour days for them. They have worked so hard this summer, which has helped them tremendously as they are in great physical shape and can handle the demands of their tough schedule. They have had an immediate impact on the program because of the work they have done in the off-season and their desire to be here at Centenary. “Because of them, there is competition at every position, which makes the entire team step up their game every day at practice,” added Carter. After two non-conference tournaments to begin the season, the Ladies will be tested against one of the best NCAA Division III volleyball conferences in the country in the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference. Centenary begins the conference slate September 19-20 with a cross-divisional right in the Gold Dome against Austin, Dallas and Colorado College. “As always, our toughest competition is our conference opponents. We are so grateful to be in such a competitive conference with 2-3 teams ranked nationally every season,” Carter said. “I think that this year we will be able to compete with any team we face. Regardless of the opponent or outcome of the match, I expect this group to always compete.” The volleyball team begins the 2015 season September 1 when they host Jarvis Christian at the Gold Dome at 7 p.m. Courtesy of Centenary Sports Information

coaching staff

RICK swan The 2015 season marks Rick Swan’s 18th as head volleyball coach at Colorado College. Owner of a 420-155 record (.730) since taking the reins in 1998, Swan has guided the Tigers to a school-record 17 consecutive appearances in the NCAA Division III playoffs. Swan was named Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference co-Coach of the Year in 2012 when he guided CC to a third consecutive playoff championship as well as a share of the league’s regular-season title. In 2011, Swan earned his first ever West Region Coach of the Year award from the American Volleyball Coaches Association. The Tigers were the top seed of their region for the third straight year after earning their second of three consecutive automatic bids the NCAA Tournament. CC advanced to the regional final of the national playoffs and finished the year ranked No. 12 in the AVCA’s Top 25 with a 33-7 record for the second-best mark in program history. In 2010, Swan was named the SCAC Coach of the Year for the first time in his career after Colorado College claimed its first-ever conference title. The Tigers finished the season with a 30-7 record and ranked No. 16 in the final Division III rankings. In 2009, Colorado College posted a 35-5 record, earned its first-ever appearance in the Elite 8 of the NCAA Tournament and finished the year No. 7 in the AVCA’s Top 25 Poll, the highest ranking in the program’s history.

Swan wasted no time molding CC into a winner, inheriting a team that went 8-17 in 1997 and leading it to the program’s first post-season appearance in six years. Before finishing with an overall record of 15-11 in ‘98, Colorado College climbed as high as No. 2 in the West Region rankings and No. 12 nationally. In 1999, while going 23-6, the Tigers claimed their first NCAA tournament victory since 1990 and finished No. 14 in the final Division III rankings. They were 27-12 in 2008. A Colorado Springs native and 1986 graduate of James Madison University in Harrisonburg, Va., Swan previously served two years (1990-92) as head volleyball coach at Webster University in St. Louis, Mo., also an NCAA Division III program. Before coming to CC, he spent five years as head girl’s volleyball coach at St. Mary’s High School in Colorado Springs. Swan’s overall record of 131-17 (.885) with the Pirates included a state 3A championship in 1996, when he earned Coach of the Year honors from The Colorado Springs Gazette, Denver Post and Rocky Mountain News. St. Mary’s also finished second (1994), third (1997) and fourth (1995) at the state tournament during his tenure as coach. Swan and his wife, Beth, have three daughters – MacKenzie, Jocelyn and Laney.

players to watch

COURTNEY BIRKETT

SR., OH/RS, NEWBURY PARK, CALIF. Courtney Birkett, a senior opposite hitter, ranked third on the team with 215 kills and fourth with 215 digs last season despite missing more than a month due to an injury. During the first two weeks, Birkett was voted tournament MVP by the opposing coaches at the Colorado College Classic and CC Invitational. As a sophomore in 2013, Birkett was named an honorable mention All-American by the American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA), as well as a second-team all-SCAC selection. She currently ranks 18th in CC program history with 798 kills and 24th with 720 digs.

ABBE HOLTZE

JR., OH, MANHATTAN BEACH, CALIF. Abbe Holtze, a junior outside hitter, is the reigning SCAC Player of the Year as well as a two-time first-team all-conference selection. With 522 kills last year, Holtze became just the second player in program history to reach the 500 kill mark in a single season. That performance helped her earn honorable mention All-America accolades from the American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA). In just two seasons, Holtze already ranks 15th in CC program history with 867 career kills and 23rd with 787 digs.

SOPHIE MERRIFIELD SR., DS, FAIRFAX, CALIF.

Sophie Merrifield, a senior libero, is a two-time all-SCAC selection, earning first-team honors in 2013 and second-team accolades last year. Merrifield, who played every set each of the last two seasons, owns the program’s top two single-season dig totals with 726 in 2013 and 739 last year. She already ranks second in school history with 1,827 career digs and needs only 369 to surpass Laura Goldsmith (2009-12) for first place. Merrifield is a four-time SCAC Defensive Player of the Week.

2015 season preview

It’s been said that variety is the spice of life. The Colorado College volleyball team is hoping to prove that axiom true by turning its depth and experience into some serious spice during the 2015 season. Officially, the Tigers return five starters and their libero from last year’s squad that posted a 30-9 overall record, finished third at the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference championship and dropped a heart-breaking five-set thriller in the second round of the NCAA Tournament. In reality, CC welcomes back nine players who started 10 or more matches due to a rash of injuries that decimated the roster a year ago. Junior outside hitter Abbe Holtze, the reigning SCAC Player of the Year, along with senior libero Sophie Merrifield and junior middle hitter Keli Sherwood, both of whom were second-team selections last year, need no introduction. There is, however, a long list of potential all-conference performers who are anxious to make a name for themselves. Bolstered by an infusion of nine new players, the Tigers have a roster that has an abundance of talent and skill at every position. “This team has more depth than we have ever had in the past, especially in the middle and on the right side,” head coach Rick Swan said. “The depth and experience of our players will pay dividends over the course of the season and help keep us fresh as we approach the conference championship and NCAA tournament.” Unlike last year when it seemed like the coaching staff deferred to athletics trainer Holly Fry to identify which players could compete on a particular day, the coaches will have the flexibility to create a lineup based upon the challenges presented by its opponents. “We can present a different look every time we step on the court and that will make it difficult for opposing teams to prepare a game plan and find ways to stop us,” Swan said. “If we need a bigger block or a faster pace, we can adjust our lineup.” Two other advantages to having 19 players who can contribute are having competitive practices during which they earn playing time and having the ability to limit the wear and tear the players experience during the compact season that features three or four matches nearly every weekend. “Some of our practices are so intense because everyone is battling for playing time,” Swan said. “It’s fun to watch our players go head-to-head with a teammate who is just as talented. It makes for very exciting practices. “Playing four matches over a two-day period can be draining when a player has to play every set. When you have depth and spread things out, you won’t have a player who is taking 65-70 swings and then has to turn around and do it again. We have the luxury to spread the offense out.” Now in his 19th season at Colorado College, Swan has developed a reputation

for putting together demanding pre-conference schedules and this year is no exception. In fact, this year’s slate may be the toughest ever. The Tigers play seven matches against opponents ranked among the American Volleyball Coaches Association’s preseason top 25, including three in a row at the University of Wisconsin at Oshkosh Invitational in October. “I’m really excited about our non-conference schedule, Swan said. “We have good teams coming here every weekend, including a number of teams who are ranked in the top 20. “When we go on the road to Wisconsin, we have three matches against nationally-ranked teams. It’s a great opportunity for us to play some of the best teams in the country.” CC hopes its rigorous non-conference schedule has the Tigers prepared for SCAC play, which begins Sept. 19 with divisional matches at Centenary College. The highlight of the conference ledger will be Oct. 23-24 when Colorado College plays host to the SCAC Cross-Divisional weekend. “We did not have the opportunity to host conference play last year, so we’re excited to have the cross-over matches on our home court,” Swan said. “Playing back-to-back games on the road can be tough with our travel schedule, so we’re excited about the opportunity to compete in front of our home crowd.” With matches against defending champion Trinity University and Southwestern University, the two teams that finished ahead of the Tigers in last year’s SCAC standings, that weekend could have a significant impact on which team claims the regular-season title and top seed for the conference tournament. “Our goal is to win the conference championship,” Swan said. “It’s been a few years since that happened and our seniors want to have that experience and earn the automatic qualifier for the NCAA Tournament. “We have great leadership in our captains - Sophie Merrifield, Courtney Birkett and McQuella Adams. Our fourth senior, Kaimara Herron, has developed into a force in the middle. Those four have done a great job of working with our younger players and the nine newcomers, and their leadership will carry this team a long way.” If all goes according to plan, the spicy Tigers could prove to be too hot to handle.

EMILY holombek

Entering her second year as the head coach for the University of Dallas volleyball program, Emily Holombek completed her season-debut with a 23-13 (8-6 SCAC) mark. It was the highest total of victories overall since UD notched 26 in 2010. The league record also shattered a historic high since Dallas joined four years ago. Holombek’s Lady Crusaders earned the Fourth-Seed in the SCAC Tournament and were defeated in the 3rd/4th Place match after edging Texas Lutheran in the SCAC Quarterfinals. Under her guidance at the helm, a trio of players notched AllSCAC Volleyball Second Team. Forming the unit were sophomore Jaime Birzer and seniors Emily Caples and C.J. Broadbent. Holombek spent the previous eight years in a volleyball and/ or women’s basketball coaching capacity at East Central University (ECU) in Ada, Okla. The Lady Tigers compete at the NCAA Division II level. Most recently, she served as interim women’s basketball head coach for the 2013-14 season. In this capacity, Holombek supervised all aspects of the program, such as scheduling, budgeting, recruiting, transportation, media relations, community relations, and player development, as well as assistant women’s basketball responsibilities. She also taught a combined 10 hours of First Aid as well as Freshman Health in the classroom. Competing in the Great American Conference (GAC), the Lady Tigers navigated to a 19-9 (13-7 GAC) record under the first year head coach. ECU fell 87-83 in the GAC Semifinals to Southwest-

ern Oklahoma State University. Holombek’s other coaching roles at ECU included her working as assistant women’s basketball coach (2012-13), volleyball and women’s basketball graduate assistant (2010-12) and volleyball camp coach (2006-12). The Red Oak, Texas, native (Red Oak High School) transferred into ECU as a student-athlete by way of Navarro Junior College (NJC) in Corsicana, Texas. She earned an Associate in Applied Science from NJC in May 2008. After playing for NJC in the 2006-07 academic-year, Holombek went on to become an integral member of the ECU volleyball team in the span of three seasons (2008-10). In her senior campaign, she was named All-Lone Star Conference Honorable Mention. Holombek, a two-year letterwinner with the Lady Tigers, is the school’s career leader in attack percentage (.267). The holder of eight top-10 rankings, she tallied 33 block solos (second), 132 total blocks (third), 588 kills (fouth), 1,478 total attempts (seventh), 68 service aces (fifth), 99 block assists (fifth) and 305 digs (10th). She played for the women’s basketball team in the last 11 games of the 2009-10 season and all of their 2010-11 slate. Holombek graduated from ECU in December 2010, with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration (Finance concentration). She then completed a Master of Education -- Secondary Education option, Sports Administration specialization – from her alma mater in May 2012.

JAIME BIRZER

SR., MB, OTTAWA, KAN. Birzer returns after totaling 386 games over the previous three seasons with Dallas. The native of Ottawa, Kansas, pounded a team-high 335 kills and averaged 2.62 a match in 2014. Her .259 hiting percentage ranked sixth among the conference, while it was the top mark among the Crusader squad. Birzer also notched a team-most 68 block assists and was second on UD with 16 block solos. A season high 16 kills came against Wiley College in a 3-1 UD win on September 30. Her efforts earned her All-SCAC Second Team.

CAT DOWGWILLO

SR., RS/MB, ST. LOUIS, MO. Dowgwillo enters her final campaign with the Lady Crusaders totaling 380 matches. The rightside hitter from St. Louis, Missouri, claimed 244 kills on the year and averaged 2.00 per set. She ranked third on the squad last season with 36 service aces and 46 block assists. Dowgwillo posted a season-high 17 kills against Austin College in a 3-2 Crusader victory on October 11. She also had six matches throughout the season with double-digit kills.

2015 season preview

The University of Dallas volleyball team is coming off a 23-13 record overall and 8-6 Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference (SCAC) mark from the previous campaign. The team finished fourth place in the standings and took the same ranking going 1-2 in the conference tournament. After completing her first season as the head coach for the Lady Crusaders, Emily Holombek, returns a younger squad with some key veterans that helped produce consecutive winning records and the team’s highest win total since 2010 (26). Nine players that were on the roster last year are expected to suit up again for UD, with seven newcomers likely to be getting some impactful reps on the hardwood. Highlighting the returners are the pair of seniors this season for the Lady Crusaders, Jaime Birzer and Cat Dowgwillo. Birzer was the team leader with 335 kills and averaged 2.62 per game. The Ottawa, Kansas, native, slammed 68 block assists to also lead the group, and posted double figure kill results on attacks through 15 contests that season. She was tabbed on the AllSCAC Second Team. Dowgwillo chipped in 244 kills overall and averaged 2.00 a game. The right-side hitter and middle blocker landed a teambest 36 service aces, and amassed 201 digs and 46 block assists. A trio of juniors: Jessie Koster, Mairin Guilfoyle, and Allison Seager all bring a wealth of experience to this year’s team. Koster paced the Navy and White 648 digs and ranked second in the conference with 5.73 digs a game. That average total broke the school record for volleyball at Dallas. Guilfoyle finished in the top three in kills with 285 and right behind departed senior Emily Caples (2.40), with 2.39 per game. Seagar is one of three players back that played between the lines all 36 matches, and added 268 digs on the defensive end. Graduating along with Caples were C.J. Broadbent and

Christine Jablonski. Both Caples and Broadbent were named All-SCAC Second Team. Broadbent was a staple setter for the squad, shattering a career high 1,206 assists. She also ranked second on the team with 332 digs. Rose Schaner and Elizabeth Smith are both listed as setters, and are among the seven new faces on the team. Schaner is a transfer entering her junior year, while Smith is one of five true freshmen on the squad. Lexi Noriega is the other transfer junior, while Claire Gagliano, Sarah Hughes, Anna McCall, and Kaley Turner fill out the rest of the newcomers. Other returners that were on the team and will be on the court are juniors Julia Spence and Anna Fazio, and sophomores Mary Scholz and Diana Hassink. Dallas is slated to play 32 matches total this 2015 season, with nine at home in the Maher Center. Last year, the Lady Crusaders went 7-1 at the friendly confines. Coach Holombek described her squad with one word being “team.” She elaborated, “I think that is something we have to continue and live up to throughout the year in order to succeed. The freshman have fit really well in and really grasped that so far, and I am excited at how easy it was for them to slide into spots and fill in and feel like part of the team.” The first tilt of the fall season is at home on September 1 versus Dallas Christian College. Courtesy of University of Dallas Sports Information

QUICK NOTES • Dallas opens the fall at home on September 1 versus Dallas Christian College, but will only play twice the entire month • Second year head coach Emily Holombek boasted a 23-13 record in her inaugural campaign at the helm of the Lady Crusaders. Holombek’s success lifted her to the highest winning percentage mark with the program at a .639-clip • In 2014, the Lady Crusaders posted a 7-1 mark at home • Junior Mairin Guilfoyle returns as the second-leading player with 285 kills from attacks, and led the team with 0.43 service aces per game. That clip tied for third amongst the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference (SCAC) • After starting the year with four-straight dropped matches, Dallas logged a 17-4 span to propel the group to its highest winning percentage since 2010 (.703)

51 Schreiner Volleyball in 2015 will feature experience at one end of the spectrum and a youthful corps at the other end. Seniors Alyssa Chapman (San Antonio, TX/Trinity Christian HS), Caitlin Otten (League City, TX/Clear Creek HS) and Dee Bague (Killeen, TX/Harker Heights HS) provide the leadership and experience. Chapman led the team in kills last fall with 245 and was second in blocks, digs and service aces. Bague, although just a junior eligibility wise, returned from an injury in her sophomore year to finish third in kills (137) and led the team in blocks (58). Otten was fourth on the team in kills with 97. Sophomore Lauren McQueen also returns and comes off an impressive rookie season. She was second among Mountaineers in kills (211) and fourth in digs (188). The maturity gained from these four as well as sophomore Mallory Dunn (San Antonio, TX/Brennan HS) - who had to deal with injuries both during and after the season - will serve all well this time around. Look for junior Courtney Reopelle to take over the setter duties full time after serving behind graduated senior Kelli Bolen last fall. There is a level of confidence in themselves, and more

importantly in each other, that might have been missing last year. This includes a five-player freshmen class who join the returners this fall. The newcomers possess the skill to push the older players and will be able to learn the valuable leadership characteristics needed for long-term success. Head coach Howard Wallace, in his fourth year at the helm, expects a more competitive team this fall. The Mountaineers begin the 2015 campaign on Tuesday, September 1st at McMurry. The first home match in the new Stephens Family Arena will be on Wednesday, September 11th against Sul Ross State in non-conference action. The first SCAC contest will be at Texas Lutheran on Friday, September 18th.

QUICK NOTES •

The Mountaineers will be led by Head Coach Howard Wallace, who is in his fourth year with the program

The teams three leading hitters will be returning this season -- Alyssa Chapman, Lauren McQueen and Darean Bague

Chapman posted 245 kills to lead the team in 2014, adding 203 digs and 48 blocks

HANNAH long Hannah Long begins her 12th season as the head volleyball coach for the Pirates. Long has found quick success at the helm of the Pirates. Named the 2005, 2008, 2009, 2011 and 2014 (Co) Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference (SCAC) Coachof-the-Year, Long led Southwestern to a 14-0 conference mark twice and an SCAC volleyball title in 2009. In 2008, the Pirates swept the major awards in the conference taking Coach-of-the-Year, Player-ofthe-Year, Backrow Player-of-the-Year, and Freshman-of-the-Year. Just how deserving the Pirates were of these awards was shown in their post-season play as they advanced to the NCAA Regional Final where they lost in five games to eventual National Champion Emory. SU ended the season in 9th place nationally in the final AVCA poll. In 2008 the 36-5 mark represented the most wins in a single-season

timothy moten Assistant Coach

In 2012 she was promoted to Senior Women Administrator. A two-sport standout at Portland State University, Long served as the assistant volleyball coach at her alma mater before serving as the assistant coach at Western Oregon University. Long received a master’s degree in higher education administration from Texas A&M University, while also serving as the head volleyball coach for the Brazos Valley Juniors Volleyball Program. She has coached club volleyball for many years along the way and has been a club director as well.

Throughout her career with the Pirates, she has posted a 331-88 record, marking Division III’s seventh-best winning percentage by an active coach, .790, and the eighth-best of all-time. The Pirates finished the 2014 season with a record of 26-9, going 12-2 in the SCAC. They entered the conference tournament with the No. 2 seed, but fell in the championship match to top-seeded Trinity. Despite their successful season, Southwestern did not earn an at-large bid to the NCAA tournament, making it the first time in nine seasons that they missed the postseason. Southwestern’s 2015 squad will be led on offense by a trio of seniors, outside hitters Kaitlyn Foster and Macey Pool and middle blocker Olivia Drummond. Last season, Foster finished with a team-best 351 kills, while hitting .196. She also led the team with 630 digs, a mark which ranked fourth in the SCAC. She was named to First Team AllSCAC and made the SCAC All-Tournament team. Pool was second on the Pirates with 262 kills and 460 digs. She also added 24 assists and 22 service aces while putting up 14 blocks. Drummond stood tall at the net, totaling 253 kills on .221 hitting, and notching 65 blocks. Junior Kirby Kincannon will also return as a middle blocker this season. During 2014, she led the team with 90 total blocks, averaging 0.77 per set. Defensively, the Pirates will be strong, bringing back the five of

their top six back row players. In addition to Foster and Pool, setters Nikki Welch and Sydney Rochelle had big numbers on defense, putting up 329 and 242 digs, respectively. Andie Alford will also return to the backrow after totaling 264 digs. Welch and Rochelle had impressive numbers at their setter positions, with Welch putting up 755 assists and Rochelle adding 594. The Pirates had a fairly young squad last season, only graduating one senior, libero Chandler Lentz, they will come back with veteran experience. Five new faces will also join the team, as three defensive specialists, one setter and an outside hitter make up the newcomers of 2015. The Pirates will begin their season at Concordia University before hosting a tournament where they will take on the University of Texas-Dallas, Illinois Wesleyan and Whitworth. They take a trip to the west coast later in the season, visiting Claremont-Mudd-Scripps, Chapman, Occidental and Pomona-Pitzer in mid-October. They will finish the season at the Trinity University Tournament, facing a pair of Texas teams and La Verne.

TIFFANY davis The 2015 campaign will mark the 10th season for Tiffany Davis at the helm of the Texas Lutheran volleyball program. She is the second-longest tenured volleyball head coach in TLU history - trailing only NAIA Hall of Famer Susan Duke, who coached at TLU for 21 seasons. Davis has built up her program into one of the most consistent in the region. She owns a 164-104 career mark. The Bulldogs were fifth in the always-tough SCAC a year ago after a fourthplace finish in the SCAC in 2014. TLU went 20-13 overall and 6-8 in the SCAC. Davis was named the full-time head women’s volleyball coach at the conclusion of the 2006-07 athletics season. Davis first became TLU’s head volleyball coach, on an interim basis, on June 28, 2006. Davis served as the assistant coach for TLU women’s volleyball for three seasons under Brandi Bradley. Davis has led the Bulldogs to four ASC West titles, seven ASC Championship Tournament appearances, two SCAC Championship appearances, a 2007 ASC Championship, and a 2007 NCAA Division III Championship tournament berth. The 2007 Bulldogs advanced to the NCAA Division III Championship Tournament and played in the South Regional Tournament in Sherman, Texas. The Bulldogs fell in five games to regional tournament host Austin College. The 2007 Bulldogs produced an overall record of 22-7 with a conference mark of 16-2. TLU shared the ASC West Championship crown with Hardin-Simmons. Davis joined the TLU women’s volleyball coaching staff in 2003 and was a part of

krystle weidner Assistant Coach

two American Southwest Conference West Division Championships (2003 and 2004), one American Southwest Conference Championship (2004) and one NCAA Division III South Region Tournament runner-up finish (2004). In 2004, the Bulldogs made their first NCAA Division III national tournament appearance and finished ninth in the nation. Davis was first hired at TLU after lettering four seasons at Texas State University in San Marcos. Davis started at outside hitter. In 2002, she led the Bobcats in kills (293) and in kills per game (3.71). In 2001, she recorded 419 kills and averaged 3.92 kills per game. She also ranked third on the team in digs per game (2.47). Davis was a member of her alma mater’s 2000 Southland Conference Championship team. The Bobcats were undefeated in the conference that season, finished 29-4 overall and defeated the University of Texas in non-conference action. Davis played and started in 30 games that season, hit .259 with 304 kills and registered 2.95 kills per game. Davis graduated from Texas State University in 2003 with a bachelor of science degree in exercise and sports science. Davis is a native of New Braunfels and a graduate of New Braunfels Canyon High School. Davis led New Braunfels Canyon to the 1998 Class 4A State Tournament and was named to the All-State Tournament Team. Davis is married to Preston Davis. The Davis’s are proud parents of two boys, Tate and Brady, and a new daughter, Presley. Tiffany is the daughter of Dennis and Cindy Weidner of New Braunfels.

2015 season preview

Texas Lutheran opens the 2015 season with a squad of 14 that includes 10 returning letter-winners and four first-year players. TLU finished fifth in the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference last season. The Bulldogs dropped an SCAC Tournament match to University of Dallas in five sets before ending the year with a 3-0 win over Austin College. The Bulldogs went 20-13 overall and 6-8 in the always tough SCAC. Leading the way for TLU in 2015 will be junior outside hitter, Kristin Fording, who garnered All-SCAC First Team honors in her first season with the Bulldogs. Fording transferred to TLU after one year at the University of the Incarnate Word. She didn’t waste any time making her impression on the league’s coaches. She finished third in the conference in kills per set (3.11). Her 339 total kills were the most any Bulldog has racked up since 2011. Fording had nine of the top-10 kill performances in 2014 for the Bulldogs. She finished the season in arguably her best form, combining both her killer offensive game with a blossoming defensive acumen. She ended the regular season with four straight double-doubles, averaging 12.75 kills and 17 digs per set over those final four matches. While Fording led the Bulldogs in kills and kills per set, junior outside hitter Brette Threadgill wasn’t far behind. Threadgill added 309 kills and 2.76 kills per set. She hit .151 and averaged 2.92 points per set. The Bulldogs lost two-time SCAC Back-Row Player of the Year Megan Lee to graduation, so the Bulldogs will have a new libero for the first time in three seasons. Senior Megan Dugie is the first candidate to fill the role. Dugie averaged 2.18 digs per set last season. She also served 23 aces. The Bulldogs also will have a slightly new look at setter, with

the graduated Katie Darst no longer with the team. Sophomore setter Kelcie Ingram is back after a freshman campaign that included 417 assists, 202 digs and 18 service aces. If TLU goes to a 6-2 formation, with two setters rotating in the lineup, setter Kaci Pecht will be that second setter. Pecht is a freshman from Brenham, Texas. The Bulldogs also have plenty of experience returning at middle blocker with senior Anna Keeling, junior Mackenzie (Benson) Zamarrippa, and redshirt junior Carlie Childres all in the mix. Keeling averaged 2.37 points per set, hit .258 and averaged 1.70 kills per set a year ago. She recorded 65 total blocks and had 93 digs. Keeling was second on the team in service aces, with 32. Zamarrippa had 57 total blocks, 58 digs, hit .213 and registered 193 kills. Childres, back from a should injury she sustained two years ago, had 1.23 kills per set and led the team in blocks, with 82 (11 solos, 71 block assists). Another key returner is junior defensive specialist Cadie Mae Vanecek, who appeared in 27 matches last year. Vanecek had 1.03 digs per set. Courtesy of Texas Lutheran Sports Information

players to watch ERIKA EDRINGTON

JR., S, HOUSTON, TEXAS Edrington is back for her third year as Trinity’s starting setter, following her AVCA Honorable Mention All-America season in 2014. Edrington paced the Tigers with better than 1,100 assists last year, and is also leads all returning players in service aces. Her 1,136 assists in 2014 rank 15th in school history for a single season, and she is approaching 2,000 assists in her Trinity career.

REBECCA HAYES SO., MB, BOONE, NC

Despite playing her first collegiate season, Hayes was one of Trinity’s starting middle blockers in 2014, and she definitely did not play like a first-year. She leads all returning players in blocks for the 2015 season, and though she has big shoes to fill in Trinity grad and AVCA All-American Erin Cusenbary, Hayes and fellow sophomore Kristina Hughes plan to be up for the challenge.

SHANNON COURTNEY SR., DS, HOUSTON, TEXAS Courtney will once again anchor the back line as the libero for the Tiger defense this season. Last year, she broke Trinity’s single season record with 637 digs. This season will mark her third as the starting libero, and Courtney is aiming for a spot among the all-time leaders as a Tiger. She is on pace to become just the second Trinity player ever to record 1,700 digs in a career, and her 34 digs in a single match against Southwestern last season ties her for fifth in school history. Courtney also led the Tigers in service aces in 2014, tying for a spot in the top 15 in Trinity’s record book.

KIRBY SMITH

SO., OH, PILOT POINT, TEXAS Smith joins Hayes as a returning starter in the sophomore class for the Tigers, having worked her way into the lineup as both a right side and outside hitter in 2014. Smith is the team’s leading returner in kills, and the expectation level is off the charts this season as she must lead the way in filling the void left by All-American outside hitters Maggie Emodi and Layne Hubbard.

2015 season preview

Julie Jenkins is in her 31st season as head coach of the Trinity Tigers volleyball team. Since taking the Tigers helm in 1985, Coach Jenkins has amassed 803 wins. Including one season, in 1984 at Virginia Commonwealth University, Coach Jenkins is the winningest coach in the NCAA Division III, with 832 victories. Coach Jenkins will have five returning starters for the 2015 edition of Tigers volleyball, included with the eight returnees from the 2014 campaign. PrepVolleyball.com awarded the Tigers a No. 13 national ranking prior to the 2015 season. Last season, Trinity advanced to the NCAA Sweet 16 for the second consecutive year, and 12th overall. The NCAA Tournament was highlighted by a convincing 3-1 second-round win over third-ranked California Lutheran University.The Tigers wrapped up the season with a 30-10 record, and a No. 15 ranking by the American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA). Prior to the NCAA Tournament, Trinity won a 17th Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference Championship, and qualified for the national event for the 21st time. The Tigers defeated Southwestern University 3-0 in the conference final. Six seniors completed their eligibility, including All-Americans Erin Cusenbary, Maggie Emodi, and Layne Hubbard. All of the seniors will be missed, but Coach Jenkins is enthusiastic about the returnees and talented newcomers. “We graduated a very talented and successful senior class,” Coach Jenkins said, “and we will have some key positions to replace. Having our starting setter and libero back will be a big benefit. Our returners and first years are up to the challenge and we’re excited to get started.” Junior setter is Erika Edrington, who earned AVCA Honorable Mention All-America honors led the Tigers with 1,136 assists (7.73 per set). She finished fourth on the team in digs, with 391. Edrington also made the All-Region team and the All-SCAC Second Team. Shannon Courtney is a senior libero, who paced the Tigers with 637 digs, which is a new school record for digs in a season. Courtney was first in aces (63) and second in passing average, at 2.39. She received SCAC Player of the Week and SCAC All Sportsmanship honors in 2014. Sophomore Kirby Smith is a returning starter at the outside hitter position, who registered 148 kills (1.80 per set). Sharing middle blocker starting duties were sophomores Rebecca Hayes and Kristina Hughes. Each player posted 67 blocks during the season. Hughes fired in 87 kills, and Hayes accounted for 72. In addition to Courtney, the seniors corps will consist of right-side player/ outside hitter Megan Reynolds, and defensive specialist Sarah Price. Right-side player Katie Gillis joins Edrington as a returning junior. The Tigers were ranked No. 2 nationally in digs (2,741) and fourth in blocks (327). Trinity also held a No. 7 ranking in national kills (1,842), and was ninth in assists (1,721). “The fans will see a lot of athleticism,” Coach Jenkins said. “They are used to seeing a pretty explosive and powerful offense. We will be very balanced offensively and get scoring at all positions.”

A total of 11 newcomers will join the Trinity team this season, including leftside player Sarah Mullens from Aurora, Colorado, who was the 2014 state championship most valuable player. Her Grandview High School team won the state title for the second straight year. Jade Schoenberger from Palo Alto, California, was a three-time All-League recipient while playing the left side of the court. Setter Nicole Spooner, from Saugus, California, was a two-time team captain and was elected to the All-League Team. Setter Amelia Roden of Pearland, Texas, earned All-District accolades for three years. Right-side player Tabby Mays, who hails from Athens, Georgia, garnered All-Area honors for three seasons. Assistant Coach Aly Lilley ‘09, a former Tiger All-American, is in her fourth year as the Tigers assistant coach. Playing a key role in recruiting new talent for the Trinity program, Coach Lilley believes this group will make a tremendous impact on the 2015 Tiger team. “The strength of our newcomers will be their competitiveness and athleticism,” Coach Lilley said. “Coming from different states, they have experience in a variety of competitive environments, at the high school and club level. They have made an effort to get to know each other and our current players, so we are excited to see them come together as a team.” Also returning as assistant coach is Brad Bulycz. He is in his fifth season on the Tiger coaching staff. Trinity opens the 2015 season September 1 by hosting the University of St. Thomas (TX), and Huston-Tillotson College. Three tournaments are on the home schedule, starting with the SCAC Cross Divisional September 26-27. Up first is Colorado College, ranked 14th in the preseason poll. The Trinity Fall Classic will be held October 2-3, as the Tigers take on 21st ranked Nebraska Wesleyan University. The finale will be the Trinity National Invitational October 30-31. One of the competing teams is the University of La Verne (CA), which Trinity blanked 3-0 in the NCAA first round. The SCAC Championship will take place November 6-7 at Southwestern in Georgetown, Texas. The NCAA Super Regional is on the docket for November 13-15, at a site to be determined. Christopher Newport University, at Newport News, Virginia, will host the NCAA Championship November 20-22. Courtesy of Trinity Sports Information
