Quote from: Greek Tragedy on February 15, 2025, 04:20:39 AMSt. Thomas takes a big loss. They sit as the Pool A, but around the Pool C 11-12 mark. It'll be interesting how big of a drop they take after their loss to Ozarks.

D3datacast still has them 29th overall, bubble in (53.7% if no pool A) but another loss, either to Trinity or Schreiner next weekend, would severely hurt those chances. 

Unfortunately for Trinity, last night they were not only again without Christian Green, but also his replacement, Ty Williams.  You can get away with that against TLU and Southwestern (one hopes) but it'll be a tough road next week without them.   Both were in street clothes.

Trinity put their student manager, senior Henry Thompson, on the roster for the weekend.  He was 0-2 but did manage a rebound in his two minutes.

Nice to see Ty Williams play on Senior Night and have a solid game.  He seemed to be moving well.

Also nice to see a bucket from Henry Thompson.  A really nice thing for the team to do.

Lastly, Jacob Harvey sank one of the best three-point shots I've ever seen...and was fouled doing it.

124 points from Trinity yesterday at U Dallas.  Happy to see this output given the loss of Jamie Ruede.  Natalie Greenwood has come alive and is flexing down low.  Also impressed with freshman Livy Sauvageau as the leading scorer.

A much better team than a few weeks ago.  Well done, ladies!

Quote from: Freddyfud on December 06, 2024, 12:32:48 PMJust when you thought the boards were about to go quiet for the off season...

Surprised Adam Knutson from Trinity is not included.  I guess 17 goals and 6 assists are not good enough.

He's a threat from anywhere with amazing ball skills.  A true game changing player. He should be on this list.

Centre playing CMU about even.

UMHB playing very well at HSU.

Good games to watch.

I imagine they would have gone for the win.  When Dr. Jekyll UMHB focused, they methodically drove down the field and scored (beginning of the 2nd half, game-winning drive).  Trinity couldn't stop them in that mode so would have avoided it by going for the win.  In my humble opinion.

Quote from: Ron Boerger on August 23, 2024, 10:12:33 AMTrinity(TX), 82-1-0 in conference play the last eight seasons, is the unanimous pick to win the SCAC title in their final SCAC year, as all five Tigers named to one of the all-conference teams last season return.  Texas Lutheran is the pick for second and the two will face off in Seguin September 6th in what could determine the regular season champion - though Southwestern, a close third, will try to repeat the 2-1 upset in 2021 which represents the sole regular-season blemish in those eight seasons.

Now 93-1 in conference play over nine seasons!  And despite not even receiving top 25 votes after a one-loss season (to Christopher Newport) they are still dancing in the Elite 8.  Their style of play has been...methodical, I guess, but it has proven to be effective.  GK Lauryn Lewis has been superb with 22, yes, 22 saves in the last two games. 

Go get the championship!

Quote from: Ron Boerger on November 23, 2024, 10:38:12 PMA DB with no INTs and fewer PBUs than a LB. 

I know right? The only Berry player even on the NCAA national PBU rankings is Whitten's teammate, Kristofer Thomas, who is ranked 182. Would appreciate some input from a coach or Berry fan to provide some insight here. Again, I know CB/Safety are thankless positions so I am not dismissing that fact; just hard to rationalize from a purely statistical standpoint.

Rabson played with purpose today against UMHB:

15 Tackles (8 solo), 2.5 TFL, .5 sacks, and an interception.

I had the chance to speak with his family briefly and express my admiration for his skill and work ethic.  Fine people who raised a fine young man.

Quote from: Dustin_Patrón on November 23, 2024, 03:08:02 PMFirst time watching Trinity this year and I couldn't be more underwhelmed by their performance. The Trinity Bantams could compete with them in this second half.

Cap tipped to Babson, they left the neck warmers at home and came with a game plan, stuck to it and it's paying off. Trinity showing no fight. This ones a wrap.

Unrelated but shoutout to David Saward adding some great color commentary on this Midd broadcast. He should do the final 4.

First time watching.  Enough said.

To heck with that!  Dig in, focus, and prove 'em wrong.

Hope the secondary can hold up.

They need to dig deep.  It's a mental game in the backfield

TLU - Southwestern tied 10-10 with a few seconds remaining.  Likely OT.

Looked like SW had it.  Go Pirates!

I attended the TU - Belhaven match.  Now I'm home and the turf looks much worse on camera than it is in reality.  The field is sound.

Stop in the bar at the Menger Hotel next to the Alamo.  It's where Teddy Roosevelt met with Roughriders preparing for their Cuba expedition.  It's also a very cool bar.

Quote from: rdanie03 on November 11, 2024, 03:43:40 PMI feel really bad for Bowdoin, even as a jumbos fan. They are in their best form of the year, but being sent to San Antonio to play Trinity is no joke
agreed - but as far as D3 soccer goes that will be as close to a D1 experience they will get with travel and facility - great experience for them win or lose.

We're looking forward to hosting y'all here in San Antonio.  The weather should be perfect, and the pitch is terrific.  The city is a lot of fun and Trinity is close to downtown.  Gonna be great!
