Josie Napoli is transferring from Pacific Lutheran. She started in all but one game for them last year as a Freshman. Averaged a team high 14.7 points per game. Also led the team in minutes played, assists and steals.

This sounds like another great example of the staff working the phone lines/intrawebs.

With the departures of both Hailey Coleman and Kelly Simmons, Trinity may have to play a more outside game next season. Maggie Shipley will certainly get her share of points inside but she's more of a penetrator than someone who dominates in the post. It will be interesting to see who else comes to San Antonio in the fall - some size, always a rare thing at this level, would be welcome.

Huge loss for Trinity this week as Assistant Coach Joe Shotland has taken the Head Coaching position at UTD Comets. The next asst will have some huge shoes to fill. Wish Coach Joe all the luck in the world at UTD.

Fun story about some of the TU ballers (on both the men's and women's side) participating in a D3 group that played in Brazil this summer: https://www.trinitytigers.com/sports/mbkb/2022-23/releases/20220811hfgm1r

Kelly Simmons '22 won't be leaving the program after all - she was just announced as the assistant coach for her alma mater. Congrats, Kelly!

Bravo! Kelly was a favorite from my 2018 prospect list; her family reassignment to Texas was to Trinity's benefit.

Trinity picked up another transfer, A'Nnika Saenz from D1 UT-Rio Grande Valley of the WAC, who saw limited playing time in 14 games last season but at 5'11" should add height to the Tiger backcourt, especially if she can combine with Maggie Shipley (6'0"). TU starts the season ranked fifth in the initial D3hoops.com Top 25.

Riley Zayas, of Tru to the Cru fame, is doing a substack focused on D3 women's basketball (all of it, not UMHB). Have a look and sign up at https://d3wbbscoop.substack.com/p/november-8-2022-the-season-has-arrived

Thanks Ron! Appreciate it. Yes, I'll be covering all things WBB in a pretty concise format each day. Should be a lot of fun. I'll also be on Hoopsville talking women's hoops once again this season. And never hesitate to reach out with any notables, thoughts, feedback!

The Trinity women got their season off to a rollicking start with a 140-87 demolition of Birmingham-Southern at a tournament in Alabama.

Yes, 140 points. According to TU SID that is the highest output at any level of NCAA WBB in nearly three years, and it marked the first time any women's basketball team scored at least 30 points each quarter since the four quarter season was instituted in 2015-16.

Trinity was led by a combined 20-21 shooting performance from seniors Addie Putnam (11-11 including 2-2 from deep, 26 points) and Claire Hale (20 points on a "pedestrian" 9-of-10). Both players suffered through DNP-Injury for the duration of last season.

Lol figures

A nice start to the season, hoping my kid can heal up and get out there.

Ron Boerger · November 20, 2022, 04:06:07 PM

Maggie Shipley went down with a shoulder or arm injury against HPU and didn't start today so at this point I'm hoping it wasn't a season-ending injury.

Good win for Trinity at HSU last night - details in Riley's substack (once today's article is published), but a pretty back-and-forth game until Ashlyn Milton (a game-high 17 points) hit three straight threes in the fourth quarter to account for most of the final 76-69 margin. The teams will resume battle Saturday afternoon in San Antonio and it'll be interesting to see how the teams make adjustments given the short timeframe (and Thanksgiving in-between).

Ashlyn is shooting the three ball well so far in this young season, 12-30 (40%) largely on the strength of 8-12 in the last two games.
