And the schedule is now posted.  Not afraid to play very, very good teams nationally.

As one would expect of Trinity...

Trinity was the near-unanimous choice to win the SCAC in this year's preseason coaches poll, receiving 10 first and one second-place vote.  Colorado College received the other first-place vote to come in second, followed by Texas Lutheran.  Trinity will again be led by last year's SCAC PoTY, Mackenzie Logan, who returns for the final year of extended COVID eligibility.  The conference's leading hitter (.403) and blocker (138, 1.16 per set), Maddie Fate, also returns for a final COVID year. 

Conference play will be odd this year due to the sheer number of teams.  From the release: 

QuoteThe league has adopted a change in format this season as teams will be divided into divisions and the top eight teams will qualify for the postseason conference tournament. Austin College, Centenary, Colorado College, Dallas, McMurry and St. Thomas will comprise the Blue Division and Concordia (Texas), Schreiner, Southwestern, Texas Lutheran and Trinity will make up the Gold Division. Teams within their division will play a double round robin, teams outside of their division will play a single round robin, giving Blue Division teams a 15-game conference schedule and Gold Division teams a 14-game schedule. 

The Blue Division will feature the teams predicted to finish 2nd, 4th, 7th, 8th, 9th, and 11th (average, 6.8), while the Gold Division will have the 1st, 3rd, 5th, 6th, and 10th (average, 5.0). 

Conference championship participants will also be selected differently:

Quotethe top three teams from each division, plus the next two best conference records (regardless of division), will compete in a single-elimination tournament

No mention of tie-breaking criteria, which hopefully won't come into play given that the divisions play a different number of games, making ties less likely.  The SCAC probably goes back to a double round-robin next year after Southwestern and Trinity depart and LeTourneau joins.

It looks like Coach Jenkins at Trinity has figured some things out with team chemistry.  The Tigers dipped below .500 play early in the season and have slowly regained winning consistency.  Last night's complete 3-0 victory over #18 Southwestern, a team to whom they'd lost earlier in the season (1-3) revealed the turnaround starkly.  Not surprising given the consistency of Trinity and the greatness of Coach Jenkins.

Well done, ladies.
