SCAC Tournament

The end of February for college basketball teams is crunch time and the Trinity lady tigers were no exception. They had been preparing the whole month and battled their way into the Southern Colliegate Athletic Conference tournament in Jackson, Mississippi. The Tigers went on a 4-0 winning run to end their regular season at home. This ending landed them as the second seed in the conference tournament. The bracket is split up into the east and west and therefore has two number one seeds. Trinity was the only team in the whole conference to beat both number one seeds during the regular season. Trinity faced Rhodes College in the quarter final match up; they had beaten Rhodes by ten during the regular season. This time, Trinity won by a clear margin of victory greater than 20 points. Everyone on the team scored. Coach Bradley said, “it proved how deep of a bench we have, not every team in the conference can play every single person and still be victorious.” Unfortunately, Trinity fell to nationally ranked Depaw University who was also their conference rival. Depaw went on to win the conference tournament to deserve a bid in the NCAA tournament after ending Trinity’s season.
