Trinity women's soccer will open the new year as one of the teams to watch in the NAIA, as the Trolls received votes in the NAIA Women's Soccer Coaches' Top 25 Preseason Poll, released on Wednesday.
Trinity was one of three teams in the CCAC to earn votes for the national rankings, along with defending CCAC Tournament champions St. Ambrose and regular-season title holders Judson. Last season the Trolls placed 2nd in the conference, reaching the tournament final before making a semi-final appearance in the National Christian College Athletic Association (NCCAA) National Championship.
Two-time CCAC Player of the Year Brianna Uhl returns to Trinity, after leading the league with 32 goals, second-most nationally in the NAIA. Joining Uhl on the 2022 squad is fellow All-CCAC First Team selections Demi Scibetta and Litzy Corona as well as last year's Second-Team honoree Selah Hopkins.
Trinity will kick off the new season on Saturday, August 20 when they begin their west-coast swing with Ottawa (Ariz.), then face Vanguard (Calif.) on Monday, August 22. The Trolls return to Schaaf Athletic Complex for the home opener on Saturday, August 27, when they host No. 20 Southeastern (Fla.).
