The 1999-2000 Trinity's women's basketball team finished another successful campaign with a 22-5 record and earned their eighth consecutive post-season berth as the first seed in the Eastern College Athletic Conference Division III New England Championship Tournament.

Throughout the season, the Bantams were consistently led by senior forward Gretchen MacColl, who averaged 15.3 ppg and 10.1 rpg and shot 60 percent from the field .

Trinity opened its season with seven consecutive victories, including a season-opening, 69-58 triumph over regionally-ranked Babson College and quality victories over Coast Guard, 65-47, and Smith, 78-51.

In the Williams College Winter Classic on January 8, the undefeated Bantams suffered their first loss of the season to the Williams College Ephs in the finals, 65-61. Despite the loss, MacColl and junior guard Jackie Siscone both earned All-Tournament honors for the Bantams.

For the remainder of the month of January, the Bantams won six out of eight games. The losses included a 78-62 defeat at the hands of NCAA-bound Wellesley College and the NESCAC season opener at Connecticut College, 66-64. At the conclusion of the month, the Trinity had a respectful 13-3 record and was ranked No. 6 in New England region.

January victories included a one-point win over NCAA -bound Clark University, in which MacColl scored a career-high 33 points and grabbed 10 rebounds. Following the loss to Connecticut College, the Bantams bounced back with a 63-52 overtime win against Western Connecticut, which was ranked No. 5 in New England. In the victory, sophomore guard Bridget Dullea anchored a balanced attack with 16 points, seven boards, and four steals, while senior co-captain forward Caitlin Luz pulled down a season-high 18 rebounds.

The final games of the month included NESCAC victories over the NESCAC Champion Bates College Bobcats, 72-63, and the Tufts University Jumbos, 65-48. In the win over Bates, Siscone led the team with 20 points, and freshman center Kate McCloskey came off the bench to contribute 17 points and 15 rebounds. MacColl paced the Trinity squad against Tufts with 16 points, 12 rebounds, 3 blocks, and 3 steals.

Trinity started its February schedule with two convincing league victories over the Middlebury Panthers and the Williams Ephs. In the Middlebury matchup, Siscone broke a College-record with nine three-point shots and scored 29 points to lead the Bantams to a fifth consecutive win and a 14-3 record. Also, MacColl and Dullea contributed to the cause with 20 and 15 points, respectively.

In a rematch against Williams, the Trinity squad rolled over the Lady Ephs, 67-55. Siscone led the team with 19 points, MacColl totaled 17 points and three steals, and McCloskey came off the bench to add 11 points and seven boards.

By mid-February, the squad was on a roll with seven consecutive wins and a 16-3 record, earning a No. 2 ranking in New England. On February 12th, the winning streak came to an abrupt halt with a 77-70 defeat at the hands of the Hamilton College Continentals in Clinton, NY. Despite the loss, MacColl scored 18 points, including her 1,000th career point. Senior co-captain guard Megan Shutte notched 10 points and five assists as well.

On the road for the second weekend in a row, this time in Maine, the Bantams suffered their fifth loss of the season to the Mules of Colby College, 66-61. Dullea led all scorers with 23 points in a losing effort. NESCAC Co-Player of the week, MacColl was the only other Trinity double-digit scorer with 15 points.

MacColl scored 19 points and grabbed 18 rebounds to lead the Bantams and seal their fifth win in NESCAC. Dullea scored 16 points, and Siscone and McCloskey had 10 points apiece.

Trinity closed out the regular season with wins against Amherst and Wesleyan. MacColl and Dullea combined for 27 points against the Jeffs and the Trinity defense held Amherst to six second-half field goals in a 56-45 triumph. Siscone scored 19 points to lead Trinity to a 60-56 win at Wesleyan, as the Bantams finished the season at 19-5.

Trinity got squeezed out of the NCAA Tournament, but returned to the postseason for the sixth straight year as the top seed in the ECAC Division III Championship field. The Bantam hosted Babson in the quarterfinals, winning 66-53 behind career-highs of 26 points and seven steals by sophomore guard McKenzie Corby off the bench.

The Bantams completed its fine campaign with a 71-61 win over Middlebury in the ECAC Finals. McCloskey dominated the paint with 22 points and 11 boards, and Dullea totaled 15 points and three assists to earn Tournament MVP honors.

Men's Basketball

The 1999-2000 Trinity College men's basketball team extended its string of consecutive winning seasons to seven, finishing with a respectable 14-8 record, under the direction of Head Coach Stan Ogrodnik.

After a promising beginning, the midseason loss of starting sophomore center Brian Dion to injury and late-season losses in the league ended the squad's postseason hopes.

Ranked No. 16 in the nation in preseason, the Bantams dropped their season-opener at Eastern Connecticut State University, 83-74. Four Bantams fouled out in the game and the Warriors took advantage in the game's final two minutes. Junior guard Scott Wallach paced Trinity with 22 points, including three out of four three-pointers in the second half.

Trinity did not lose again for two months, starting with a 73-68 win over Western Connecticut and an 82-61 victory over the Coast Guard Academy in December. Senior co-captain forward Rory Neal scored a career-high 27 points against Western Connecticut and Wallach had 24 points against Coast Guard.

Trinity's momentum carried into the Christmas break, as the Bantams improved to 4-1 with wins over Eastern Nazarene and Albertus Magnus. The balanced attack was led by Neal, who tossed in 15 in the 83-53 victory over Eastern Nazarene and recorded a double-double with 17 points and a career-high 20 rebounds in the 91-66 rout of Albertus. After averaging 15.0 points and 15.5 rebounds and sinking 67 percent of his field goal attempts (14-21), Neal was the named the NESCAC Co-Player of the Week on Dec. 13.

Over Christmas break, the Bantams traveled to nearby Springfield, MA to compete in the James Naismith Classic at Springfield College. Trinity defeated Salve Regina, 108-81, in the semifinals and edged Springfield, 73-69, to win the Naismith crown.

Against Salve, Wallach led all scorers with 20 points and freshman forward Ryan Uszenski contributed a career-high 15 points and 10 rebounds off the bench. Trinity set a new Naismith Classic record with 108 points in the semifinal victory.

In the finals, Neal totaled 12 points and 12 rebounds to earn Tournament MVP honors and a spot on the NESCAC honor roll. Sophomore guard Colin Tabb led Trinity in scoring against Springfield with 17 points, pulled down six boards, and notched four assists to gain All-Tournament recognition.

The Bantams returned home to win their next three contests, including an 89-83 win over NESCAC rival Connecticut College in the league opener on January 18th, avenging a 73-70 loss in the Elite Eight last season. Wallach and Tabb both scored 21 points, and Neal contributed 20. Junior center Julian Bah came off the bench to pull down nine rebounds in 17 minutes. Neal was named the NESCAC Co-Player of the Week for the second time that season.

The Bantams traveled north as the No. 2 in New England and the No. 19 team in the nation with a nine-game winning streak. However, the streak ended with consecutive NESCAC losses at Bates and Tufts. Bates, coached by former Trinity star Joe Reilly, posted an 85-80 upset. Wallach scored 20 points and Neal had 18 points and nine rebounds, but Dion, the team's best defensive player, was lost for season with a knee injury. In the 86-78 defeat at Tufts, Neal totaled 18 points and 12 rebounds while Wallach and Tabb added 16 points each.

Three days alter on February 1, the team saw its 20-game home winning streak collapse with a 97-82 loss to Clark University. Tabb poured in a career-high 25 points, while Neal and Wallach added 21 points each in the loss.

Trinity bounced back, winning four out of five games in the following two weeks, posting victories over Middlebury, Elms, Lasell, and NCAA-bound Hamilton.

The weekend of February 18th brought a split for Trinity at home as the Bantams lost to Colby, 86-74, but handed Bowdoin a 72-66 defeat. Junior co-captain guard Mike LaBella paced the Bantams against Colby, scoring 20 points off the bench. Against Bowdoin, Neal finished with 18 points and 12 rebounds, while Wallach and Tabb tossed in 11 points apiece.

The team's final two games would determine Trinity's chances for postseason play. Neal paced the Bantams in a 95-78 loss at Amherst with 22 points, while Tabb added 19 points and junior guard Mike Keohane chipped in 15.

In the season finale, a 92-81 loss at home to Wesleyan, Neal scored 21 points with nine boards and four steals in his final collegiate game. Tabb totaled 20 points and dished out six assists, while LaBella had 18 points, including four three-pointers.

The future looks bright with all but one letterwinner returning, including a healthy Dion, in 2000-01. A strong recruiting class should help ease the loss of Neal, and the experience of seniors LaBella, Keohane, Wallach, and Bah make the prospects of a return to the postseason next season very promising.

Men's Ice Hockey

The Trinity College men's ice hockey team came into the 1999-2000 season with high aspirations after enjoying its greatest success since joining the competitive NESCAC/ECAC East Conference. The loss of star goalie, Jeff Blair, to graduation and Trinity's all-time save leader would be prove tough to replace, but with the majority of the top goal-scorers and top defensemen returning, Head Coach John Dunham and the Bantams expected another fine campaign.

The team's final record was a disappointing 9-14 overall and 6-11 in conference play as injuries and the fatigue of a long season took its toll.

The Bantams began the season on the road, traveling to the Boston area to open he conference season and to Connecticut College for the Luce Tournament. Trinity began with a 7-4 victory over Mass-Boston and a 4-0 triumph at Babson. Freshman goalie Evan Munno posted his first career shutout against the Beavers. In the Luce Tourney semifinals, Trinity routed host Connecticut College, 6-2, as senior tri-captain forward Dan Lyons had two goals and an assist.

The Bantams' first loss of the season came at the hands of Amherst College in the finals of the following day. In a heartbreaker, Trinity fell, 3-2, in overtime after blowing a 2-1 in the third period.

New England College shocked Trinity in its next game, scoring four goals in four minutes in the second period. Trinity fell behind although senior tri-captain forward Ryan Southard scored a late goal.

The team rallied against St. Anselm the following day, jumping out to an early 3-0. Senior forward Mikko Auvinen led Trinity with two goals in a 5-2 triumph.

Trinity spent the New Year in Vermont, competing in the Norwich Tournament. On December 30, the Bantams lost, 3-2, to RIT in overtime. Sophomore forward Ryan Beale scored in the first period and senior forward Wayne Sellers forced the extra frame with a goal in the final minute of regulation. Fellow senior forward Scott Rickard led Trinity with two goals and an assist in an 8-2 consolaton win over St. Michael's on New Year's Eve.

Trinity returned to conference action but stumbled badly with five straight league losses. Injuries and the flu were key contributors to the losing streak just before the weekend trip to Hamilton and Skidmore Hamilton and Skidmore on the road. Particularly tough to swallow was a 6-3 loss to Skidmore, giving the Thoroughbreds their first league victory of the season. Junior forward Denis Petrov tallied a goal and an assist in the loss.

Trinity sandwiched a 7-4 win against Framingham State between losses to Amherst, Middlebury, and Norwich, before finally posting a 5-1 victory against Connecticut College. Sophomore defenseman Brian Fenwick scored twice and sophomore forward Mark Colwell totaled three assists, while junior forward Greg Bridgeman added a pair of goals to lead the Bantams.

The next day, however, Wesleyan ended its 23-game winless streak against the Bantams. The Cardinals went ahead, 5-0, before Trinity woke up and scored four straight goals. Auvinen led the comeback with two goals and an assist and Petrov notched three assists. Wesleyan held on, however, for a 6-4 win and its first victory against Trinity since 1983.

The Bantams played Williams at home on February 4th, and suffered a devastating loss. Trinity led by two goals with less than five minutes to play, but allowed two goals in regulation and a third in the extra frame. Sophomore goalie Geoff Faulkner, who filled in valiantly for Blair all season, was spectacular with 40 saves. The loss put Trinity's hopes a of a return to postseason play in serious doubt.

The Bantams went 2-3 over the final five games to finish at 9-14. Lyons, Southard, senior tri-captain defenseman Andrew Burns, whose midseason injury proved to be a major loss for the Bantams, and Auvinen, Scott, and Sellers raised the team's level of play over their careers but also its expectations. Trinity looks to return to the NESCAC Playoffs in 2000-01.

Women's Ice Hockey

The Trinity College women's hockey continued to make steps toward building its program in its second season at the varsity level. The Bantams posted a 3-14-1 under the direction of Head Coach Joe Snecinski.

Senior tri-captains forwards Devon Binch, Amanda Lydon, and Erin Sousa played with pride and determination in their final seasons, as did senior defender Emily LaCroix, and the team has a bright future with promising underclassmen.

The women opened the season with a loss against Amherst, but bounced back with a 14-0 victory over MIT. Sousa and freshman defender Katie Bowman each recorded a hat trick and two assists.

The Bantams won at Bates, 6-3, led by sophomore forward Eliza Nordeman with three first period goals. Sophomore goalie Eleanore Maletta, a converted defender, had 27 saves.

After a loss at the University of Southern Maine, the team rallied with a tie Wesleyan. Freshman forward Lindsay Peet scored the game-tying goal with 18:06 left in regulation in a 3-3 final.

The team's final victory came at Division I Holy Cross by a score of 3-1. Nordeman, Lydon, and Bowman provided the scoring, and Maletta made 29 saves.

Six straight losses to end the season left the Bantams with a sour taste in their mouths at 3-14-1. However the team played hard to the end, putting out a solid effort in the season finale against a solid Colby team in a 7-2 defeat.

The scoring abilities of Lydon, Sousa, and Binch will be missed next season. However, with talented young players, such as Peet and Bowman, sophomore defender Jessica Martin, and freshmen Erin LeDell and Caroline Cummings among others, the future is in good hands.

Men's Squash

The 2000 Trinity College men's squash team continued their unprecedented success with a second consecutive National Intercollegiate Squash Racquets' Association (NISRA) Team Championship title.

Trinity posted an 18-0 dual record this season, tying the College record for wins in a season set in 1998, and captured its third straight Intercollegiate Squash Association (ISA) dual-season title.

The Bantams, who currently own a 35-match winning streak, dominated their competition with 9-0 wins its their first 10 matches.

After breezing to wins over Tufts and MIT in December, Trinity embarked on a training trip to Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

The team, which featured 10 international players on its own roster, faced some fierce competition against some of the world's best players, while growing together as a unit. The trip solidified an already-strong team-first attitude, which has been a vital component of Trinity's rise to dominance under Head Coach Paul Assaiante.

The Bantams returned to intercollegiate play on January 15 with a trip to Pennsylvania for matches against Denison and Franklin & Marshall. Trinity shut out both teams and stood at 4-0 with the tougher Ivy League schedule ahead.

At Yale on January 19, Trinity won, 9-0, led by 3-0 triumphs by senior Marcus Cowie and junior Akhil Behl.

Trinity hosted Vassar and Dartmouth three days later with familiar results. Senior co-captain Preston Quick and freshman phenom Jonathan Smith won 3-0 matches.

Two other rookie, freshman Nickolas Kyme and Carl Baglio proved they belonged with 3-0 wins in a 9-0 triumoh at Amherst on January 27.

After 9-0 shutouts over Williams and Brown, the Bantams hosted No. 2 Harvard on February 5. Trinity won the match, 7-2, as Quick, Behl, Smith, and junior Loua Coetzee breezed to 3-0 victories.

The following weekend, Trinity headed to western New York for matches against Hobart, Rochester, and Western Ontario. The Bantams won all three matches, 9-0, and won all 27 individual matchesby 3-0 counts. Sophomore Lefike Ragontse and sophomore twins Guarav and Rohan Juneja all posted three wins on the trip.

Trinity won, 7-2, in the regular season finale at Princeton, and prepared to defend its national title at the NISRA Team Championships at Yale on February 25-27.

The Bantams disposed of Dartmouth and Yale, 9-0, in the quarterfinals and semifinals, and faced Harvard in the finals for the fourth straight season. Cowie and Quick led the way with wins at No. 1and No. 2, as the Bantams won easily, 8-1.

The 2000 campaign concluded with the NISRA Singles Championships, which Cowie had won in 1997 and 1998, at Williams on March 3-5. Cowie and Quick both advanced to semifinals, but were both defeated by defending champion Peter Yik, of Princeton. Yik won, 3-0, over Quick in the semis and 3-1 over Cowie in the finals.

In the consolation rounds, sophomore Rohan Bhappu and Smith emerged as champions, while Behl and junior Duncan Pearson won the NISRA Doubles title.

In 1999-00, the Trinity men's squash program followed up the best-ever intercollegiate squash season with an even better one. Quick and senior co-captain Duncan Burn, and seniors Luke Semple and Richard Sheldon leave the program having gone to national championship finals in all four seasons and posted a 69-3 record.

The Bantams return 12 players in 2000-01, all of whom could be No. 1's at most other schools. Coach Assaiante and the Bantams are optimistic the run will continue.

Women's Squash

The 1999-2000 Trinity College women's squash team, under the direction of Head Coach Wendy Bartlett, finished the season with an impressive 15-3 overall record, and placed a best-ever third in the Women's Intercollegiate Squash Association (WISA) Howe Cup Team Championships.

Led by two-time All-American senior co-captain Gail Davie, and freshman Nicola Clark, the Bantams quickly compiled a 2-0 record in the first week of the season with shutout wins against St. Lawrence and Tufts.

Returning from a semester abroad, two-time All-American junior Janine Thompson helped the Bantams win their next six matches for an eight-game winning streak.

Trinity faced its first major challenge of the season, when it hosted No. 1 Penn. Sophomore Mollie Anderson posted the lone Trinity victory, as the Quakers defeated the Bantams, 8-1. The squad bounced back three days later in Middletown with a 9-0 shutout against Wesleyan.

On January 28th, senior co-captain Randy DePree, Thompson starred in the Constable Invitational at Princeton University. DePree won the 4.0 level Princeton Championship consolation tourney with five victories and Thompson, seeded No. 4 in the tournament field, won four matches to become the first-ever Bantam to win the Constable title.

Returning to team competition, Trinity easily defeated Brown University, 9-0, to set up a pivotal match against Harvard. February 5 proved to be a historic day for the Trinity women's squash program, as the Bantams defeated the Ivy League powerhouse, 5-4, for the first time in College history. Individual wins came from the top-three seeded players: Thompson, Clark, and Davie, as well as freshman No. 5 Clare Austin and Anderson at No. 6.

Trinity continued its winning ways, defeating Williams College and Amherst College, both 9-0, on the road.

In the final dual match of the regular season, the Bantams traveled south to New Jersey to challenge the third-ranked Princeton Tigers. Anderson kept her perfect dual-record intact with a 3-2 win at No. 5 and Austin posted the other Trinity victory at No. 6, but Trinity fell to the Tigers, 7-2. Trinity finished the regular season at 13-2 and ranked No. 4 in the nation.

At the Howe Cup, the team defeated Yale, 6-3, and Harvard, 5-4, but dropped a 6-3 decision to runner-up Princeton in between the semifinals to come away with a third-place performance. The Bantams' accomplishments for the weekend went down in the school record books, as the final No. 3 ranking and the 15-3 overall record were all-time bests. Also, the win over fourth-place Harvard was Bartlett's 150th-career victory in her 16th season at Trinity.

On March 6, Trinity finished up with the WISA Singles Championships at Williams College. The Bantams were well-represented by Thompson, sophomore Samantha Lewins, and Davie. Thompson won four 3-0 matches before falling in the semifinals.

Wrestling

The Trinity College wrestling team finished the 1999-00 season with a record of 14-11, under the direction of Head Coach Sebby Amato. Two Bantams, junior Michael Marcucio and freshman Mark Foresi, received wild-card entries into the NCAA Division III National Championships. A Bantam wrestler has qualified for Nationals seven of the last eight years.

After finishing in the middle of the pack, 10th out of 19 teams, at the Springfield Invitational, to start the 1999-00 campaign, the Bantams took off to an impressive 5-1 record.

Trinity notched victories over Western New England, Wesleyan, York, Scranton, and Lebanon Valley before

suffering its first loss of the season to Ursinus College at the North/South Duals at WNEC.

The Bantam season was up and down from this point on as the squad posted a 14-11 mark before heading into the New England Championships at Western New England. The team finished sixth out of 15 teams and placed four athletes in the top five of their respective weight class to earn All-New England honors.

Senior co-captain Steven Mulvihill was plagued by injuries for the majority of the year, forcing Coach Amato to experiment with different combinations of wrestlers and weight classes. Still, Mulvihill posted an impressive 11-4 mark, finishing fourth in the region at 197 pounds.

Junior Ted Govola, who wrestled in the 165 and 174-pound weight classes, and Marcucio, who competed at 133 pounds, both had solid seasons as well. Govola had an

18-5 record and placed fifth in New England at 165 pounds, while Marcucio posted a 22-5 mark, finished second at New Englands, and received a wild-card to the NCAA Division III National Championships at Ohio Northern University.

Foresi, wrestling at 141 pounds, performed well in his rookie season with a 20-10 record, a second place

finish at the NECCWA Championships, and joined Marcucio as a wild-card entry to Nationals. Trinity placed 45th of 59 teams at Ohio Northern.

Foresi was named the NECCWA Freshman of the Year for his outstanding season and senior co-captain Peter Marino, who posted a 19-10 record at the 285-pound weight class, was named an Academic All-American.

Men's Swimming and Diving

After winning its first three dual meets, the 1999-2000 Trinity College men's swimming and diving team lost five of its next seven to finish 5-5, before rallying to finish 13th at the NCAA Division III New England Championships at Bowdoin College.

Trinity, coached by Amy Heasley Williams, started the year strong with a win over Colby, 164-120. The squad recorded first-place finishes in eight events en route to the victory. Sophomore Christian Sterling won the 200-yard butterfly and the 1000-yard freestyle for the Bantams.

On December 4, the team continued their success with a pair of victories. Trinity defeated UMass-Dartmouth, 93-28, and Brandeis, 76-56.

Trinity's winning streak came to a halt with three consecutive loses to Amherst, Wesleyan, and Tufts. Over Christmas break, the losing streak began with a tough 122-121 lost to Amherst in Fort Lauderdale, FL. The streak continued up north with a 108-60 loss at the hands of Wesleyan. Ruggles had the team's only first place finish in the 50-yard freestyle. The team's third loss was a 149-117 defeat at Tufts. Ruggles again won the 50-yard freestyle against the Jumbos.

On January 29, the men got back on track with a 137-77 victory over Wheaton College. The team took first place in 10 out of 13 events, and freshman Coley Dale had first-place finishes in the 50- and 500-yard freestyles.

The team started off strong in the fall semester by winning two of its first three meets. After losing its first meet to Colby 168-126, the team ran off two straight with wins over Brandeis, 82-58, and UMass-Dartmouth, 85-38. In the two wins the team had 25 first-place finishes. The squad was led by senior co-captain Carrie Rorer and junior Cory Bernard.
