Coach of the Year Honors

Ed Mighten, who guided the Trinity men's soccer squad to a best-ever 13-4 record and to the finals of the ECAC Division III Championship tourney, has been named the 1999 New England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC) Coach of the Year.

Mighten, in his 10th season, has posted a 31-17-2 record in the past three seasons with two trips to the ECAC finals and the College's only bid to the NCAA Division III Championship tourney.

Men's Soccer

The 1999 Trinity College men's soccer team continued to build on the success of recent years, advancing to the finals of the ECAC Division III New England Championship. Head Coach Ed Mighten (10th season) and the Bantams completed arguably the best season in Trinity soccer history, totaling a College record 13 wins vs. just four losses. Trinity has now reached the ECAC finals in two consecutive seasons, and, with an NCAA Division III bid in 1997, has made three straight postseason appearances.

The season began with a 2-0 win over defending ECAC Division III Metro Champion Coast Guard Academy, avenging two losses in 1998. Freshman back Phil Flakes made his presence known early, scoring his first career goal.

Trinity followed with a surprisingly-tough 1-0 win at Albertus Magnus College. Junior midfielder Caley Iandorio scored from classmate Mickey Chambers in the 79th minute for the win.

The Bantams opened the NESCAC season against Connecticut College and scored two goals in the final seven minutes for a 2-1 comeback win. Freshman forward Morgan Sandell and senior forward Mike Wilson scored for Trinity.

Trinity notched its fourth straight win at Salve Regina on Sept. 22. Sandell and junior forward Brett MacQuarrie scored for the Bantams, while junior goalie Tom Hambrick-Stowe made three saves in his third shutout of the fall.

Wesleyan ended the Bantam winning streak, 1-0, scoring the game's only goal in the opening minute. Trinity lost again against Williams, 4-2, and yet again, 2-0, at Amherst to finish the first half of the season at 4-3.

NCAA-bound Vassar provided the cure for Trinity on Oct. 9. The Bantams erupted for five goals, including three by Sandell, and Hambrick-Stowe posted his fourth shutout, setting a new College record with 10 in his career.

Wilson and sophomore forward Peter Zoppi scored a pair of goals each in the next game, as Trinity pounded Eastern Connecticut, 6-0.

Trinity returned to league play at Tufts on Oct. 16 and eked out a 2-1 win in overtime. MacQuarrie scored both Trinity goals.

At 7-3, Trinity crept up the NSCAA Division III New England rankings to seventh with four games to play. Bowdoin visited Hartford at 6-3-1 and Trinity scored two second half goals for a 2-1 triumph. Senior tri-captain midfielder Dan Rudolph tied the score at 1-1 with 24:12 left in the game and Wilson scored the gamewinner with 6:53 remaining.

Trinity posted its fifth consecutive win and perhaps its most impressive, downing the previously unbeaten Middlebury Panthers, 1-0 on the road. Wilson scored the deciding goal once again and Hambrick-Stowe combined with Flakes, senior Kosuke Ikeda, junior David Pimentel, and sophomore Kamali Davis to hold Middlebury scoreless.

With nine wins in 12 games, Trinity had tied the College's season win record for the third straight year. The Bantams hoped to break the record at home against Western Connecticut on Nov. 3, and did so on yet another gamewinning goal by Wilson. Ikeda assisted Wilson in the 77th minute, while Hambrick-Stowe turned away 11 shots.

In the regular season finale, the Bantams routed Stevens Tech, 9-0. Zoppi recorded a hat trick, freshman forward Stuart Poole scored twice, and senior midfielder Eric Scata put in his only goal of the fall in the victory.

Trinity finished the regular season at 11-3, tied for second with Middlebury and Amherst in the New England poll, and hoped to receive an at-large bid to the NCAA Division III tourney. The Bantams were let down, however, as the NCAA selected only automatic qualifier, Williams, to the field.

Trinity was further disappointed when the ECAC Division III committee selected Middlebury and Amherst as its top two seeds.

The #3 Bantams hosted #6 Plymouth State in the ECAC quarterfinal round and shut out the visiting Panthers, 2-0. Sandell opened the scoring with a goal in the 16th minute on a header from Iandorio, and MacQuarrie scored 18 minutes later from Zoppi. Hambrick-Stowe stymied three Plymouth State scoring attempts.

The Bantams traveled to Middlebury for the second time in two weeks, facing Amherst in the semifinal. After spotting the Jeffs a 2-0 lead with 31:41 remaining in the game, Trinity scored two second half goals to force the extra frame.

Sandell and MacQuarrie, both Cohasset, MA, natives, provided the Bantam goals on assists from Iandorio and Rudolph. In the overtime, Rudolph scored on a penalty kick with four minutes left to give Trinity the win and a date with top-seeded Middlebury in the finals.

The host Panthers jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first half, before junior midfielder Peter Trimble got Trinity on the scoreboard with his first goal of the fall. Middlebury added a third goal with 19:33 left in the game to send Trinity home as ECAC runners-up for the second year in a row.

With a 13-4 final record, the Bantams and NESCAC Coach of the Year Mighten enjoyed their best season in recent memory. If not for a perfect 8-0 season in 1956, which saw Trinity voted the "outstanding college soccer team" in the country, the 1999 unit might be considered the best-ever Bantams on the soccer field.

Football

The 1999 Trinity College football team rebounded from its first losing season in 18 years, as first-year Head Coach Bill Decker began his first season at the helm. Decker took over for Don Miller, who retired as the College's and New England's winningest Division III football coach. After finishing with just two wins last season, Decker and the new-look Bantams quieted all doubters with an impressive 5-3 record.

On Sept. 25, the Bantams traveled to Waterville, ME, to face the White Mules of Colby College. On a beautiful, fall afternoon, Trinity sent a message to the rest of the league, pounding Colby, 35-3.

The Bants had trouble scoring until midway through the second quarter when junior linebacker Trevor Jackson blocked a Colby punt. Junior cornerback Charles Botts recovered the loose ball and returned it 19 yards for the first Trinity touchdown of the year. Senior quarterback Gregg Wysocki found classmate Mike Healey on a 54-yard touchdown reception and scrambled 15 yards for another Trinity touchdown to make the score, 21-3, in the fourth quarter.

Sensational sophomore safety Steve Cella put the game away, picking off one of two interceptions of the day, and running it back for a Trinity touchdown. Sophomore tailback Julian Gratry recorded his first career touchdown late in the fourth quarter to make the final tally, 35-3.

The Trinity defense was solid throughout the contest, allowing just 102 passing yards and forcing four turnovers. Senior linebackers Jeff Iudice and Brian LaHaie combined for 19 stops, with three of LaHaie's resulting in a loss.

The next week, Trinity hosted the league's best team in Williams College. In a game of missed opportunities, Trinity battled hard but was unable to capitalize on good field position several times. Williams blanked the Bantams, 17-0, although Iudice (14 tackles) and LaHaie (13 tackles and 2 sacks) once again led a quality defensive effort.

On Oct. 16, visiting Hamilton College gave the Bantams perhaps their most exciting game of the season. Trinity trailed early and needed some late fourth-quarter heroics to gain the victory over the pesky Continentals.

After Hamilton jumped out to a 10-3 halftime lead, Wysocki found senior wide receiver Sean Furey in the end zone for a two-yard touchdown pass. Hamilton recaptured the lead, but Trinity rallied once again when Wysocki connected with freshman tight end Lewis Usher on a 28-yard scoring strike. Cella intercepted a Hamilton pass on the next drive and Wysocki found Usher again on a 56-yard touchdown three plays later to give the Bantams the lead for good, 24-17.

In the game, freshman tailback Brian Fabrizio gained 139 yards on 26 carries in his first start, while senior co-captain defensive back Sean Joyce enjoyed one of his best games of the fall with nine stops (two for losses).

The next week, Trinity visited Tufts University and faced an undefeated Jumbo team. Fabrizio started the Bantam attack with a 2-yard plunge into the end zone in the first quarter. In the third quarter, Fabrizio beat the Jumbos with his arm, hitting Healey on a 5-yard touchdown pass.

Fabrizio finished with 126 yards on 22 carries (5.7 avg.) His performance earned him the honor of NESCAC Rookie of the Week. Wysocki also played well, throwing for 250 yards, including six to freshman receiver Kevin Waters for 76 yards.

The Bantam defensive was impenetrable for the first three and a half quarters of the contest, before surrendering a late touchdown. Cella notched two more interceptions giving him four consecutive games with a pick. Iudice and LaHaie combined for 18 tackles.

Trinity displayed its most dominating performance of the year on Oct. 23 against Bowdoin College to improve to 4-1 with a 26-0 triumph.

Midway through the first quarter, Joyce stepped in front of a Bowdoin pass attempt and darted 24-yards for a touchdown. Wysocki found Waters in the end zone and Fabrizio broke free on a run to give Trinity a 19-0 lead at the half.

Offensively, Gratry rushed for a career-high 71 yards on eight carries, but the Bantam defense controlled the game. Iudice collected a career-high 18 tackles, three for a loss, one forced fumble, two and a half sacks, and an interception. Cella, senior cornerback Doug Borgerson, and senior linebacker Dale Phelps also intercepted passes. The under-appreciated defensive line of senior tackle Blue Eaves, junior tackle Mike Leone, and senior end Nate Barad pressured the Bowdoin quarterback into several mistakes.

In the ECAC Game of the Week on NESN, Trinity nearly pushed its record to 5-1, but fell short at Middlebury College. Trinity staked Middlebury a 14-0 lead, but refused to go quietly. Freshman kicker Skip Sullivan booted a 39-yard field to close out the first half.

Five minutes into the second half, Wysocki aired a 56-yard bomb to the versatile Cella, bringing the Bants within four,14-10.

Despite a career day from Fabrizio (157 rushing yards), Trinity would get no closer. The coaching staff devised an excellent scheme to keep the NESCAC's most prolific running back, Bryan Sanchez, in check with just 76 yards on 25 rushes. Eaves played a large part, collecting a season-high eight tackles.

Trinity was back on the road the following week against Amherst, and was beaten decisively, 27-0. The Bantams failed to get going offensively, although Fabrizio gained 61 yards on just 14 carries.

Trinity did have some solid defensive efforts in the game. Iudice and LaHaie combined for 32 tackles, nine for losses, and two sacks, while Leone corralled a career-high eight ball carriers.

On Homecoming Weekend the football field and stadium was renamed Jessee/Miller Field in honor of two legendary coaches (Dan Jessee and Don Miller). On an emotional day, the Bants came to play against a tough Wesleyan opponent.

Fabrizio ended his impressive rookie season with his best performance of the fall, gaining 223 all-purpose yards and scoring a pair of touchdowns.

Sullivan tied a College record with a 48-yard field goal to give Trinity a 9-6 halftime lead. The third quarter belonged to Wysocki, who threw two touchdown passes and gave Trinity a 23-12 lead going into the final quarter. Wysocki hooked up with Furey for his first touchdown strike, and found Fabrizio open on a screen pass for a 65-yard score. Sullivan provided the finishing touch with another field goal and Trinity prevailed, 26-12.

The Trinity defense hounded Wesleyan quarterback Jay Fay, sacking the All-NESCAC thrower seven times. Fay, who never found a rhythm, was intercepted by Cella on two occasions.

The first pick tied a College and NESCAC record for interceptions in a season, and, on an acrobatic interception late in the game, he broke both records with his ninth.

Trinity finished the 1999 campaign with its 19th winning season in 20 years. Despite the impending graduation of 19 seniors, the Bantams will have a host of returning talent in the year 2000.

Women's Tennis

With the return of several experienced players, the Trinity College women's tennis squad cruised to an eighth consecutive winning season. Under the leadership of Head Coach Wendy Bartlett (16th season) and senior tri-captains Caroline Hughes, Erica Johnson, and Heidi Polsen, the Bantams finished with an impressive 7-3 mark.

Despite an inauspicious start, Trinity has remained among the elite tennis programs in New England. The team dropped its first two decisions to NESCAC rivals Williams and Amherst, before ripping off seven victories in eight matches.

Needing a win to generate some momentum, the Bantams visited perennial nemesis Wesleyan. Freshman Courtney Sargeant, junior Olga Bogatyrenko, Johnson, and Hughes won their singles matches to gain an early lead, but the teamwork of Johnson and Hughes secured the victory. The doubles tandem picked up a crucial win to give Trinity a 5-4 triumph.

The middle of the season saw the Bantams dominate their opponents, winning five straight five matches by a combined score of 44-5 over Brandeis, Hartford, Connecticut, Vassar, and Smith. Trinity discovered a young star in Sargeant, who was a perfect 5-0 in the lopsided contests.

On Oct. 9, the Bantams traveled to Tufts with high expectations but were pushed aside in a hard-fought match, 5-4. The squad took two of three doubles matches, but dropped four out of six in singles play. Polsen and Bogatyrenko were the only Bantams to salvage victories in singles play.

The Bants refused to be denied in their final contest, at home against Division I Holy Cross. Strong play on all fronts helped propel the squad to a 9-0 victory. Sophomore Becky Mate won 6-0, 6-0 in her best match to lead Trinity to its third defeat of a Division I opponent and a 7-3 dual record.

Trinity rounded out the fall season at MIT for the 1999 New England Women's Intercollegiate Tennis Tournament. The Bantams displayed their best tennis in the tourney in 15 seasons, as the team placed third behind Williams and Amherst. Sargeant was the runner-up in the No. 2 singles flight, while Polsen and Bogatyrenko were the No. 2 doubles runners-up. Polsen also had a impressive run at the No. 4 singles title before losing in the semi finals.

Newcomers Bogatyrenko, a transfer from Ukraine, and Stewart each finished the season with a team-best 13-4 singles record. Hughes and Johnson finished with winning seasons, while Polsen was 9-4, pushing her career record to an impressive 31-9. The Bantams will lose three solid seniors, but Stewart, Bogatyrenko, and Mate, should lead the squad to another winning season in 2000.

Men's Cross Country

The 1999 season proved to be another successful one for the Trinity men's cross country squad. Under the direction of Head Coach George Suitor, the team finished eighth at the NCAA Division III New England Championships and posted a 77-31 record.

Trinity opened the season with a tri-meet against Connecticut College and Wesleyan University in New London. Junior Todd Markelz (27:51) crossed the line first, while freshmen Ryan Bak and Jim Emord came in second (28:11) and fourth (28:26) respectively, to lead the Bantams to first place.

At UMass-Dartmouth, Trinity finished second as a team and Markelz placed second overall with a time of 25:34.

Traveling to Rhode Island College, the Bantams won their second meet in three tries. Trinity had five top-ten finishers, including Markelz (26:07), Bak (26:26), freshman Ryan Lerner (26:44), senior co-captain David Kyle (26:45) and Emord (26:51).

In their only home meet of the season, the Bants continued their winning ways with another first-place finish. Again Markelz claimed the top spot at 26:21.

In the New England Division I Championships in Boston, Trinity placed 20th led by Bak, (25:48) who came in 65th.

The next week at Hamilton College, the Bantams competed in the NESCAC Championships. Markelz (26:46) and Bak (27:29) finished 10th and 23rd respectively to lead the team to a fourth-place finish.

Next in line for Trinity was a return to UMass-Dartmouth for the New England Division III Championships. Trinity College ran a terrific race, finishing eighth and placing three runners in the top fifty. Leading the way in 10th place was Markelz (25:07), followed by Emord (25:39) at 31st and Bak (25:52).

Markelz earned a trip to the NCAA Division III Championships at Wisconsin-Oshkosh for his outstanding performance. He finished 112th with a time of 25:20.3 on Nov. 20.

Overall the Bantams squad had a very successful year and are looking forward to bettering their eighth-place performance at New Englands in 2000.

Volleyball

Despite fielding a young squad just one senior, the Trinity College volleyball team finished the 1999 season with a fine 18-15 record. In Head Coach Fran Vandermeer's fourth season, the team finished sixth in the New England Small College Athletic Conference Championships, which Trinity hosted for the first time in the program's history.

The Bantams started the season strong, posting 3-1 victories over Rutgers-Newark and Williams, but lost to Middlebury, 3-0, en route to a third place finish at the Williams College Invitational. Trinity's 3-1 win against the Williams Ephs was the first in the program's 18-year history.

Following a 3-1 loss to Eastern Connecticut, Trinity rebounded to win three matches in a row, defeating Southern Connecticut, Stonehill, and St. Joseph.

For her outstanding play during the winning streak, sophomore Kristin Hagan was named Co-NESCAC Player of the Week. She led the team with a total of 48 kills and 55 digs over the six games played.

The MIT Invitational promised some tough competition the next weekend, and the Bantams won just one of four matches, 3-0, over Gordon.

After losing a close match to Wesleyan, Trinity defeated Keene State, Smith, and St. Joseph before falling to Amherst.

At the Eastern Connecticut Invitational on Oct. 8-9, the Bantams struggled, placing fifth out of eight teams with a 1-3 performance. However, sophomore Molly Roach was a bright spot, earning All-Tournament honors.

The Bantams wrapped up the regular season winning five of eight matches at the NESCAC Quad and the Coast Guard Invitational.

Following a tough 3-2 loss to Western Connecticut, the Bants entered the 10th Annual NESCAC Championship Tournament, which was held at Trinity's own Ferris Athletic Center, seeded seventh.

In the opening round, Trinity squeaked by Hamilton, 3-2, but was blanked by second-seeded Bates later that night. The following day brought two key wins over Tufts and sixth-ranked Colby, but Trinity was handed a 3-1 loss by Wesleyan in the fifth-place match.

Senior captain Harleigh Leach was named to the All-Tournament Team for her fine play over the weekend. Sophomore Beth Landry was named to the All-NESCAC Second Team, which was selceted at the Championships, finishing with a team-high 296 kills and 298 digs.

With the return of Landry, Roach, junior Megan Konieczny, and freshmen Christine Horton and Isabelle Krusen, Vandermeer looks to have another strong season in 2000.

Women's Soccer

The Trinity College women's soccer team battled a year of injuries en route to a 4-8-1 record in 1999 under third-year Head Coach Mike Smith. Senior tri-captains Caitlin Burke, Katie Fleming, and Joanna Padden all missed action due to injury. Numerous players, including sophomore forwards Kerry Hood and Bridget Dullea, and a young Bantam defense, stepped in and led the charge throughout the season.

The team got off to a rough start with losses in its first three games. Trinity lost a hard-fought opener to Eastern Connecticut, 2-1, despite a late comeback attempt on a late goal by junior forward Jessica Ritter.

The team then traveled to Massachusetts to take on an Amherst squad that was ranked 24th in the nation. Freshman goalkeeper Sarah Bradley made 17 saves, but her effort was not enough as the team again lost, 2-1.

After a 2-0 loss at Connecticut College, Trinity picked up its first victory at Bates, 1-0. Junior midfielder Marisa Eddy scored the gamewinning goal. Just five days later, the Bantams carried the momentum into their match against Salve Regina and won, 4-0. In the triumph, Hood recorded a hat trick.

Next, Trinity hosted Williams College, which came into the contest undefeated and ranked seventh in the nation. The Bantams played arguably their best soccer of the year against Williams, holding the Purple Cows scoreless for 87:30 until Williams senior Jill Caterer scored the gamewinner. Trinity got a great effort from Bradley, who had 11 saves, and the defensive unit of Fleming, Padden, sophomore Anna Sullivan, and freshman Meg Roscio.

After a 0-0 tie against Smith College, the Bantams hosted Colby and got back on track with a shutout victory. Trinity won, 2-0, as Bradley made 15 saves en route to her fourth shutout of the fall. Hood scored the gamewinner at the 24:25 mark and Dullea added an insurance goal for the Bantams.

In the midst of a solid 2-1-1 stretch, Trinity dropped three straight matches to Tufts, Western Connecticut, and Bowdoin. The Bantams ran into a hot Tufts team that had won its last three games, althoughTrinity scored first on a goal by by Dullea.

Next, the Bantams hosted undefeated Western Connecticut. Trinity managed to play the first half to a scoreless tie, but an early second-half goal by the Colonials was too much to overcome. The third loss in the slide came at the hand of the Bowdoin Polar Bears by the score of 6-2. Ritter and Padden scored for the Bantams in a losing effort.

On Oct. 26, Trinity broke its losing streak with a 1-0 victory over NESCAC rival Wesleyan University. Dullea scored the only goal at 35:30 on a pass from freshman Courtney Stewart. Bradley made nine saves and recorded her fifth shutout of the year.

In the season finale, Trinity traveled to Vermont to take on Middlebury College. Middlebury won, 4-0, ending the Bantam season on a sour note.

Field Hockey

The Trinity College field hockey team finished 4-10 in1999, under first-year Head Coach Kara Tierney. Tierney replaced legendary mentor Robin Sheppard after three seasons as head coach at Franklin & Marshall College. Sheppard retired from coaching after an impressive 242-67-13 record over 24 years.

The 1999 team, which featured senior captain Katie Reig, senior forward Katie Watts, and senior goalkeeper Melissa Church, looked forward to starting a new era despite the loss of 10 graduated seniors from last fall's NCAA Final Four squad.

Trinity struggled through the first half of the campaign with six straight losses to open the season. The first was a 2-1 overtime defeat to Clark University in the opener, followed by defeats against Amherst, Bates, Springfield, Williams, and Connecticut College.

After playing three of their first five games away from home, the Bantams returned to Hartford for three home contests. The team notched its first win against Colby and the success continued with victories over Southern Connecticut, and Smith College.

The Bantams stood at 3-6 through their first nine games and collected their fourth and final win over Keene State, 3-0, on Oct. 26.

In Tierney's first victory as head coach, 2-1 over Colby, junior Whitney Brown led the way for the Bantams with a goal and an assist. Sophomore forward Heather Standring also scored for Trinity. Trinity sophomore goalkeeper Jessica Martin was nearly flawless, saving 19 out of 20 shots on goal.

The Bantams went on to defeat Southern Connecticut two days later, 3-0. Brown dominated play throughout the triumph. With 22 minutes remaining in the first half, Brown scored two goals, while Standring notched a goal and an assist. Martin turned away nine shots to record her first shutout, and Watts recorded a pair of assists.

In the third game of the squad's midseason winning streak, Trinity hosted Smith College. The Bantams dominated the game led by junior midfielder Mary Jacobs with a goal and two assists. Brown had a goal and an assist and Martin had nine saves in the 3-0 shutout.

After three consecutive wins, the Bantams traveled to Medford, MA, to take on league rival Tufts University. In a hard fought overtime thriller, the Trinity squad lost, 3-2. Brown tied the game with just 7:47 remaining in regulation, but Tufts won on penalty strokes after a scoreless extra frame. Freshman forward Lindsay Peet scored the first goal for Trinity.

The Bantams returned to Hartford to take on the powerful Bowdoin Polar Bears. The 9-1 and nationally-ranked Polar Bears downed the Bantams, 3-0, despite 26 saves by Martin.

Trinity showed its resolve and determination by defeating Keene State, 3-0, just three days later. In the victory, Brown, Rieg, and freshman back Maria Lingnau led the way for the Bantams with a goal each. Standring, Brown, and freshman midfielder Laura Davis gathered assists in the win. Jacobs also turned in a solid effort.

To close out the season, Trinity visited the Wesleyan Cardinals and the Middlebury Panthers. Against Wesleyan, the Bantams suffered another heartbreaking overtime loss, 1-0. The defeat was the Bantams third overtime loss of the season and the frustration carried over into a season-ending 4-0 loss at Middlebury.

Despite of a 4-10 final record, Martin established a College-record for saves (187), breaking the previous College mark of 180 set by Louis van de Does in 1987. Rieg was selected to play in the National Field Hockey Coaches' Association Division III Senior All-Star game at Northeastern University and combined with classmates Watts and Church to compile an impressive 42-18 overall record in their four years.

Women's Cross Country

The 1999 Trinity College women's cross country team continued a string of highly successful campaigns under Head Coach George Suitor.

The Bantams faced the unenviable task of replacing graduated harriers Yolanda Flamino and Thania Benios, both of whom received All-American honors in 1998. Led by junior captain Kara Barbalunga, the team was anxious to rebuild and establish itself as a force in New England.

Trinity opened its season with a second-place finish out of three teams at a tri-meet with Connecticut College and Wesleyan in New London. The team boasted three top-10 finishers, including freshman Leeann Rheaume, who came in third with a time of 21:01.

Trinity finished ninth at the UMass-Dartmouth Invitational, as sophomore Caroline Leary placed a team-high 10th with a time of 19:06.

In the Ray Dwyer Invitational at Rhode Island College, Trinity managed another solid performance to finish fourth. Leary was again Trinity's top finisher at fourth with a time of 19:44. Barbalunga placed 12th at 20:25.

Trinity then hosted the Bantam Invitational at Wickham Park. The Bantams finished second as a unit and posted four top-10 finishers. Rheaume and Leary finished second and third with times of 20:15 and 20:22, respectively.

After a 20th-place finish at the New England Collegiate Conference meet, the Bantams came in a disappointing 11th in the NESCAC Championships at Hamilton.

Trinity rebounded in the ECAC Championships, as Rheaume finished 11th with a time of 19:53 to lead the team to a sixth place showing.

At the New England Division III Championships back at UMass-Dartmouth, Trinity ended the the fall with a17th-place finish. The Bantams were again paced by Leary, who placed 48th with a time of 19:03. The young Bantams are eager to improve in 2000.

Golf

The Trinity College golf team, under the direction of Head Coach Bill Detrick, finished its fall season with an 18th place finish at the New England Intercollegiate Golf Association Championships in Cape Cod, MA.

The season began with the Williams College Invitational, where sophomore David Magid and junior captain Keith Jendza finished 51st and 52nd, respectively, in a field of 103 golfers. Magid shot a 165, while Jendza followed right behind with a two-day score of 166. Freshman Robert Higginbotham tied three players with a score of 170 to finish in 67th place.

The next weekend, Magid shot a 75, earning fourth place individually to lead the Bantams to a 10th-place finish overall in the New England Small College Athletic Conference Tournament at Williams. Freshman Jon Martis placed 33rd for Trinity with a score of 83. The Bantams finished with a combined team score of 669, 68 shots behind first-place Skidmore.

Trinity ended the season with an 18th-place finish out of 22 Division III teams at the NEIGA Championships, where Jendza shot a team-best 79 to tie for 25th individually. Magid and Martis both shot an 84 to finish tied with several others in 59th place.
