Trinity Captures Sixth Straight SCAC Presidents' Trophy

LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga. -- After earning championships in four of the league's eight spring sports, the 2016-17 SCAC Presidents' Trophy will remain in San Antonio as Trinity University captured its sixth consecutive all-sports title. 

It is the program's conference-record 17th all-sports title. 

The Texas Tigers collected titles in men's and women's tennis, as well as women's golf and women's track and field, to assure that the 300-pound railroad bell signifying conference supremacy stays in San Antonio for another year.

For the 2016-17 season, Trinity won 10 of the league's 18 championships, adding to its men's and women's swimming and diving and women's basketball titles from the winter and its men's and women's soccer and volleyball titles from the fall.

Trinity finished with 547.5 points in this year's Presidents' Trophy race, 125 points clear of second-place Southwestern University. The Pirates, who finished with 422.5 points and posted the institution's highest finish in the all-sports trophy since the 2013-14 academic year, captured the men's golf championship this spring to add to its football championship from the fall season.
