SAN ANTONIO, Texas – Trinity University
Tigers fourth-year head softball coach Nicole Smith has submitted
her resignation. Director of Athletics Bob King said a national
search for a new coach will begin immediately.
Coach Smith amassed a record of 70-70 at the Tigers helm. She
guided Trinity to a Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference
Championship (2007), and to an NCAA Division III playoff berth the
same year.
Last season, the Tigers went 16-22 overall, and 7-7 in the SCAC
regular season. Trinity had a 2-2 record at last month’s SCAC
Championship Tournament at Conway, Ark.
The former Nicole Dickson was a standout player for the Tiger team
from 1997 through 2000. The talented infielder was elected to the
All-SCAC First Team in 1999 and 2000, as well as the All-Region
Second Team in 2000. As team captain, she helped lead the Tigers to
two back-to-back SCAC titles in 1999 and 2000. Trinity also made
its first-ever NCAA Division III tournament appearance, in 2000.
