LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga. - Trinity University hosted second-ranked Mary Hardin-Baylor. The Cru, however, proved too much as UMHB powered its way to a 49-28 win on Saturday. Austin College came up short in a 31-10 loss to visiting Sewanee.
AROUND THE SCAC

Trinity lost its second consecutive game on
Saturday, falling to #2 Mary Hardin-Baylor 49-28, and dropping its
record to 2-2 this season. The loss is Trinity’s first
regular season home loss since 2010, and the first regular season
loss in the series against UMHB. The Tigers fell behind 21-0 after
the first quarter, as the offense had a turnover on downs and a
fumble in its first two possessions, and the defense gave up two
drives over 65 yards. Trinity got on the board early in the second
with its own touchdown, cutting the lead to 21-7, but the Tigers
would get no closer the rest of the way. Trinity did get its first
interception return for a touchdown since the season opener against
Howard Payne last season. The Tigers will host Rhodes this week,
which will be the 30th meeting in that series. Trinity holds a
17-12 edge in the series, with 16 of those wins coming in the last
19 meetings. The Tigers won 62-7 in Memphis last season.
