Trinity head coach PAUL MCGINLAY was named SCAC Coach-of-the-Year.

In his 26th season as head coach of the Tigers, McGinlay has led Trinity to a 22-1 overall mark which includes victories over Whitworth (3-0) and Chapman (2-0) in the first two rounds of the 2016 NCAA Division III Championship. Trinity will now make its fifth consecutive trip – and 15th overall – to the Sweet Sixteen round where the Tigers will face off against Kenyon College. Since becoming head coach in 1991, McGinlay has amassed an overall record of 459-73-29, for a winning percentage of .844. He is one of the winningest active soccer coaches in the nation, by percentage, in all NCAA Divisions, and Trinity has competed in the NCAA Tournament for 15 straight years, and 20 of the last 21. The Tigers won the SCAC Championship for the 19th time with the team’s dramatic come-from-behind, 2-1 double overtime victory, against Colorado College two weekend’s ago. In his time in the SCAC, Trinity has amassed a regular season conference mark of 215-13-8 (.928), and McGinlay has been honored as SCAC Coach of the Year 14 times, including this year’s honor. No head coach in any sport in SCAC history has more COTY awards than McGinlay.

McGinlay received four votes from his peers in the COTY voting while Austin College’s Mark Hudson and Colorado College’s Scott Palguta received two votes each.
