Seguin, Texas - Trinity's women's soccer
team reached the Championship match of the Southern Collegiate
Athletic Conference Tournament with a 7-0 shutout of the University
of Dallas on Saturday afternoon.
The Tigers improved to 20-0-1 on the season with the win, which
puts the team into the final for the third consecutive season.
Emily Jorgens enjoyed a record-breaking night in the game,
dishing out a school-record five assists for the Tigers. She
assisted on each of the first four goals scored by Trinity in the
first half, then picked up another in the second half to break the
school record.
With the five points, Jorgens also breaks the Trinity record for
points in a single season with a total of 61 so far in 2013.
She also tied the Tiger career mark for assists with the 58th
of her career, drawing even with Erica Adelstein (1999-02).
This season, Jorgens has recorded 27 total assists to extend the
school record she broke recently, and she is nearing the NCAA
Division III record of 30 for a single season.
Kelsey Falcone also picked up a hat trick in the game, which was
the second time in her career that she has scored three goals in a
game. She knocked in the eventual game-winner in the ninth
minute, then picked up her second less than four minutes later.
Falcone also added another to start off the second half of
play. She also assisted on Trinity's third goal in the 16th
minute, giving her seven total points in the game.
Shelby Guenthardt scored the final goal of the first half for
the Tigers, putting Trinity up 5-0 by halftime. Guenthardt
becomes the fourth player in school history to score 50 or more
goals in a career.

Sparks also gave an assist for the Tigers.
