San Antonio - Trinity University's
Lance Key has been named the CaptainU Fall 2013 Division
III Women's Soccer Coach of the Year.
CaptainU is a youth and college sports
network which bridges sports and technology by connecting
approximately 750,000 student-athletes. Top coaches in their
respective sports were selected for their teams' inspiring
and successful performances both on and off the field.
Coach Key and his Tiger team certainly lived up
to those high standards during the 2013 campaign. Trinity advanced
to the NCAA Division III Championship game, played in December at
San Antonio's Toyota Field. The Tigers completed the year
with a 25-1-2 record and set a school mark for victories in a
season.
The Tigers competed in their fifth straight NCAA
Tournament, and the ninth in the past 10 years. Trinity also won an
eighth Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference Championship under
Coach Key's leadership.
Coach Key was elected the SCAC Coach of the Year
for the sixth time in his 10-year tenure by his peers.
Two players - Emily Jorgens and Kelsey Falcone -
were elected to National Soccer Coaches Association of America and
D3soccer.com All-America Teams. Jorgens also was named the Capital
One Academic All-American of the Year, and received the NCAA Elite
89 Award for the highest grade point average at the semifinals and
final. Jennifer White and Shelby Guenthardt joined Jorgens on the
national Academic All-America Team.
The Tigers also received an NSCAA Team Ethics
and Sportsmanship Silver Award. The award is presented to teams
which accumulate no red cards, and a maximum of five yellow cards
during the season. Trinity drew only four cautions in 28 matches
this past season.
