San Antonio - Trinity's football team finished off its regular season schedule with a 41-0 Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference victory over Austin College on Saturday afternoon.

After a slow start to the game, the Tigers exploded with 31 points in the second half to finish off the win.  The two teams were scoreless in the first quarter, but Trinity got on the board with a 33-yard touchdown pass from Mason Blaschke to Jeremy Simmons.

Simmons finished the game with three total touchdowns, rushing for 161 yards on 19 carries, and catching two passes for 35 total yards.  He scored both of his scores on the ground in the third quarter to account for both of Trinity's touchdowns.  Simmons nabbed scores of 27 and 60 yards, and the Tigers led 24-0 at the end of the quarter.

Early in the fourth, Adam Saunders returned an interception 46 yards for a touchdown, followed by a score by Desmond King with 6:32 remaining.  Payton Kisor added field goals in the second and fourth quarters. 

Trinity's defense got its first shutout since last season against Southwestern, and for just the second time since the 2009 season.  The Austin offense was held to just 164 yards of offense in the game, which included 64 yards rushing.  The Tigers have held each of their last two opponents to less than 100 yards rushing, as well as connecting on all three extra-point attempts.

Julian Turner led the defense with 12 total tackles, as well as 1.5 tackles for loss.  Brad Hood had 10 tackles that included six solo stops.  

Trinity finishes off its season with a 4-6 overall record, winning three of the last four games.  Today's win marked the team's best scoring output of the season for the Tigers.
