Preview - Returning Home Once Again 
 
The Tigers will be back home this weekend. Friday night the Tigers will face off against Rhodes College at 5:30 PM. This matchup, the Tigers will also be hosting their senior night, where the team's seniors will be celebrated for all their dedication and hard work the past four years. The following Sunday, the Tigers will be back at it, facing off against Millsaps College at 11:00 AM. 
 
On the Rhodes Lynx: The Tigers and Lynx share a long and competitive history, having met 24 times throughout the course of their programs. The Tigers have traditionally held the upper hand, boasting an impressive 21–3 record in the series. However, as both teams head into this latest matchup, the stakes are higher than ever in the battle for conference positioning.

The Lynx currently sit atop the SAA standings with 10 points, maintaining their No. 1 ranking thanks to a strong start to the season. Close behind are the Tigers at No. 3 with 8 points, narrowly trailing Sewanee, who also hold 8 points but claim the No. 2 spot due to a higher win percentage. Every point matters as the conference race tightens, making this upcoming contest crucial for both sides. The Lynx also just received a national ranking this past week, coming in at No. 21.
Rhodes enters the match with a 10-1-2 overall record and a 3-0-1 mark in conference play. Their lone conference draw came against Sewanee,a result that mirrors the Tigers' most recent outing, a hard-fought tie against the same opponent this past weekend. The Lynx's only loss this season was delivered by national powerhouse Washington University, currently ranked No. 2 in the nation, in a decisive 3-0 contest. That defeat revealed vulnerabilities the Tigers will undoubtedly study closely, hoping to replicate Washington's success while putting their own Tiger spin on it.

Offensively, the Lynx are led by senior forward Sophia Rall and sophomore forward Maddie Carter, both of whom have found the back of the net five times this season. Their chemistry and relentless attacking presence have been key to Rhodes' success, and they remain the focal point of the Lynx offense. The Tigers' back line will need to stay organized and disciplined, focusing on limiting space for Rall and Carter to operate while cutting off their supply from the midfield.

For Trinity, this matchup represents more than just another conference game. It's a chance to prove themselves against the league's top-ranked team and reclaim momentum heading into the final stretch of the season. Beyond conference standings, the Tigers are eager to show that they can compete with and defeat a nationally recognized program, reinforcing that they are a force to be reckoned with both within the SAA and beyond. Adding to the magnitude of the night, the Tigers will also be celebrating Senior Night, honoring the dedication, leadership, and legacy of their graduating players. Emotions will be running high as the seniors take the field for one of the final times in their collegiate careers, determined to leave a lasting mark with a performance to remember.

On the Millsaps Majors: The Majors and the Tigers have faced off against each other a total of 21 times, with the Tigers emerging victorious in every single matchup. It's a streak that underscores Trinity's dominance in the series, but also one that serves as motivation for the Majors to try and rewrite the narrative. Millsaps enters the weekend with a 2-10-2 overall record and an 0-4 mark in conference play, currently sitting at the bottom of the SAA conference standings at No. 8. While their results have not been the best, the Majors have shown flashes of resilience and attacking potential that could test the Tigers if underestimated.
 
The Majors are led offensively by junior midfielder Alex Bremond, who currently leads the team with seven goals. Bremond will be a key player to look out for and shut down to prevent dangerous attacks from the Majors.
For Trinity, this matchup presents an opportunity to close out the weekend strong and maintain momentum heading into the final game of the regular season. After an emotional Senior Night against Rhodes, the Tigers will need to refocus quickly to ensure they bring the same intensity and precision to Sunday's match. With conference seeding implications still in play, every goal and every point matters. The Tigers will look to assert their identity early.For the Tigers, the goal will be simple: execute their game plan, respect their opponent, and continue to build confidence heading toward postseason play.

Looking Ahead
 
The Tigers will be at home once again for their final season home game on Nov. 1st at 5:00 PM against Southwestern University.
