Why Trinity:

• "I chose to attend Trinity for a number of reasons, but the most important by far was the academic and soccer aspects of the school. I live in Corpus Christi, which isn't too far from the campus, so of course, I would pass by when going to soccer tournaments and games in San Antonio. I would always think of how cool the campus looked and stare at the Bell Tower. It wasn't until I attended Trinity's soccer combine that I actually stepped onto the campus grounds and absorbed the campus. I saw that the campus had beautiful facilities and I really appreciated the way I was treated by the coaching staff. After meeting Coach McGinlay, I was drawn to attending Trinity and began to explore its academic opportunities and educational attributes. I realized how perfect it was for me, and knew it would be the place that would allow me to become successful in anything that I do."
