Last week Trinity Christian College decided to close at the end of the school year. Although it's been an emotional week, I am so grateful for my time here, the community I have been able to grow in, and my team. I know God has a plan for my team, our community, and myself✝️🧌🫶

[Matt Lisle @CoachLisle]

Athletes remember this.
Today.
On the field.
Passion trumps logic.
No matter what the stats may say..when the game starts, all bets are off.

Young female coaches. We need more of you! On the sidelines & in the gym. We/You are more than a recruiter. Don’t let anyone tell you your collegiate playing experience isn’t meaningful. Work hard, pay your dues & then claim your space on the hardwood.

[Laura Matthews @LauraMatthews12]

How can you not love college softball?

[A.J. Andrews @aj_andrews_]

I swear you can’t script these WCWS games any better! onto the 8th inning. If you’re not watching, baby you better grab that remote!

HOW CAN YOU NOT BE EMOTIONAL ABOUT SPORTS?

Currently at the D3 College World Series...

I don't want to hear another person say they are too good for D3.

Studs everywhere!

"AN UNDERDOG IS STILL A FREAKIN DAWG." 😤

[Sydney Supple @Sydney_Supple]

Delainey Everett just had the quote of the post season, “an underdog is still a DAWG!”

Everett’s first complete game of her career was handing Oklahoma’s first shutout since 2019.

She did it on her parent’s wedding anniversary in honor of her father who passed away last year. Sports are special.🥹

[Rhiannon Potkey @RPotkey]

This is what it’s all about. Pinch hitter Katie Hoffman with a two-run single for @SDCoyotesSB to tie the game 4-4 in the 7th.

The emotion from her and the coach saying “I’m so proud of you.”
