 • The Trojans are unbeaten in their last four matches, their longest such streak this season, which includes three conference matches in which they have come away with seven points.
 • The Trinity offense ranks 7th in the CCAC with 1.78 goals scored per game, and have averaged 3.75 goals over the last four matches, including a pair of five-goal outbursts against St. Xavier and Purdue-Calumet.
 • Defensively, the Trojans hold a 0.95 goals against average to lead the CCAC
 • Trinity is coming off three straight seasons with 13 or more wins, and two consecutive appearances in the NAIA Women's Soccer Championship.

Last Time Out    
 • A first-half goal for Trinity International nearly stood up, but a late strike near the end of regulation led to a 1-1 draw on Homecoming Saturday between the Trojans and the visiting St. Francis Saints.
 • The Trojans outshot the Saints by a 14-9 margin throughout the match, but of the six shots on goal, came away with the single tally. Morgan Elzinga collected her team-leading fifth goal of the year in the 32nd minute to give Trinity the 1-0 edge.
 • With less than 15 minutes to play in regulation, St. Francis found the equalizer, off the foot of USF's Leslie Rueda. The Trojans took a pair of shots in the closing minutes, but Isabelle Danner's attempt was blocked, and Samantha Yastan missed wide.

In the Polls    
 • The Trojans are currently unranked, but Trinity earned its highest ranking in eight years, coming in at No. 17 in the NAIA Women's Soccer Preseason Coaches Top 25 Poll last month.
 • Trinity improved six spots from their No. 23 ranking in the final 2014 poll, and have earned the program's highest ranking since the 2007 preseason poll, when the Trojans were selected No. 14. That season, TIU finished with an 11-8-2 overall record, reaching the NCCAA North Central Regional Final.
 • TIU's appearance in the preseason poll also marks the fourth straight season that the Trojans have been nationally ranked at some point during the year.
 • TIU has been ranked in the Preseason Poll eight times in program history, since the poll began in 1999. (2000-2002, 2007, 2012-15)

Last Meeting with JU & CSU    
 • Junior Samantha Yasatan found the back of the net for the sixth consecutive game, earning her team a point in the opening match of the CCAC season, as the No. 25 Trojans earned a 1-1 draw on the road at Judson on Sept. 23. 
• The Eagles had taken a one-goal lead early in the second half, before Yasatan picked up her ninth goal of the season to tie the match in the 78th minute.
 • Against Cardinal Stritch, Morgan Elzinga provided the only offense for Trinity International, but it proved to be enough as the Trojans advanced in the 2014 CCAC Tournament Quarterfinal with a 1-0 win over Cardinal Stritch on Nov. 8.

Scouting the Opponents    
Judson
 • The Eagles have just three wins on the year, but are coming off a 1-0 home victory over St. Xavier last weekend. Judson will be looking for their first victory away from home when they come to Deerfield.

 • Trinity holds an 8-3-2 mark against Judson dating back to 2007.

Cardinal Stritch
