Nov. 21 - Trinity International University is proud to announce Jenna Sippel as its Interim Women's Softball Coach.
 
Sippel graduated from Trinity International two years ago with a degree in Sports Wellness and Management.  Last year she was a part of the team as a graduate assistant and is still working towards her MA in Counseling and Psychology.  As an undergrad Sippel was a 1st Team NCCAA All-American and led the Lady Trojans to a fourth place finish in the NCCAA Tournament her senior year.  Other awards she collected while at Trinity include a nomination to the NAIA All-Region Team, the CCAC All-Conference Team, and the CCAC All-Tournament Team.

When asked about joining the Lady Trojans as their new interim coach, Sippel remarked, "I am looking forward to a new beginning with this program.  The numbers at this point are low but I just see that as a program that can be developed.  This team has gone through a lot and so I have no doubt they can handle any challenge that comes their way.  I am very confident and excited about this upcoming season."

As a former student athlete at TIU, Sippel has had an inside look at what it means to be a part of one of its athletic programs.  Sippel had this to say about the institution, "Trinity is highly devoted to its students and the Athletic Department is no different.  I can honestly say that playing here changed my life.  I have a very strong belief in the program because I have seen firsthand the difference a program like this can make.  It's a different kind of investment and I look forward to being a part of it."

Sippel takes over a squad that finished with a 4-29 record last season.  Their first matchup will take place this March in Tucson, Arizona as they take part in the Tucson Invitational Games.
