The Trojans open the season at home with an August 28 hosting of Iowa Wesleyan University, continuing the longest-running series in Trinity International's program history. The Tigers, an NAIA member from the West side of the Mid States Conference, won the Trojans' season-opener a year ago by a 29-7 margin.
"The schedule you are handed is one of the toughest challenges in the Mid States Conference with all the high quality teams you know you will face. I'm confident that the quality of the opponents we regularly play will elevate the level of play within our program," head coach Kirk Wherritt said.
