Coach Jenna Sippel enters her fourth season serving as the Head Coach of the softball program.
Sippel is familiar with Trinity, the NAIA, NCCAA, and CCAC as she served as a pitcher and first baseman for the Trojan program from 2003-2007. She was a part of the 2007 team that advanced to the NCCAA National Tournament where the squad ended up placing fourth overall. Sippel earned NCCAA All-American Honors that year, and made the NAIA All-Region VII Team as well as the CCAC All- Conference Team.
After graduating with a degree in Sports Wellness and Management in Spring 2007, Sippel continued serving the softball program here at Trinity as a graduate assistant for one year. In the fall of 2008, the program transitioned under her leadership while she served an interim position as head coach.
Sippel leads the program with a focus on Unity, Courage, Strength, and Excellence. These core values have been passed from team to team since she was a member of the squad. Sippel challenges the team to use intercollegiate athletic competition as an opportunity to grow in both current and future relationships with the Lord, while also building a team that strives to compete at an NAIA national level.
Sippel is a native of Kankakee, Illinois and a graduate of Kankakee High School. She went on to study Sports Wellness and Management here at Trinity International University, and is currently pursuing her Master of Arts degree in Counseling/Psychology at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School.
