Trine women’s golf is scheduled to host a single-round tournament on Wednesday, Sept. 16th at Zollner Golf Course.

After an impressive team performance in 2019-20 that included its first conference championship, the Trine University men's golf team started off its 2020-21 schedule right where it left off with a victory at the Lou Collins Memorial Tournament hosted by Olivet (MI) College at Bedford Valley Country Club in Battle Creek, MI. Individually, three Trine players finished in the top five, including another player who finished in the top 10.
