ANGOLA, Ind.-- Take a look at the upcoming schedule and a preview of the week ahead in Trine Thunder athletics.
Tuesday
Wrestling: Trine at Olivet, 7:30 p.m.
A busy week for Thunder wrestling kicks off with a dual at
Olivet. Trine is 2-9 in duals this season, and is coming off a
30-10 loss to Alma. Mack Green, Brandon Preston and Michael Conner
picked up wins in that match. The Comets are ranked 26th in the
nation by the NWCA and are 7-12 in duals this season.
Wednesday
Women's Basketball: Trine at Olivet, 7:30 p.m.
A key game in the race for the MIAA playoffs, as the Thunder lead
the Comets by one game in hunt for the fourth seed in the
conference tournament. An Olivet victory would give the Comets the
advantage in any tiebreak scenario between the two teams. The
Thunder will be fresh off a Saturday bye, and beat Albion 64-42 in
their last game.
Men's Basketball: Trine at Alma, 7:30 p.m.
The Thunder enter the week tied for first-place, while the Scots
are fighting for the fourth-seed in the MIAA tournament. Trine won
the first meeting of the season, 69-55. Alma has won three of their
last four, including an upset victory over Calvin.
Thursday
Wrestling: Trine at Wabash, 7 p.m.
The second dual of the week sees the Thunder hit the road to
face the Little Giants, who are ranked third in the nation by the
NWCA.
Saturday
Wrestling: Trine at Mid-States Invitational, 9 a.m.
The tournament will be the second trip the Thunder will make to
Olivet this week. The open tournament features competitors from
five other schools- Wabash, Alma, Heidelberg, Olivet, and Ohio
Northern.
Men's Basketball: Trine at Calvin, 3 p.m.
This game could very well be a battle for sole possession of
first-place in the league, depending on the outcomes of Wednesday
night's games. The two teams enter the week tied for the top spot
in the MIAA. The Thunder earned a 62-47 victory over the Knights
earlier this season in Hershey Hall.
Women's Basketball: Trine at Adrian, 7 p.m.
The Thunder wrap up the week with their final road game of the
regular-season. Trine earned a 59-50 victory in the first meeting
this season.
