2004 NCCAA NATIONAL CHAMPIONS
2004 NCCAA DI COACH OF THE YEAR: Patrick Gilliam November 22, 2004Trinity International University is the 2004 NCCAA National Champion. The team achieved this feat with a 2-0 win over Mount Vernon Nazarene while in Kissimmee, FL. This victory allowed the Trojans an opportunity to beat a foe that has been a thorn in their side as of late. Mount Vernon defeated TIU in last year's NCCAA Final 0-2 and the two squads opened their season here in Deerfield, IL when MVNU beat Trinity 3-2. So the win allowed the Trojans to exact a little revenge. The two played to a scoreless first half in the championship game. But 4 minutes into the second half, Ashleigh Dellos netted the games first score to put TIU up 1-0. The score would stay that way in a tight match until the 81st minute when Dellos finished off a pass from Jill Barre to give the Trojans a little breathing room. Keeper Allison Budden (7 saves) and the Trojan defense held Mount Vernon scoreless as Trinity International claimed the NCCAA National Championship. They finished their season at 18-8. November 20, 2004TIU advanced to the NCCAA National Tournament Final with a 2-1 victory over Cedarville (OH) University. All the scoring was done in the first half. Megan Pelland opened the scoring at the 17 minute mark with the assists going to Jill Barre and Lindy Gritter. Then Barre made the score 2-0 on an unassisted goal at the 36 minute mark. The Trojans thought the half would that at 2-0, but with about a minute remaining, Cedarville scored to bring the halftime tally to 2-1. The second half remained scoreless and TIU earned an opportunity to win the NCCAA National Title and revenge last seasons loss to Mount Vernon Nazarene in the 2003 National Championship Match. Once again, Mount Vernon Nazarene stands in the way. Kick-off is set for 4:30 PM EST in Kissimmee, FL. November 19, 2004Trinity International advanced to the Semi-final contest of the NCCAA National Tournament by way of a 3-0 win over Christian Heritage (CA) College. Katelyn Keckeisen opened the scoring in the first half when she converted on a penalty kick as TIU took a 1-0 lead. That score would hold until the second half when Keckeisen beat a defender at the near post to put the Trojans up by two. Katelyn then completed the hat-trick when she scored on another penalty kick as TIU ended the scoring at 3-0. They will face the winner of Dallas Baptist and Cedarville on Saturday, Nov. 20th in Kissimmee, FL. November 15, 2004Trinity International (15-8) advanced to the NCCAA National Tournament (click here for info) with a 2-1 win over Bethel (IN) College. Ashleigh Dellos scored twice for the Trojans, once in the first half and once in the second, to put TIU up 2-0. But the Pilots would not go away and continued to pressure the young Trojan defense. With under 10 minutes remaining, Bethel scored to bring them to within 1. However, they could not close the gap as Trinity International won 2-1 and will represent the North-Central Region in the NCCAA Tournament in Kissimmee, FL, Nov. 19-22. The Trojans finished last year as the National Runner-Up and hope to use that experience to bring home a National Championship in 2004.

The Trojans came out fighting in the second half, playing some of the best soccer of the season and scored when Lindsey Rademacher played a ball down the line to a streaking Ashleigh Dellos. Dellos lifted the ball from the side and scored when the ball cleared the out-reached arms of the Robert Morris keeper and wound up in the back of the net.
