WHAT'S NEXT

Trevecca travels to Georgia to play in the No. 5 Young Harris College (9-0) Mountain Lions invitational. The four games will be played at E.D. Rivers Field. The first two games against #5 Young Harris on Friday (02.21) and two against Columbus State University (5-5) Cougars on Saturday (02.22).

Trevecca faced Young Harris once, all the way back in 2011 when the Mountain Lions topped the Trojans 3-0. Though Union and Trevecca were longtime rivals in the NAIA and co-members of the TranSouth conference, they have only met eight times in the NCAA era with Union holding a 5-3 edge. Trevecca claimed three of the first four meetings, but the Bulldogs own a four-game win streak in the series.

Trevecca's next home games are on Wednesday, February 26th when Union University (6-4) visits for a pair of games beginning at 2 PM.
