HISTORY | TREVECCA @ GREAT MIDWEST CHAMPIONSHIPS

Trevecca helped start the G-MAC when the school moved to NCAA Division II and move to the Gulf South Conference next season. 

The Trojans own six regular-season G-MAC title and five G-MAC Tournament Championship. The first five regular-season and first three postseason championships went to the Trojans.

MIDWEST REGIONAL

The Trojans have advanced to the NCAA Div. II Regional twice in school history. After winning the 2013, 2014, and 2015 Great Midwest tournament titles (G-MAC didn't have an automatic bid), the Trojans were never selected for an at-large bid to the Midwest Regional until they automatically punched their way to the tournament in 2021.

Trevecca nearly completed the sweep of the Midwest Region in 2021, finishing the tournament as champions with a 4-1 record and a run differential of +14 (37-23).

In 2024, the Trojans found their way back to the NCAA dance after winning their fifth and final Great Midwest Athletic Conference tournament. After knocking off Regional host and favorites University of Indianapolis in game one, the Trojans dropped their next two games seeing their season come to an end.
