2nd Annual Team Trina Event

This season, we hosted our second annual Team Trina Charity Event. Last summer, rising junior Trina Rinke was diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer. After chemo and two surgeries during the Fall of 2017, Trina was deemed cancer free on October 19th and has been in remission since. As a team, we wanted to continue this event and raise money for a charity that was close to Trina's heart.

The charity that Trina chose was First Descents. First Descents is an organization that offers outdoor adventures for young adults who have been touched by cancer. On the organization and her experience Trina said, "It was truly a life changing experience meeting and getting to know the people I got connected with during my adventure. We got to learn how to kayak in Oregon while getting to talk through our experiences with cancer that a lot of people can not relate to."

We had a silent auction, t-shirts for sale, and a voluntary entry fee with all of the proceeds going to First Descents. The silent auction was such a success due to the kind donations that included drawings, t-shirts, and even a Gustie Football Umbrella. We are so lucky to have received the support we did for the silent auction and wanted to thank the coaches, parents, and community members who donated to this great organization.


This year, we hosted Nebraska Wesleyan on a beautiful sunny day. It was a great day and an even better turnout for our second annual Team Trina game. The atmosphere was invigorating  as we battled against a great opponent for our first home game of the season. We came away with a 1-0 victory with the goal coming from Sr. Emily Skogseth who chipped in a rebound in the 30th minute. Overall, it was a fantastic event honoring a great person and raising money for a cause that is very important to her. We want to thank everyone involved and the handwork that was put in to make this event such a success!
