ARLINGTON – Following a strong playing career at TCU, Trinity King has been named as the new assistant coach for the UTA women's golf team, as announced by head coach Catherine Matranga.
 
"I am extremely grateful to Coach Cat for the opportunity to coach alongside her this year," stated King. "UTA is a special place to me because Arlington is my hometown, and I am excited to be here with such a great team. This program has grown so much over the years, and I am looking forward to learning and growing in my new role."

In her final season as a Horned Frog, King accumulated a 79.47 scoring average across 19 rounds played. The Arlington native tied for 33rd place at the Barbara Nicklaus Cup, logging a three-round score of 40-over par 256. For the second-consecutive season in 2023, King and the TCU squad competed in the NCAA National Championships.
 
King spent four seasons at TCU (2020-2023) where she tabbed a 76.31 career scoring average across a total of 70 rounds. The Martin High School product's best career finish came from the Hurricane Invitational in Coral Gables, Florida where she tied for seventh, guiding the Horned Frogs to a second place finish overall.
 
King isn't the only coach on the UTA women's golf staff to spend her playing career in a Horned Frog uniform as Matranga was a four-year letterwinner for TCU (2003-07), finishing her career with an All-American Honorable Mention honor in 2007 after leading the Horned Frogs to a Mountain West Championship.

"I'm so excited to have Trinity join our program," said Matranga. "She had great success in college both on the course and in the classroom, and those experiences will be instrumental to our program."
 
King will get to work immediately as the Mavs begin their season in less than two weeks at Utah Valley's Timpanogos Collegiate Invitational beginning Sept. 10 in Provo, Utah.
 
In 2023, King graduated Magna Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Science in psychology and a minor in communications from TCU.
