Following a strong playing career at TCU, head coach Catherine Matranga named Trinity King as the new assistant coach for the UTA women’s golf team on August 31, 2023.
In just her first year with UTA, King helped the Mavericks to the following accomplishments:
- Posted the best low round in program history with a 1st-round 280 (-8) back at the fall-opening Timpanogos Collegiate Invitational (9/10/23).
- Best finish of 3rd place came from the shortened Bearkat Invite - event was cut down to two rounds due to inclement weather. There, UTA recorded a 606 36-hole total.
- Helped sophomore Madison Le to 11 rounds of even par or better on the season, ranking as the Mavs' leading scorer in seven events. Le reached a new milestone in her collegiate career with a round of 67 at UTRGV's Vaquero Invitational (3/5).
- Fellow sophomore Kamri Gabel recorded a new program low round of 65 - which came from the first round in Provo, Utah.
- Tabbed a team scoring average of 306.1 across 11 tournaments and 32 rounds.
Prior to her coaching career, King accumulated a 79.47 scoring average across 19 rounds played with the Horned Frogs. 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 (2019-2023) 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 letter winner 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.
In 2023, King graduated Magna Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Science in psychology and a minor in communications from TCU.
