Soccer and Baseball Join Efforts Signing Tameling   (4/25/05)
Both the men's soccer team and baseball teams will benefit next season as Rich Tameling, son of Ed and Sherry Tameling, signed to play at Trinity. Tameling enjoyed success in both sports at Timothy Christian High School and plans on doing the same as a Troll. 

"We are very excited to have Rich in our programs," agree Coach DeCou and Coach Schans. "He is a quality athlete and a quality young man."

In soccer Tameling was they captain of his high school team as well as all-conference and honorable mention all-sectional. He scored eight goals and handed out thirteen assists in his senior year. He will continue the Trinity soccer tradition started by his older brother Kevin, a four-year Troll soccer player. 

"Rich will be able to play a number of positions due to his speed, touch, and vision," says DeCou. "He has the qualities that we need to help us in our quest for championships."

Tameling also has the talent to get the job done on the baseball field. He has been successful in the field as Timothy Christian's short stop and at the plate with a good batting average. Although it is still early in the baseball season, his stats may earn him an all-conference selection this year. 

Schans comments, "Rich is a great kid and a good athlete. He will be able to deepen our play in the infield as well as help us out on the offensive attack with the bat."
