The Trinity College men's basketball team concluded its season with a 64-61 loss to the University of Mary Washington in the NCAA Division III Championship Semifinals on March 22. The Bantams, who entered the tournament as the top seed, finished the season with a 29-3 record, marking their third consecutive appearance in the Final Four. Earlier in the tournament, Trinity edged past 12th-ranked Tufts University, 69-66, in the quarterfinals, thanks to strong performances from seniors Henry Vetter and Tristan Davis. Vetter, who became the program's all-time leader in three-point field goals made, earned multiple postseason accolades, including NABC All-American Second Team honors.

In women's basketball, junior Marlo Simms received New England Women's Basketball Association All-Region Fourth Team recognition. Simms, who averaged a double-double this season with 11.9 points and a league-high 11.3 rebounds per game, is the seventh player in program history to earn this distinction. Her performance included 14 double-doubles, ranking fourth in program history for a single season, and she was also named to the NESCAC All-Conference Second Team.

The men's lacrosse team faced a challenging matchup against No. 1 Tufts University, losing 17-11 on March 21. The Bantams, now 4-3 overall and 1-3 in NESCAC play, struggled early but rallied in the second half, outscoring the Jumbos 5-4 in the third quarter. Jay Ottomanelli led the Bantams with five goals, showcasing his offensive prowess despite the defeat. Trinity will look to rebound in their upcoming games as they continue their conference schedule.
