In her three season's she has coached seven All-Ivy League selections, five Academic All-Ivy honorees and three Capital One Academic All-District recipients.

Trimble graduated in 2008 as one of the most decorated players in team history. A two-time captain, Trimble earned All-Ivy League second-team honors as a junior and senior, and led the team in hitting during her senior season as well. A force in the front-court, Trimble currently holds the program record for career block assists with 298 and is second in team annals with 370 career total blocks.
