Trumbo enters his third season as the head women's volleyball coach at Stevenson in 2009 after setting school record for wins in each of his first two seasons where he has totaled a 53-19 record.
A year ago, the Mustangs became the first team in the program's 11-year history to win 30 matches as they finished with a 32-8 record. Stevenson finished third in the CAC and advanced to the semifinals of the conference tournament before earning the top-seed in the ECAC Division III South Region Championship.
The Mustangs started the season with a school-record 15-straight wins while capturing the championship of the Crimson Eagle Classic at Philadelphia Biblical. Junior Brittany Umetin was named to the All-CAC Second Team, becoming the program's first All-CAC selection.
In 2008, Trumbo led Stevenson to a then-school record 21 wins in his first season as the team finished with a mark of 21-11 and sixth in the CAC. The Mustangs also advanced to the finals of the Haverford Invitational and won 12 of their first 15 matches.

Liberty won eight consecutive county championships and six consecutive regional championships under Trumbo while making six consecutive appearances in the state tournament, winning back-to-back state championships in 2003 and 2004.
Under Trumbo, the Lions established a Metro record
with 49-straight victories and was ranked at No.
1 in the final Metro poll at the conclusion of the 2003
and 2004 seasons. He coached seven Carroll County players
of the year and one Metro Player of the Year.
Trumbo is also the founder of the "Spike It!" Volleyball Camp.
