With new head coach Troy Abbs at the helm, Trine defeated the Spartans 38-14 in a game under the lights of Zollner Athletic Stadium. The Thunder returns to action at 2 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 12 when the team plays at North Central (Ill.). Martinez spoke to a full house Wednesday evening when he also answered numerous questions during Trine's Distinguished Speaker Series at Ryan Concert Hall, T. Furth Center for Performing Arts.
