During the 2008 season, Linnan batted 3.14. She tallied 16 hits, nine runs scored, and 10 RBIs. Linnan held a .213 batting average in 2007. She also totalled 13 hits and 15 RBIs in 2007.

In the 2008-2009 season, he recorded two victories at second singles and added three victories at first doubles with teammate Adam Landry. During the 2007-2008 season, Trobert won five times at fourth singles and eight times at second doubles. He went 9-11 in singles matches and 5-13 in doubles during the 2006-2007 season.
