Women's Basketball Dec 06 scores
Trine 66, Kalamazoo 59
Adrian 54, Albion 52 (wow)
Hope 63, Alma 46
Saint Mary's 79, Calvin 74 (ouch)

Some folks do discuss MIAA volleyball in the women's basketball thread.

So this means Alma and Adrian loose their chance at the automatic qualifier so the MIAA has a chance to send an at-large team (possibly Calvin) as well as the MIAA automatic qualifier (Hope)?

Nope ... read the next papragraph ::

Commissioner David Neilson announced the cancellation after consulting with the NCAA, which had initially allowed an exception to its requirement that the MIAA's automatic qualifier be determined by Sunday's deadline. After revisiting the matter, the NCAA determined that the MIAA must abide by the original timeline.

NCAA record crowd sees Calvin knock off Hope
An NCAA Division III regular season volleyball record crowd of 2,307 witnessed a five-set thriller Friday at DeVos Fieldhouse, as Calvin came from behind to hand Hope its first MIAA loss.  The previous NCAA regular season record crowd was 1,850 when Roanoke (Va.) College defeated Washington and Lee (Va.) on Oct. 25, 2000.

Volleyball
Calvin 17th d. Hope 12th 25-20, 23-25, 13-25, 25-13, 15-13

Did not see this coming ... especially after the 25-13 shellacking Calvin took in the 3rd set.  I'm glad they played in Hope's main arena instead of the side gym.

It's great to see the volleyball match in the big gym.  Last season the were overflow in the side gym.

Good fortune to the Flying Dutchmen in the 3rd place game.

Very sly.

Hope 88, Adrian 65
Albion 71, Alma 53
Saint Mary's 71, Kalamazoo 39
Calvin 71, Olivet 69 ... whoa

- Best Dew Crew vs KnightMares exchange:

KnightMares "Orange is ugly, orange is ugly"

Dew Crew response "Urine's yellow, urine's yellow"

Best fan moment:

- KnightMare student decked out as an official joining the line of three officials during the half time shoot around.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but to add hockey as a varsity sport Hope, Calvin and Albion would have to add a women's varsity sport.........correct?

Calvin has more women's sports than men's right now (no football).  I see indoor T&F and Lacrosse as the next sports added to the MIAA.

Consider Don Overbeek, who ended up as an All American:

Look at Wheaton's Wiele. He was pretty unimpressive until this year, in which he's a junior.

Mantel's definitely making progress, though it may take a while for him to reach his potential.

differences:

Diesel and Wiele = cut with big muscles
Calvin players = smooth with small muscles

Knight Club is no more, Calvin fans.  This year, the student section will be called the "Knightmares" and will wear black shirts!

Looks like the old Fieldhouse was a Knightmare for the Bears.
