I am elated to have these 4 deserving teams play in Holland this weekend and for W. Michigan to host 8 great teams playing 6 exciting games.   There should be a lot of community support at both sites but from past experience, Holland will have the largest attendance.  I pray for safe travels for the teams and injury free weekend.

Sitting behind Hope's bench, Snikkers had a little bit of an emotional breakdown with a little over 2 minutes to go. Not sure what that was all about.

Carrie recieved a knee to her braced knee by I believe Carissa...Mo/Carrie called a time out and she played the last 3 min. in pain.  That's the view I saw.  I pray she will be alright.  Looked like Carissa said she was sorry to Carrie after the game...

A great example of the heart at Hope. We are proud of our girls and coaching staff...Thank you for an amazing 2009-2010 season!

Carrie Snikkers was named a Division III All-American by the National Association of Women's Basketball Coaches on Thursday night.

Just curious about what any HPU fans that went to MI this past weekend thought of your experience there.  Did the "Dutch" treat you decently?
Do you know how tough it was to arrrange the snow just for you?

I will pass this post onto the Grounds Crew so they can send you the bill for Friday night and Saturday morning snow removal.   

Does anyone know how I can obtain a copy of the Hope/HPU game?  I am sure I am not the only one that would like to watch the game even if the outcome is already known.

On a side note...Hope you enjoyed the pre-game SNOW slide on cafeteria trays at Devos Fieldhouse!

Keep your heads up high ladies.  We are all very proud of you.  You are the best examples of what a Student/Athlete should be.

Just went to see the ladies off -- they all seemed really excited, and thought it was cool that there were people there to wish them well before they headed on their way.  While many of the fans there were comiserating with them about the "unfortunateness" of them having to play away from home, they seem to have a pretty good attitude about it.

Go get 'em, ladies!  We'll be cheering you on from home!

The ladies left Devos parking lot at 3:14pm with a nice fan base to send them off.  I was glad to be there to see their smiling excited faces.  May God's right hand be upon you ladies as you travel, play, and come home to your Hope family.
