32 is good... Congrats

Flight, thanks the kind word. Yes #32, Sage, is one of the freshmen that has made it happen this year for the Bruins.  Today was a typical game for them where the extended 2-3 zone has given every team trouble. It helps to have a 6'-4" player to back everyone else up.

It would be great to hear your in person impressions of how you see the match-up with the winner of the Hope-Thomas More game.  I'm assuming Hope will defeat TM, but all the teams are good at this stage of the tournament.

Safe travel.

Thomas More is giving Hope all they can handle with 5:26 left they lead by 2  18-16     check that Hope and 1 makes it 19-18.  Both teams have alot of size but Hope plays great defense... Very well coached on the help side. If George Fox shoots the ball like they did today they win against either team.

Your center will not have as an easy of a time against either team tomorrow as both have size and depth in the post.  Currently 21-18 Hope

Flight, thanks for your observations. It will be interesting to see how George Fox responds playing a team with the height and skill to match-up with Kristen (#20).

BTW, Hope beat George Fox in the Sweet 16 last year in Texas before going on to lose to host Howard Payne. The Bruins stayed in it until near the end when Hope pulled away to win by 7. Snikkers was a key player down the stretch in that game.

Thanks Flight.  Sage is an amazing player.  We are pretty excited that she is only a freshman and will be around for a few more years, as will the rest of the Bruins! 

Great season to your ladies!

The Bruins have made it to the Elite 8 and are still undefeated at 29-0! This afternoon, the ladies take on the Hope College Flying Dutch for a chance to advance to next weekend's Final Four.

There will be a live simulcast party in the Klages Dining Room at George Fox for anyone that wants to watch the game and cheer on the Bruins. We will have a live video stream projected on a big screen, the KFOX radio call of Justin Sweeney '09, and live stats projected.

Doors will open at 3:30 p.m. with the KFOX pregame starting at 3:40 pm. Tip-off is at 4 p.m.

Come join the fun. Yesterday there were several hundred people watching the game together. It was a really fun way to support the team and be a part of this historic run by our women.

Can I just say how much I like rebuilding years?

Hope College has scored over 60 points every game this year and George Fox hasn't given up more than 60 points this year. Does anyone think either team will crack 60 points?

Neither team made it to 50 points in last year's Sweet 16 game.

I think that the GFU has the best chance to knock off Hope.

Fox knocks off Hope!!!  BB Gardner would be the point guard of my team if I had a choice. It didnt seem that Fox had as good an offensive night as last night but they played great on the defensive end.

Congrats Fox on making it to the Final Four. Do us proud by winning it all so we can say we got beat by the National Champion!

They would love nothing more than to make you proud. The team is due back around noon in Portland tomorrow, plus the 1 hour drive home to Newberg.  Then leave for Holland probably on Wednesday.

I was just looking at some stats on College of New Jersey, not sure why they didn't receive more attention this season. They are very good defensively, so could turn into another low scoring battle ... which I think is OK with the Bruins.

Flight, thanks for the support and may the Petrels come back strong.

you guys have a nice team to bad we could have not met in the final 4 instad of the final 8  good luck this week in holland i think you might have some hope fans cheering for you this week

[BruinFan]

Thanks hope1.  Yes, ideally the Hope-George Fox game would have been in the Final 4. You have a great team and I think most Bruin fans gave the Flying Dutch a slight edge going into the game.  If they were to play 10 times, I think every game would be a battle.

It would be great if some Hope faithful want to adopt George Fox next weekend. We have the furthest to travel and I'm hearing airfare is running $500 to $600. We will have some fans make the trip, but mostly family and former players.

Hope has a great program and I'm sure you will continue to be a contender in future years.
