Heard an amazing stat after the last game. The seniors on this years Flying Dutch team are currently 100-10 in their careers!!!!

That is a great stat. Coach Morehouse has done a heck of a job at Hope College. His teams just keep getting better and better. This year Hope will probably be bringing a championship back to Holland. I really want to know what Hope's weaknesses are, if any. They are superb. They play the game how it should be played. They execute well on offense, and they play some stifling defense which throws their opponents off their game. What a great accomplishment for the women to win the regular season championship, with a perfect record in conference play.

Does anyone have news on Jordyn Boles injury from Saturday's game?

Hope leads Kalamazoo 48-21 with 19:29 left in the 2nd half. Its been all Hope. I am not surprised either!

albinomascot19 · February 21, 2006, 08:22:07 PM

Hope is absolutely taking care of the Hornets tonight. I wouldnt be surprised if they are able to get about 90 points, and theres enough time for that to happen.

Final from Hollywood: 80 Hope 47 Kalamazoo. Next up for Hope, the winner of Olivet/Albion.....Albion leads Olivet 52-51 with 6:21 left in 2nd half.

albinomascot19 · February 21, 2006, 09:09:03 PM

Olivet looks like it has seized control of the game. With a minute left Olivet leads Albion 61-58.

albinomascot19 · February 21, 2006, 09:10:57 PM

Albion falls apart in the last few minutes of the game, as Olivet looks like it will come up with the win and will travel to meet Hope College.

albinomascot19 · February 21, 2006, 09:15:27 PM

Final score from Albion, Michigan: 65 Olivet 58 Albion College.

Next up in Holland Michigan on Thursday....Hope College will host Olivet College Comets, slated for a 7:30pm tipoff.

Still no results available from the Alma/St. Mary's game, with the winner, traveling to take on the Calvin College Knights on Thursday.

The Hope ladies are very good, and they will only continue to get better. Mo is an excellent coach and just like his men's team counterpart, he is turning out to be a great recruiter as well.

It's fun to watch the girls play too, something that cannot always be said of womens bball teams. Bria adds some serious speed to the dutch and Jordan is probably the best shooter currently in the basketball program at Hope (mens and womens).

I'm looking forward to catching a few of their tourney games @ Devos

This Hope team is better than any other team I have seen in my 5 years of watching DIII basketball as a student. I made my prediction a long time ago, no one, will stop this team. I think they have been the most dominant team in the nation thus far. I think they are going to chalk up many more wins. 2nd national championship trophy for the women's team is heading to Holland, Michigan come March. They have a high octane offense, that is just unreal. They know how to rebound, they force turnovers, they can push the ball, and can definitely hit the trifecta. Without a doubt, I think they are the most complete women's team in DIII....and I personally think it would be a disappointment if they don't win it all.

albinomascot19 · February 23, 2006, 11:31:06 PM

Thursday's scores:

63 Calvin 52 Alma

78 Hope 51 Olivet

Next up: Hope hosts rival Calvin in the MIAA Championship game slated for a 3pm start Saturday at the Devos Fieldhouse.

I have a dream that one day in the MIAA, women's sports will have much more attendance. From the figures from the last Hope College contest, it shows that only 460 people were in attendance, which is a far outcry from the number of people that the Devos Fieldhouse can seat. Come out and support the women's team at Hope College, which is ready to make a championship run. Don't just be preoccupied with the men's team, but also give support to the women. These women deserve it. They give it their all each and every game. It would be different, if a team wasn't good, but Hope's women are not only good, they are superb. They are the complete package of what a team should be. Where are the Dutchies hiding? If I was a Hope alumni, I would make sure there were more people in the stands. Can anyone imagine, the Devos only having 460 people at a game, for the men's team? That wouldn't even be happening in a blizzard, people would find a way to get there. If truly you want to see basketball at its finest people need to come out in numbers, and show their support for the team. However for the people that do show up, I commend them. Good luck to the ladies...may they continue to work hard, and have much more success!
