UW Whitewater ended Calvin's volleyball season this afternoon 3-1.   Still... congrats on a fine season.

You are correct that the schedule says 1 pm.  However, the game became part of the night activities with Mount Union.  It still will be at 5 pm as of right now.
OK thanks!

Hope VB lost to Heidleberg 3-1.  Looks like they put up a good fight (25-22, 20-25, 29-27, 25-19).  Would have loved to have seen them play without having "the plague" interrupt their preparations.  Congrats on a great season!!

The live stats on the host school's Web site reports it was a five-set loss.

Yeah, five sets. Wish I could see Hope OH Nora Slenk play another match. Wow, was she good.
That whole Heidelberg/Hope match was incredible. Great showcase for what D-III volleyball has to offer. Entertaining, intense, well-played, etc. Too bad for Hope that the Heidelberg serve was ridiculous at times.

MY bad, I mis-read the 3rd game.  Hope really struggled this year in 5 set matches (2-5), but still a great season.

Congrats to Rebecca Kamp, the first ever freshman to be selected as MIAA MVP in volleyball. If her numbers hold up, she looks like a good bet for All American as well.

Have any MIAA athletes in any sport made league MVP and All American as freshmen?


I'm wondering ... how often is the MIAA MVP not All-American (in any sport)?

She was also named AVCA All-Region and Great Lakes Freshman of the Year. Book it. She'll be an All-American. Several other Hope and Calvin players were named to the All-Region and HM teams.
Also yesterday, the Calvin coach was named GLR Coach of the Year.

National freshman of the year and first-team All American. Can't complain about those results.

Congrats to Rebecca.

Volleyball :) .  Isn't this a basketball bored.  Just kidding! 

How do the teams look early on?  Will Hope win another conference championship this year?

My opinion - Hope will win the league again, although I doubt it will be at 16-0.  The Hope team is still very deep, with a lot of experience, speed, and what I see as two legit All-American level players in Snikkers and Greene.

FDF:  I am inclined to agree with your prediction at this point.  I see Calvin being very hard to beat in their new home, but not sure they will duplicate the success that Hope has enjoyed at the De Vos.

The Dutch won their tip off tournament.  They beat a pretty good Condordia team Friday night (although the Cobbers were just over matched on the inside) and won pretty comfortably over Defiance on Saturday.

There were some good individual performances, and this year's team may be even more athletic than the last couple of years.   However, they played some ugly basketball, mixed in with some really good stretches, in both games.  When the starters were on the court together, the Dutch were solid but unspectacular, but some combinations had a lot of glitches.  Some of this is understandable given the practices, Ferris State scrimmage and Mt. Union game lost to the noro-virus.  They are also replacing four starters, so some bumps are to be expected.  However, they will have to get the unforced mental errors under control before they travel to Albion on December 3rd.

I expect the team to have a great season, but they have a lot of work to do to reach their full potential.  When they get their timing down and really learn how to play together it is going to be hard for any of the other conference schools to stop them.

Philly Green demonstrated that she has the ability to change the tempo of a game almost single handily.   The big post combination of Knox and Snikkers worked out very well.  Snikkers has as much pure basketball talent and skills as any player at this level, but is still too streaky.  Knox seems able to maintain consistent intensity and find ways to use her strength to her advantage.
