This was always going to be a tough win coming off exam week and Christmas break for Hope.

Was that sarcasm?  or a legitimate statement?

just a jerk being a jerk

Hope wins big 87-57 over Piedmont.  Another big game game (and double-double) from Philana Greene - 19 points and 12 reb (including 7 off reb), 3 assists and 4 steals.  Abby Phillips with 13 (in 10 minutes) , Kust with 12, and Cowen with 11.

Hope shot 35% from the floor, but rebounding was the key in this game.  Hope out rebounded Piedmont 62-37.  The most amazing thing about the rebounding is that Hope finished with 38 offensive rebounds

maybe they will come home today  and they get some rest for a while to next week hope they have a happy newyear

New polls are out.  Hope fell a little, Calvin climbed, and Carthage not getting the respect they deserve.

[sumfun]

Actually moving from 24 to 15 is a huge jump.  Rightly so, it takes a while to earn respect to move up into the top 10.  If Carthage keeps winning big over unranked teams, beats ranked teams, they'll move up.

I tend to agree that is a good move.  After watching these polls from their start the natural bias is towards teams that finished the prior year well.  Historically the drop down and out has been slower than the rise through the rankings.

The Hope/Alma game tonight has been changed to a 6pm start at DeVos Fieldhouse.

Also it sounds like Carrie Snikkers may be out for some time, and we may not get to see the Snikkers/Verkaik matchup until much later in the season.

Carrie is not expected to play before February so it doesn't appear that we'll see the matchup between these two players before the conference tournament.

Just as long as she returns by then!  The match-up I'm dying to see is Snikkers vs. Solari in Bloomington in the FF!

('Hope' I didn't just jinx either Hope or IWU! )

(And if it is Verkaik vs. Solari, that's cool, too - though Verkaik hasn't been RIGHT behind Solari for two years! )

That is too bad on Snickers.  Did she break her foot?  My biggest question being out that long is her conditioning.  I think all would agree that is her only weakness.

[oldknight]

That is too bad on Snickers.  Did she break her foot? 

Stress fracture.

Stress fracture.

That is bad news.  No medical training, but it just seems a stress fracture is almost harder to come back from than a more typical broken bone.

Not really. She has a metatarsel stress fracture and if the bone breaks she will have to have surgery and likely a pin put in place. That's pretty major and would require that she be inactive for 6-8 months.
