first time poster on this board and I'm not sure if its been discussed or even released to public but there are multiple girls available as transfers from GVSU, including Emma Veach who would look good in orange and blue.  Probably an issue with Mo's rotations/minutes played though with them.

Remember, you have to make a right turn when leaving the front door of the Allendale campus. That means you're heading east down M-45.

Yeah but the Michigan DOT is great at providing mutliple oportunities to u-turn!

Looks like a very aggressive schedule for Hope.  Notice Manchester has Calvin on the 16th. of Nov., and Hope 3 days later. 

[sac]

Manchester 6-20
B-W 19-8
Defiance 17-10
North Park 5-20
Concordia 13-12
Wittenberg 19-8
Washington 29-2
Ohio Wes 20-7
or
Bluffton 8-16

I don't really know if that qualifies as 'agressive', all it really has is a number of winnable "in-region" games and a rematch with what should be a very good Wash U team.  All but WashU should be in-region.

I don't know what Witt, BW, OWU or Defiance has returning but there's no guaruntee they'll be better.

WashU was the only team on the list that made the NCAA tournament this past season.

heard that of all the GVSU defections, 1 will end up at Hope, Maddie Burnett, a Northview HS (grand rapids) grad.  Emma Veach is going to Hillsdale and play against her former squad.  Any word on where her brother is going to school and whether he is playing hoops or polo?

When I saw Rochester I was thinking NY, and that would make the schedule tougher.  Still some very nice winning programs in the mix.

A couple Lansing area women headed to the MIAA, I don't know anything about them.

Holly Kramer, Pewamo-Westphalia to Kalamazoo

Kelsey Effner, Dansville to Albion

Flying Dutch Top DIII In Women's
Basketball Attendance

Make it three-for-three for Hope fan attendance at the college's DeVos Fieldhouse.
The NCAA has announced that Hope led all Division III women's basketball programs in average home attendance during the 2009-10 season.
Hope also topped Division III during 2009-10 in attendance at its home volleyball (992 average) and men's basketball (2,826 average) contests. No Division III member has ever accomplished this fete.
It marks the second straight year that Hope has been the leader in women's basketball attendance. This past season the team averaged 1,138 fans over 20 home dates.
It is the third time since moving to DeVos Fieldhouse that Hope has been the DIII leader in women's basketball attendance. In 2005-06, the first year at DeVos, the team averaged 1,329 fans per game. In 2008-09 the team averaged 1,269.
The Flying Dutch, who posted an overall 32-2 record, were 20-0 on their home court. Games against rival Calvin attracted the largest crowds, 3,177 on January 19 and 2,565 on February 27.
Hope five-season record at DeVos Fieldhouse in 80-1. In 14 seasons under coach Morehouse, the Flying Dutch are 193-20 (.906) on their home floor.
The Flying Dutch will enter the 2009-10 season with a home floor winning streak of 61 in-a-row. The season will begin non Nov. 16 with a home game against Rochester.

Lots of chatter on the guys board about recruits and of course new Hope coach.....anybody know about the incoming freshman for the girls programs?  Or the exiting of any current players?
