Hope beat St. Marys 89-59 at De Vos.  Anna Kaufmann started instead of Angelique Gaddy and did a fine job this evening.  She scored 10 points and was 2/2 from 3-point range. Melissa Lareau spelled her and played well also.  We will certainly miss Angelique down the road, but for now we seem to be in good hands.  Word-in-the-seats (WITS) was that Angelique will have surgery tomorrow.  I have seen no confirmation from anyone who would know for certain.

Kaufmann did a great job and has been playing well all year.  I'm told Gaddy has an ACL/MCL, we wish her a full recovery.

Yes, we all have ACLs / MCLs 

But seriously, that's never good to hear or see. Hope she has a successful surgery and can get back to playing quickly!

Olivet really had a nice crowd for their game with Kalamazoo yesterday.  It looked like most of the football team came out to support the women.  Dressed up in all kinds of interesting outfits, generally carried on and made noise the whole game.  Fun.

Hope wraps up the MIAA championship with a 90-40 win vs. Trine today.  Trine was game and hung close for the first 10 minutes despite a huge size advantage for the Dutch.  Another double double for McAfee in only 17 minutes, the rest of the starters played even less.  Lots of PT for everyone and everyone scored at least 4 except the two young ladies up from the JV.  The Dutch go 13-24 from behind the arc, with Traversa going 5-8; they have raised their team 3 pt % into the top 10 nationally I believe.  Anna Kaufmann played another excellent game starting for injured Angelique Gaddy, including 3-3 from downtown.

Yes, there were a lot of rebounds available as Calvin shot poorly on Saturday.

The final score was larger than the game was most of the way at the end. Olivet went on a run to start the second half that Calvin couldn't dig themselves out of. These teams will play in the semis of the MIAA tourney most likely and it will be down at Olivet most likely unless some strange things happen.  Should be a great game.

Is it pretty much a foregone conclusion that Stephanie Lang will be the league's MVP?

Based on stats I would say yes and that is most likely how it will go.  I think it is deserved, she's had a great year.  But I think you could also argue that her teammate, Kelsey Campbell, could win it.  Without Campbell, I don't think Lang has the year she has had.

Chelsea Ciba (Olivet) has been named to CoSIDA Academic All-America First Team, and Megan Kelley (Hope) to the second team.  Add in Mark Ghafari (Kalamazoo) on the men's 1st team.  Pretty good stuff MIAA!!

One might make an argument that there are some better players in the league, but its hard to think that there is a more valuable player to her team.

Minor changes in order among the OAC teams.  I feel like Olivet should be ahead of Transylvania though.
