Congratulations to Calvin College for placing two players on DIII All-America teams, Lisa Winkle and Marcia Harris.  Both, very well deserved recognitions.  And, a special tribute to coach John Ross for being named coach of the year!

I know it's technically "all-region" but they're "all-america" to me.

From the Holland Sentinel this morning:

Referee to work first Final Four
Brad Duistermars gets call for NCAA Division III women's hoops tourney

http://hollandsentinel.com/stories/031607/localsports_20070316038.shtml

Didn't see Brad work in any games during the season, but he did ref one game at Hope during the MIAA tourney.  Very nice for the former Holland Christian and Hope player.  Too bad neither Hope nor Calvin could keep winning and join him there.   :-\

DePauw just beat Wash U 55-52 to win the National Championship.

It is interesting that Depauw wins the women's title this year.  It is sort of bitter sweet in a way.  One can't help but wonder if this would have been Calvin's year had it not been for the season ending injures of Harrris and Brummel.

I thought the same thing -- that Calvin at full strength could probably have beat DePauw. Can't be too sad about another elite-8 finish, though. The playoff run showed a lot of determination.

Next year the Knights will obviously miss Lisa Winkle, but if Harris and Brummel come back full strength, I'd think the Knights should be at least as strong as this year's elite-8 tournament edition. Especially with the year of experience for this year's crop of freshmen.

N.B. Harris and Brummel have both had their surgeries now.

Congrats to Lisa Winkle for making d3hoops.com's 3rd-team All American list.

Lisa sure has deserved all the honors that have come her way.  It would be hard to find a better person, student, and athlete.  I sort of assume she isn't done yet, and we will see her name regarding the track team this spring. :)  It will be interesting to see how things shake out for the team next fall.

2006 Hope beats Depauw in regional final and goes on to win championship
2007 Depauw beats Calvin in regional final and goes on to win championship
2008 Calvin beats....? 

If they get there, it won't be a long commute for Calvin fans (although still longer than for Hope fans).

Welcome back to the board -- and just in time for the long off-season lull. ???

I've been lurking around, GK.  Just haven't had much intelligent to add from 800 miles away.  (not that that seems to always be a requirement) ::)

Lisa Winkle is one of the athletes featured in Sports Illustrated's "Faces in the Crowd" in the 8/27/07 issue.

Word on the men's discussion board is that Carrie Snikkers has enrolled at Hope (from Unity Christian).  She's still listed on the Oakland roster for 07-08, but apparently decided to come to Hope instead.  A 6'3" freshman center  - who was the Class B player of the year for 06.  If this is true, she would be a great addition for the Flying Dutch

She's an extraordinary talent and if she stays 4 years at Hope the Lady Dutch are all but certain to reach at least one Final Four (and likely more) during her time in Holland. In fact I'll go further than that and predict at least one more championship banner in Holland if she plays four years for Hope. She would mean as much to Hope's women's basketball of this generation as Mark Veenstra did for Calvin's men's teams of the 70's. That would be quite ironic considering both graduated from the same high school.

P.S.  I find it hard to believe she will play four years at the D3 level.
