Planning on spending the weekend in Ohio watching the Dutchmen kick off their season against Denison and #25 Kenyon.  I think Hope also has a pretty tough pre-conference schedule.

Good luck to the Dutchmen! Kenyon should be a pretty good test.

Dr. Zuidema was a great man, and the impact that he has had on hundreds of Calvin students over the years will last well into the future.

For many small colleges over  the years, it is guys like this who have really helped build tradition. And that tradition often serves as the foundation for future success.

Calvin lost to Rochester U 3-1 last night.  Calvin had 15 shots, with 6 on goal, to Rochester's 10 and 5. The only freshmen to play were strikers Dino Duratovic and Travis Vegter. Vegter had 2 of Calvin's 6 shots on goal.

Calvin didn't give up 3 goals in any game last year, and they gave up 2 goals only once.

Hopefully this game will be a wake-up call for the Knights. I have know doubt they will rebound.

Scots looked very impressive in a 3-0 win over a talented Holy Cross team. The defense looked shaky at times but Graham made some amazing saves at GK including a PK in the second half. Cameron Alman scored 2 and looked good, but slow.....

Hope and Denison finish in a 1-1 overtime tie in 100 degree temps. Lots of cramping on both sides.

Another OT game in the extreme heat today. This time Hope won 1-0 over Kenyon on a David Whitaker header. It was a beautiful play at the far post directly on a throw-in from Grant Neil. 2 games in, we're 1-0-1 - a successful weekend.

That's a great result for the Dutchmen. Kenyon is usually a pretty strong program. I would have guessed that Hope would have beat Denison, do you think the heat affected the outcome?

I know the heat was an issue both days for both teams. From what I saw, Denison is a better team - defensively and is more aggressive - than Kenyon. Kenyon allowed Hope to do whatever they wanted on the midfield.

Calvin comes back to smack John Fisher 5-0 after a disappointing 3-1 loss in their first game

Big weekend for the MIAA this weekend. Hope and Calvin travel to the Chicago area for big games against Dominican. I'm predicting a tough weekend for Dominican. I think Hope will prevail 1-0, and Calvin will hit on all cylinders with a 2-0 win.

The knights defeated Aurora 1-0 last night, out-shooting Aurora 13-7. However, both teams had 6 shots on goal and Calvin needed 6 saves to blank them. Good job by keeper Dolan.

Hope fell to Dominican 2-0.

Here are the 2010 Massey ratings:

Dominican #13
Calvin #23
Hope #71
Aurora #123

Tomorrow Hope plays Aurora and Calvin plays Dominican. A 2-0 result for Calvin against the Dominics would of course be wonderful, but I suspect it's going to be a difficult game with Dominican a slight favorite.

Well, I didn't do so well in my predictions about Hope and Calvin. :-\  I only missed the 2 games by a combined 8 goals, so anything I say should probably be taken with a grain of salt. I was at the Calvin-Dominican game and even though they lost 3-0 Ithink they were the better team. I know, excuses excuses blah blah blah!  In spite of the score Calvin did play very well. They need to improve their communication and put together more creative combinations in the front third if they want to contend with the top teams. They have the talent, and I wouldn't want to play them when and if they put it all together.
Dominican did play a strong defensive game and was very dangerous in transition. Theyalso have a freshman up front (#18) who is a very dangerous player and scored the 1st goal.
