Hope women are hosting!!!!!

Hope plays Carnegie Mellon in the first round.  The only common opponent this year was Bethany, WV.  CMU won December 7th at Bethany 70-57 with top 6 players in the CMU rotation all playing 27 or more minutes.  Hope hosted Bethany on November 21 and blew them out 102-44 with no starter playing more than 17 minutes and all 13 on the roster playing at least 10 minutes.

Based on this one game it would be easy to assume Hope could win comfortably.  However CMU plays in the UAA, arguably the top league in the country, and has had tough games virtually every night during their conference season.  I expect them to play Hope tough.  Plus they boast 6' 1" F/C Lisa Murphy who led the nation in FG % at 75%  (!!!!) and averaged 23/11.  Could be a real headache especially if McAfee gets into foul trouble.

Stat comparison of Hope & Carnegie Mellon.  Side note - the largest crowd CM has played in front of this year was 515, so hat they encounter on Friday night could be a bit intimidating.

Sad to have such a heartbreaking loss end such a good season by the Dutch.  Maura and Autumn end their careers at Hope with a pretty special 4 years, accumulating a record of 108-10.  Maura's name will be in the career top10 record books for a long time:

#3 in Points (1409)
#2 in FG Made (566)
#3 in FG Attempts (1145)
#3 (tied ) in FT Made (268)
#7 in FT Attempts (375)
#1 in Total Rebounds (1047)
#1 in Def Rebounds (682)
#3 in Off Rebounds (365)
#2 in Blocks (166)
#3 (tied) in Steals (222)

And 44 career double-doubles

Any update on the search for a new Calvin women's bbal coach?

Calvin's new women's coach

I am probably going to call him "Babe" by accident a few dozen times.

He's a good program builder and did a nice job at Hendrix and Millsaps. It doesn't sound like he has any connection to that area, though. Will that impact Calvin's recruiting?

By the way, Millsaps played at the D3hoops.com Classic last year, but was probably gone before the Calvin men arrived. Here's our recorded interview with Calvin's new head coach.

Winkelman has no Calvin connection at all, but it seems unlikely to me that recruiting to the school will be a problem. John Ross had no previous connection to Calvin either. Winkelman is a very experienced D3 coach with a great resume and moved to the head of a very large class to win the job. Over 100 applications were received and while many of them undoubtedly weren't worth looking at, that kind of interest tells me there were plenty of good choices. Given that AD Jim Timmer was involved in the hiring process and has a daughter who will play for the new coach, I have to believe this is a great hire.

Trine's WBB 2016-17 roster:

http://www.trinethunder.com/sports/wbkb/2016-17/roster

Return 4 starters from MIAA tournament runners up last year:

Hayley Martin - 2nd team MIAA
Brandi Dawson - 2nd team MIAA
Taylor Cole
Ashley Elliott

Shelby Oldham, Montana Martin, and Cassidy Williams all played a lot last year as freshmen.

6 newcomers to the roster, 3 transfers and 3 freshmen.  I've seen Tashayla Sutorious play a couple times in Fort Wayne against my niece's team.  She can hoop!  I think she had at one time committed to Chicago State.  Kayla Freeman, I've seen some videos, pretty impressive.  And I've heard good reports about Katy Steers. 

Should be a deep team, maybe one that can break up the Hope/Calvin domination this year?  Can't wait to see them play, along with the Trine MBB team.  Exciting things happening at Trine U.
