Just learned that on the men's side #2 Trine is traveling to play #1 Randolph Macon on Sunday.  Kind of a defacto national championship.

Would love to see the Hope women get a similar opportunity versus East Texas Baptist.

Would love to see that.  Wasn't there some chatter along those lines a couple weeks back?  ETBU still has their conference tournament this Sunday/Monday..

The Trine-RMC game has been in the works for a while.  Not sure how long it's been fully confirmed - I suspect the announcement was timed so as not to detract from the ODAC tournament, which seems like a very classy move.

Hope worked quite a bit to try to get something together in the form of a tournament for this past weekend, but with many conferences changing their dates because of the pandemic, it takes some additional flexibility to put a postseason event together and it sounds like that flexibility wasn't possible.

Well that's disappointing - of course we are all used to that unfortunately.  Glad they at least made the effort to get it to happen.  Sounds like many schools aren't open to having their teams travel anywhere that would require an overnight stay.

Since it appears the season is actually done (was holding on to the Hope of 1 or 2 more games), I will share the following about this Hope Senior class.  Team details first - since they are such a great example of team play (will post some individual stuff later):


Team (17-18 - 20-21)     Won   Lost     %
Overall record      98       0.933
Home      52       0.929
Away      37       0.925
Neutral      12       1.000
MIAA play      52       0.945
Rivalry      11       1.000
MIAA Tournament      8       0.889
NCAA Tournament      6       0.750

Just fabulous results, but I think the following may be even more remarkable (certainly points to a class full of contributors):


    Min   Max     Avg
Total Games Played      39   105      81
Minutes Per Game      10.0   22.8      15.8

9 seniors who played in a total of 748 games, and the lowest minutes per game was 10, and they averaged 15.8 min per game per player as a class!!

Thanks for pulling this together.  Remarkable achievements for the senior class but also a testament to the remarkable depth and balance typical of Coach Morehouse's teams and his coaching style that utilizes the entire roster.  You'll probably never see a Dutch player near the top of any NCAA individual stats when no one plays much more than 20 minutes a game.  Great team concept.

According to multiple reputable sources, Sydney Muller and Olivia Voskuil are living together in an apartment in downtown Holland and intend to both return next year and use their additional year of eligibility. Oddly enough, their other roommate is graduated Calvin goalie Amy Kliewer.

In my extremely biased opinion, the return of these these two puts Hope right into the national championship contender conversation once again.

Actually, the news above is even better.  Heard from a very reliable source that another senior starter from last year is also coming back for that extra year.  Should be a great season!

I heard similar too, but have yet to hear it from a source reliable enough I was wiling to pass on via this public forum :)
