Great start to the season by the Flying Dutch winning two games in Wisconsin against good teams. Calvin lost to those same two teams, but I noticed that Pre-Season AA Anna Fernandez didn't play in either game for the Knights.  Is she injured?

Hope beats Colorado College by 24, which beats Calvin by 3, which beats Ohio Wesleyan by 25 . . . making Hope a 52 point favorite against Ohio Wesleyan? . . . to which it loses by three . . . a demonstration of the unpredictability that makes sport fun, and is why the only comparison that counts is head-to-head on the court.

Hope with a nice opening MIAA win (earliest ever MIAA win perhaps) over Alma 85-59.  Hope is quite a young team.  5 games into the season, there are 8 players averaging double digit minutes: 2 Sr, 2 Jr, 3 So, and 1 Fr.

The win was also Hopes 1000th all time win in women's basketball!!  Record stands at 1000-355 - 0.738 win percentage

Hope's minutes weighted Class Year is 2.54, so right between a Soph and a Junior. They are the 140th youngest team in D3.

Oldest team is Mass-Dartmouth, at 3.98.
