Fourth-ranked Calvin College traveled to the hostile environment of Kalamazoo College and remained undefeated on the season with a 1-0 victory. Coming into this match, Calvin (10-0-1 overall, 5-0 MIAA) had not come away from Kalamazoo (3-6 overall, 1-3 MIAA) with a victory since 1999. 

Joel Veldhouse (Sioux Falls Christian) scored the match's only goal in the 65th minute when he received a pass from Joel Vande Kopple (Grand Rapids Christian) and volleyed it off a hop just over the goalkeeper's head. Veldhouse has scored ten goals in the last six games, including two hat-tricks. 

Calvin won the shooting battle 17-8, but junior Joe Westra (Grand Rapids Christian) turned away a couple of strong opportunities from the Hornets in the second half, having to make two great saves to achieve his eighth shutout of the season and 19th of his collegiate career. Westra's first big save came in the 54th minute of the match as he recovered to make a spectacular kick-save on a rebound shot by Kalamazoo's Evan Wright. In the 71st minute, Westra made a leaping deflection on a header by Kalamazoo's Nick Houdek that appeared destined for the back of the net. Calvin sophomore Nate Kooi (Lynden Christian HS) also came up with a big defensive stop in the second half, clearing a bouncing ball from the goal-line on a shot that had slipped by Westra. 

Calvin has now gone 532 minutes and 12 seconds without giving up a goal, dating back to September 14th when Calvin traveled to Ohio Northern six matches ago. 

Calvin will host Olivet College this Wednesday at 4:00 p.m. with the internet broadcast beginning at 3:55 p.m.
