Calvin improved to 24-6 overall and 11-2 in the MIAA with a three-game victory 
over league foe St. Mary's College 30-23, 30-27, 30-21. The victory also marks 
the fifth time in the last seven years that the Knights have reached the 24-win 
plateau. In the last seven years Calvin has compiled a 171-63 (71%) overall mark 
and a 75-14 (84%) advantage in league games. 

Leading the way for the Knights were the middle-hitter duo of senior Melissa 
Pell (Fremont) and sophomore Kara Kuipers (Unity Christian), as each garnered 
eight kills apiece. Kuipers added four service aces and Pell notched five 
blocks. Senior setter Laura Tucker (Holland Christian) dished out 29 assists 
while sophomore Kristen DeGroot (Tulare, CA/Central Valley Christian) had 10 
digs. 

With only one league game remaining Calvin has cemented itself in second place 
and will be the second seed in the upcoming MIAA tournament. The tournament 
which runs from November 5-9 will consist of the top four seeds hosting first 
round games, with the highest remaining seed after the first round hosting the 
semi-finals and finals. The Knights will round out their regular season with a 
conference match with Hope on Saturday, November 2 at 1:00 p.m.
