COACHES COMMENTS: "Tonight we ran into a buzz saw," said Calvin head women's basketball coach Mark Christner. "Unfortunately we never got our feet under us. I want to thank our three seniors, (student assistant coach) Lex Thomas, Sydney Houlemard and Kara Minderhoud for their outstanding contributions to our program. We had a really nice year with plenty of growth. It always hurts when you don't play well in the last one. So, we'll own it and move forward improving in the coming months to get ready for 20-21. Go Knights."
