The Calvin volleyball team is off to a good start, a very good start. The Knights have run off to a 4-0 record, but even more impressive is the fact that they have yet to lose a game inside those matches. Calvin knocked off Kalamazoo College (3-1) in the championship game of the Dominos-Radisson Volleyball Invitational 30-17, 30-28, 30-17. The Knights were led by Cassie Christopher (Fruitport) who notched 12 kills while fellow senior Melissa Pell (Fremont) 
added 11 kills. Laura Tucker (Holland Christian) shelled out 40 assists and Trisha Balkema (Illiana Christian) had 15 digs. Both Pell and Tucker were named to the All-Tournament team. 

In the first match of the day Calvin knocked off Manchester in three straight games 30-27, 30-11, 30-26. A steady Calvin attack was led by Christopher, who 
checked in with eight kills and five aces. Kristin DeGroot (Central Valley Christian) added seven kills while Kathy Brenneman (North Muskegon) and Pell each chipped in six kills apiece. Tucker dished out 29 assists and amassed four aces. Balkema, playing the role of the libero, picked up 15 digs. Calvin will return to action September 4 as it kicks off the MIAA portion of its season, traveling to Alma College for a 6:30 pm match.
