COACHES COMMENT: Head Coach Austin Huizenga-"I really liked our competitiveness. We had some penalty troubles in the 2nd where we generated zero offense. My message in the third was to go out and make it a game, and send a message for the next night. Fortunately, we scored to make it a one goal game, but gave up one more. Disappointing to lose, but happy with how we regrouped for the third."

NEXT UP: Calvin faces Hope again on Saturday night November 18th at Hope College. The game will be at 7:30 PM in Holland, Michigan.
