COACHES COMMENT: Head Coach Josh Petrusma, "This was a challenging weekend for our group. We're still learning how to be more consistent and to stay committed to our identity and play game in and game out. We bounced back on Saturday with a strong performance against Davenport, but the weekend overall wasn't to the standard that we've set for ourselves. We're looking forward to our midweek matchup vs Aquinas to show we can play to our standard two games in a row."

NEXT UP: Calvin's next game will be on Wednesday Dec, 10th at 5pm. The game will be at home against Aquinas College.
