COACH'S COMMENT: "Extremely proud of the whole group for stepping up to the challenge down the stretch and each pulled off crucial shots to secure the win," Calvin head coach Jerry Bergsma said. "It was tight all day long so to be able to finish strong and pull ahead against a good Hope squad was very encouraging for our group. Brooke (Haney) and Andrea (Diemer) were both on the Tournament Team to lead us but everyone contributed to the final result."
