Volleyball Plays In Front of Biggest Crowd in Division III, Falls to Calvin

The 17th-ranked Hope College volleyball team dropped a rematch with third-ranked Calvin University in three sets on Friday in front of a DeVos Fieldhouse crowd of 2,931.

The attendance is the largest for a Division III women's volleyball match this season. The total surpassed the previous high of 1,506 for the September 28 Hope at Calvin match.

"This crowd was absolutely incredible," head coach Becky Schmidt said. "The Holland community coming out tonight and filling this place was absolutely inspiring. I am so thankful."

The Flying Dutch fell to 19-6 overall and the 25-15, 25-12, 25-19 defeat. The match did not count toward the MIAA standings.

Hope's next match is Wednesday, Oct. 26, at 6:30 p.m. DeVos Fieldhouse. The Flying Dutch can clinch the No. 2 seed in the MIAA Tournament and a first-round bye with a Senior Day victory. 

Sophomore outside hitter Annie Lockett (Mason, Ohio / William Mason HS) topped Hope with eight kills.

Senior outside hitter Emma Post (Hudsonville, Michigan / Hudsonville) and sophomore middle blocker Alison DeWeerd (Kentwood, Michigan / South Christian) chipped in six and five kills, respectively.

Calvin (20-3) recorded 45 kills to the Flying Dutch's 25 and outhit Hope, .294 to .083.

Heidi Westra led the Knights with 14 kills. Tori Roskamp registered 13 kills with a match-high .722 hitting percentage.

"We made things really easy for them," Schmidt said. "When we stretched their defense, we got into situations where our defense was able to play and challenge. But if either served them easy, gave them an easy off-speed shot, or just hit it right at them, they were able to dig it and transition really effectively."
