The Flying Dutchmen snapped a four-game losing streak when they started MIAA league play, and have now tallied three consecutive victories, the most recent on Tuesday against Calvin University with an 8-1 win. Both Calvin and Hope entered the matchup undefeated in league play. 

Hope has improved to 3-0 in MIAA league play, and 5-8 overall.

The Flying Dutchmen followed that up with a sweep of the singles flights.
