Women's Soccer to Host Trine in MIAA Tournament Semifinals

The Hope College women's soccer team will host Trine University in the MIAA Tournament semifinals on Tuesday, Nov. 4, at 6 p.m. at Van Andel Soccer Stadium.

Tickets can be purchased through the MIAA website or at the gate beginning at 5 p.m.

The second-seeded Flying Dutch finished runner-up during the regular season with a 6-1 league record, earning a first-round bye. Hope is 12-3-2 overall.

Third-seeded Trine (9-4-5) earned a rematch with the Flying Dutch after advancing on penalty kicks following a 1-1 double-overtime draw against sixth-seeded Adrian College on Saturday. The Thunder converted all five PKs to Adrian's four.

Hope won the first meeting with Trine this season, 3-0, on Oct. 11 in Angola, Indiana. Senior Lina Rea (Macomb, Michigan / Utica) scored twice for the Flying Dutch, and senior Ainsley Harris (Zeeland, Michigan / Holland Christian) added one goal. Junior goalkeeper Clara Feenstra (Hudsonville, Michigan / Hudsonville) recorded a four-save shutout.

This is the fourth consecutive season Hope and Trine have met in the MIAA Tournament semifinals at Van Andel Soccer Stadium. The last two meetings were decided by one goal, with the Flying Dutch winning 1-0 in 2024 and 2-1 in 2023. Trine topped Hope 3-0 in 2022 in Angola.

The Flying Dutch are 22-13-3 in MIAA Tournament matches, including an 11-8 record in the semifinals.

Tuesday's winner advances to face either top-seeded Calvin University or fourth-seeded Kalamazoo College in the Saturday, Nov. 8, championship match hosted by the highest remaining seed.
