Hope outlasted Alma College, 79-77, in double overtime to give Morehouse his 700th victory in 795 games. Mark Campbell of Union University (Tenn.) women's basketball previously held the collegiate record of 700 wins in 811 games, which included wins at the NCAA, NAIA and National Christian Collegiate Athletic Association levels. Kim Mulkey of Louisiana State women's basketball previously held the NCAA record of 700 wins in 813 games.

The Flying Dutch won 25 games at DeVos Fieldhouse during back-to-back undefeated seasons in 2019-20 and 2020-21. They contributed to a school-record 61-game winning streak over three seasons. It was one of the longest winning streaks in NCAA DIvision III women's basketball history.

The first Flying Dutch game at the DeVos Fieldhouse was a 94-55 victory over Edgewood, Wisc. on November 19, 2005. The game, part of a doubleheader with the men's team, was watched by 3,154 fans, a record for a Hope home women's basketball game. The first basket was scored just three seconds into the game when Jordyn Boles hit a jumper with an assist credited to Bria Ebels. Jordyn Boles led the Dutch with 17 points. The Flying Dutch made 10 three-point baskets led by Sarah Jurik's 4-for-4 performance. 

The Flying Dutch posted a 14-0 record in their inaugural season (2005-06). Hope's basketball teams (women and men) were undefeated on their new home floor (32-0). 

Senior All-American Bria Ebels was the picture of perfection in a 91-66 victory over Saint Mary's on February 18, 2006. She scored 23 points behind 6-for-6 shooting, including 5-for-5 from three-point territory, and was 6-for-6 on free throws.

Sophomore Carrie Snikkers established DeVos Fieldhouse records with an amazing double-double of 27 points and 23 rebounds (in 27 minutes) as the Flying Dutch defeated Cornerstone in a showdown of nationally-ranked teams, 76-69, on December 13, 2008. She already had her double-double at halftime, scoring 19 points and grabbing 12 rebounds in 14 minutes of court time.

The Flying Dutch surpassed 100 points at DeVos for the first time on February 1, 2006 in a 103-67 victory over Adrian. They have reached triple digits15 times at DeVos Fieldhouse, including a Division III record and school-record 143 points during a 143-57 win vs. Geneva (Pa.) at DeVos Fieldhouse during the 2022-23 season opener and an MIAA Tournament record 115 points during a 115-55 win vs. Kalamazoo College at DeVos Fieldhouse in a 2021 MIAA Tournament first-round game.

A 77-game home floor winning streak came to an end on March 5, 2011 when the Flying Dutch bowed to Washington-St. Louis, 56-52, in an NCAA tournament game.

Ella McKinney's career-high 31 points during an 89-77 victory against 13th-ranked Wisconsin-Eau Claire on Nov. 19, 2022, broke the DeVos Fieldhouse record. McKinney also set a fieldhouse record with 11 field-goals made during the game.

Brittany Berry's career-high 28 points during a 76-68 win against Chicago set a DeVos Fieldhouse record for points in a game by a Hope player. She also tied the school record with seven 3-pointers in the game and broke the DeVos Fieldhouse record for 3-pointers in a game by a Hope player.

Senior forward Maura McAfee set a DeVos Fieldhouse for points by a Hope player with a career-high 29 during a 76-55 win against Olivet on Wednesday, January 27, 2016. McAfee made 11 field goals and seven free throws for her 29 points. She also grabbed 13 points for her eighth double-double of the season.  

Mandy Traversa's career-high 28 points during an 88-62 win against Albion on  January 7, 2015, matched Brittany Berry's DeVos Fieldhouse record for points in a game by a Hope player. The performance came the next home game and 25 days after Berry's performances.

The Flying Dutch strung together 38 consecutive points at DeVos Fieldhouse to cruise to a 90-57 victory against Adrian on January 2, 2016. The dominant stretch started one minute into the second quarter and lasted through the first 2 1/2 minutes of the third quarter.
