    CALVIN SPORTS REPORT FOR September 20, 2002

    The road has been a tough place for the Knights to play over the past few
    years. Tonight, however, Calvin was able to rise above the tough playing
    conditions at Kalamazoo College and escape with a crucial league victory 21-30,
    30-18, 23-30, 30-27, 15-8.

    Calvin moves to 9-3 overall and 3-1 in the MIAA while Kalamazoo drops to 11-4
    overall and 3-1 in the MIAA. The Knight's lone loss in conference play came at
    the hands of Alma College, who currently sit atop the MIAA with a 10-3 overall
    and 5-0 league mark.

    Calvin was led by senior tandem Melissa Pell (Fremont) and Cassie Christopher
    (Fruitport) as each recorded 15 kills and two service aces. Pell also
    contributed four blocks while Christopher added a game-high 25 digs. Sophomore
    Kathy Brenneman (North Muskegon) also had a nice game off the bench amassing 12
    kills. Kara Kuipers (Unity Christian), a sophomore middle-hitter, also
    contributed nine kills. Junior Trisha Balkema (Illiana Christian) and senior
    Jessica Huisjen (Lansing Christian) both chipped in with 18 digs and three
    service aces. Senior setter Laura Tucker (Holland Christian) dished out a
    game-high 54 assists.

    Calvin will be in action again tomorrow (Saturday Sept. 21) as they host Albion
    at 1 PM in the Calvin Fieldhouse.
