CALVIN SPORTS REPORT FOR SATURDAY September 28, 2002
WOMEN'S SOCCER
Calvin finished off an impressive week by downing Alma College on Saturday by a
score or 4-0. Earlier in the week Calvin defeated the regionally-ranked Albion
Britons 4-3 in overtime. With Hope's 3-2 overtime victory over Saturday, the
Knights move into a first place tie with the Flying Dutch with a 3-1 conference
mark.
The Knights and Scots played to a first half tie before Calvin broke loose for
four second half goals. Calvin struck twice in a two-minute span as senior
Tricia Dyk (Western Michigan Christian) stole a pass at midfield and went the
distance to notch her seventh goal of the season. Calvin's second goal came off
the feet of senior midfielder Stephanie Kooima (Unity Christian) as she garnered
a pass from Dyk and deposited the ball into the side of the goal at the 59:33
mark. Calvin's third goal of the game was scored by Dyk on an assist from
freshman Noell Berghuis (Unity Christian). The speedy Berghuis led a strong rush
up the right side and after beating an Alma defender to the inside, she slid the
ball to Dyk, who made no mistake in converting the goal. Calvin's last goal was
scored by sophomore back Kristen Carlson (Sante Fe Christian) on a penalty kick
with only 1:22 left in the match
With her two goals and one assist on the afternoon, Dyk boosted her career
total to 64 goals, 35 assists and 163 points. Dyk is second on the all-time
Calvin list in goals and points and just two assists shy of the second place
mark held by Kristin Penzotti-Mast. In addition, Dyk now has career MIAA
(conference games only) total of 46 goals, 27 assists and 119 points. Dyk is
now fifth on the all-time MIAA list in goals, eighth in assists and tied for
fifth in points.
Calvin returns to action on Wednesday afternoon, traveling to Olivet College
for a 4:00 p.m. matchup.

Calvin got back on the winning track with a 2-1 victory at Alma Saturday
afternoon as the Knights handed the Scots their first league defeat of the year.

Veldhouse (Sioux Falls, SD) with freshman Levi Kool (Holland Christian HS)
drawing an assist on the play. The goal was the 10th of the year for
Veldhouse.
Alma (4-6-0 overall) came back to knot the score 1-1 on a goal by Jamie Shooks
in the 66th minute of play, setting up a dramatic finish. With under five
minutes left in regulation, Veldhouse sent a cross from the right wing into the
Alma box. Calvin junior David DeBoer (Western Michigan Christian High School)
was able to race underneath the ball and head it into the back of the net for
his fourth goal of the year. The DeBoer goal came with just 4:57 left on the
clock.
The Knights made the one-goal margin hold up to collect the key road win.

VOLLEYBALL
Springfield, OH—Calvin dropped a pair of matches at the rugged Wittenberg
Invitational on Saturday to finish fourth in the eight-team field. Calvin
opened the day with a stiff 30-26, 30-22, 30-25 defeat against nationally-ranked
Wittenberg University. Calvin was led by senior Melissa Pell (Fremont) as she
tallied 13 kills and three kills. Sophomore Kara Kuipers (Unity Christian High
School) also checked in with 12 kills and three blocks while sophomore Kathy
Brenneman (North Muskegon HS) recorded eight kills and four blocks. Senior
setter Laura Tucker dished out 26 assists and junior libero player Trisha
Balkema (Highland, IN) had 21 digs.
The Knights then dropped a hard-fought 28-30, 30-28, 30-17, 30-20 decision to
regionally-ranked Carnegie Mellon. The contest was a rematch of a first round
NCAA III Tournament match a year ago. In the NCAA III Tournament meeting
between Calvin and Carnegie Mellon, Calvin was handed a 30-23, 30-26, 30-23
defeat. On Saturday afternoon, Calvin picked up a narrow 30-28 win in game one
but then lost by the same score in game two. Carnegie Mellon then picked up the
momentum to close out the match.
Pell led Calvin in defeat with 2 kills while Brenneman had nine kills and
Kuipers eight kills. Tucker amassed 44 assists and picked up two service aces
while Kuipers also had three aces and a team-high four blocks. Balkema also
came up with 15 digs.
Calvin will now prepare to host rival Hope Wednesday night at 6:30 p.m. at the
Calvin Fieldhouse. The match will be broadcast via real audio over the Calvin
web site at: www.calvin.edu/sports

the Knights fired a fourth place score of 373 strokes at an MIAA tournament
hosted by Hope at the Winding Creek Golf Club.
Freshman Anne Prins (Unity Christian HS) led the Knights with a career-best
score of 89 while former high school teammate Anne Huizenga (Unity Christian HS)
