MUSIC FOR THE PLANET— Chaplain Kate Davelaar kicks off Earth J a m on Friday, April 19. The celebration in the Kletz w a s the final event of H op e College’s Earth Week.

The A n ch or’s first interview was with N o a h M c La ren (T3), an English Literature major and Religion minor. T h e Anchor: W h a t ’s after graduation? Noah McLaren: I’m admitted at Western Theological Seminary, just next door, and will register for Fall classes within the week. A: Favorite m e m o r y ? N M : M o s t of m y favorite memories, not surprisingly, have to do with m y involvement with the Worship Team. It's been the

single most formative experience in m y H o p e College career, and it’s also the biggest thing propelling m e into seminary next year. I love playing with these people, and I'm so grateful for the opportunity to help lead this campus in worship. A Favorite class? N M : Probably m y FYS. It was the second day of classes and I got to go read and talk about C.S. Lewis with Professor Schakel and a bunch of other students, several of w h o m I’m still close to. Schakel’s class was pivotal in m y understanding of what it means to attend a Liberal Arts college'. I c a m e in thinking I would try pr em ed or business (so basically I w as directionless in terms of study, along with most of us). Dealing with The Chronicles of Narnia in essay form helped center m e in m y n e w identity as an English major going into a Divinity program (though admittedly I didn’t declare I was an English major until the Spring of m y sophomore year).

A: A n y unique squirrel experiences? N M : I went to high school at Black River just a few blocks away, so I k n e w campus pretty well. I also k n e w there was a Squabbit running -around somewhere (that is, a squirrel that’s missing its tail due to accident or intentional violence). I saw said Squabbit sometime during m y junior year of high school, but then the Squabbit disappeared. It re-emerged last Fall. I saw it in October. Either that, or w e got a n e w one. A: W h a t do you hope to be doing someday? N M I don’t k n o w what life will be like post-seminary. I m a y continue in worship ministry, or be called to something more pastoral, or maybe I’ll give in and try to get an English Ph.D. Whatever I do, I'm going to keep reading good literature and making music.

Both Reynolds to retire after this year Madalyn Muncy Co-Editor in Chief

The H o p e College community is losing two beloved, and longserving m e m b e r s of the faculty. William Reynolds, D e a n of the Arts and Humanities, and his wife, M a u r a Reynolds, associate professor of Latin and director of advising, will retire at the end of the academic year. Having c o m e to H o p e as a m e m b e r of the English faculty in 1971, William Reynolds has held a variety of roles. H e chaired the English department from 1987 until 1994, w h e n he was appointed dean. Since his appointment almost 20 years ago, the arts and humanities division has seen n e w and improved facilities, and the hiring of nearly 50 n e w faculty members. Over the 40 years he has been at Hope, Reynolds claims that though there has been the construction of n e w buildings and the constant flow of n e w students, it hasn't changed all that much.

“O n e w a y it hasn’t changed is the w a y that so m a n y people strive so m u c h of the time to m a k e H o p e student-centered, to help every student realize his or her m a x i m u m potential," said Reynolds. Reynolds has contributed to this student-centered focus. After he was appointed dean, he continued to teach courses in writing and world literature, the history of the English language, and British literature. H e currently co-teaches a Jane Austen course with Professor Peter Schakel, and says that he will continue to co-teach during the 2013-14 school year. When asked about his favorite Hope memory, Reynolds said he had a difficult time choosing. H e did say that he has never been m o r e proud of his affiliation to H o p e than w h e n the theatre department’s production of “Rose and the Rime" was performed at the Ke nn edy Center in Washington, D.C., in 2007. “I felt goose b u m p s all over at the start of the play. I re me mbe r

one of the actors saying from the stage, 'Here w e are at the Kennedy Center - little old H o p e College - h o w about that?’ or something to that effect,” said Reynolds. M a u r a Reynolds also could not choose a favorite H o p e memory, saying there are just “too m any" to choose just one. Joining the college in 1975, She has held several roles, including director of the Academic Support Center, Latin associate professor, coordinator for First Year Seminar, and n o w director of advising. Like her husband, Reynolds has appreciated the studentcentered approach at Hope. “M y favorite part about working at H o p e is easy - the people. I work in a studentcentered office. Students, faculty, staff, families— they're the favorite parts of m y work,” she said. The couple cited no big plans for the coming year of retirement; however, they both look forward to having mo re time to volunteer.

SO O N TO BE RETIREES— Mau ra and William Reynolds were honored for over 80 years of combined service to Hope. “W e ’ll stay in Holland, be able to say ‘yes’ to m o r e volunteer opportunities, and adjust to and enjoy this n e w phase of our lives,” said M a u r a Reynolds. “O u r plan this year was to wait till w e are actually retired and then m a k e plans.

Hope mourns death of Tod Gugino Courtesy of Hope PR Tod Gugino, long time director of chemistry laboratories and founder of the popular s u m m e r science camps for children at H o p e College, died on Saturday, April 20, after an extended illness. H e was 49. A m e m b e r of the staff for mo re than a quarter century, he is remembered as an indispensible colleague whose dedication and positive outlook inspired and added immensely to the experience of students not only at H o p e but across West Michigan. “Tod Gugino was central to the effective operation of Hope's chemistry teaching and research programs,” said Dr. William F. Polik, w h o is the Edward and Elizabeth H o f m a Professor of Chemistry and chairperson of the department at Hope. “H e always did m u c h mo re than was expected." “To d ’s optimism and encouragement inspired students to achieve mo re than they thought they could," Polik said. "He gave selflessly to H o p e College and also reached out to local schools and the community. W e will miss him immensely." Gugino, w h o was a 1985 H o p e graduate, joined the staff in 1986. H e developed the s u m m e r science-camp program in the latter 1990s, initially teaching the sessions and subsequently recruiting and supervising

H o p e professor relives B o s t o n experience Virginia B e a r d relates her firsthand perspective of the race to larger issues of national security, liberty Timothy Cook Staff W

riter

The Anchor sat down with Virginia Beard, Ph. D, of the Hope College Political Science Department, to get her perspective on the events of the last week. Beard was a participant in the 117th Boston Marathon, held Monday, April 15th. T h e Anchor: C a n you tell m e a bit about what brought you to the Boston Marathon? Dr. Virginia Beard: I took up long-distance running about three-and-a-half years ago. Thanks to m y colleagues w h o are in the Gazelle [Sports] running group, I c a m e to really enjoy it, and I initially ran a half marathon. I qualified for Boston at the Lansing Marathon. O n e of m y running partners had also qualified and w e registered and went to run. A: W o u l d you say the Boston Marathon is a prestigious run? VB: It’s the only marathon in the country you have to qualify to run in. A: W e r e there any security measures in place w h e n you started the run? VB: Yes, there were police along the course; they had dogs sniffing along the route ahead of time. The person I ended up running with had gone early to walk around, and they were checking along the course and from the start of the course. The security is pretty tight as far as trying to get to the athlete's village and to the starting corrals. Y o u have to have a runner’s bib to have access to those places. It felt very safe, as have all the runs I have done. A: So y o u weren’t expecting anything unusual? VB: No, I’ve run it once before. The person I ran with, this was his 12th time to run Boston and w e both were just having a good time. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary. A: A n d w h e n something out of the ordinary did happen, where were you? VB: W e were about two miles from the finish line w h e n the explosions happened. I was injured so I was running a bit slower and I ran with m y phone for the first time. W e were around mile 24 w h e n m y husband texted m e and said “something’s going on up here, there’s been an explosion.” A n d

then another mile or so later he said he didn’t think they would let us finish. W e were half a mile away w h e n they stopped us. A: Did you hear the explosion? VB: No, w e were too far out. W e got information in a sort of hit-or-miss, bizarre way. It took a while to understand what was going on. M y husband and m y running partner’s wife were near the Lennox Hotel, where the second explosion happened. They initially thought it might've been cannons or fireworks for Patriot’s Day, and then they heard the screaming and were told what was going on. A: D o you think the city of Boston was effective in informing the runners what had happened? VB: I think they did what they could do. There were a lot of people running with cell phones, so they could take pictures or text their family, especially the non-elites w h o aren’t in it to win it. W h e n they stopped us, w e were at the front of the group w h o had been stopped. A race marshal had a me ga pho ne and he had information from the finish line. Race volunteers soon c a m e out with Mylar blankets, although they didn’t have enough for all of us. They gave us water and stuff to keep us warm. I think they did the best job they could’ve done. A: A s a Political Science professor w h o experienced these events, would you say that because w e ’ve not had a terrorist attack post-September 11th, this event presents unique challenges? VB: Sure, m y personal opinion is that based on the attack and the timing of it, it is likely domestic terrorism. I think it's a one-off, a disgrunded citizen, but sometimes I think that our policy responses to security issues are too extreme. O n e person makes a shoe b o m b and shoes aren't allowed on a plane, one person makes a liquid b o m b so n o w liquids on planes are an issue. I think they [policymakers] need to consider, given the times w e live in, that this could happen at any other sporting event. The reality is you’re never going to eliminate security threats. If you fix one thing, some one will c o m e up with something else, so I don't think there needs to be any enormous changes. With the Boston Marathon, the most powerful part of the experience is w h e n you turn onto Boylston Street and it seems like the whole world is cheering for you. If you take that away, w e begin to sacrifice civil liberties and the enjoyment of life to enjoy a m o d i c u m of security. Dr. Jack

South Korea has been receiving these threats for decades, and oftentimes the general population does not heed the continuous threats.

The nuclear threats m a y be viewed as a cry for attention and financial aid. Last, in analyzing this issue from a relational stance, itwould be unlikely for a war to occur. A prevalent mentality a m o n g South Korean people isthat a war will not occur without American and Chinese involvement. Mo st South Koreans are confident in the United States serving as an ally, though this in itself could be seen in a controversial light. Nonetheless, U.S. support has decreased anxiety a m o n g South Korean people. During the Korean W a r (19501953), the U.S. supported South Korea while China c a m e to the aid of the North. Today, the U.S. e c o n o m y is tied with that of China, which has politically

placed China in an apprehensive position. The prime objective to be aware of is if a war were to ensue, it would involve m a n y countries w h o are economically tied together, and threats of a nuclear crisis have only strained China’s relationship with North Korea. In conclusion, the general population of South Korea is not concerned about this nuclear crisis.

The arts heat up: what to look for this s u m m e r With s u m m e r right around the corner, it is time to start thinking about what activities will fill up our sunny days. With the absence of papers, exams, quizzes, and creative writing classes, there Will be plenty of time to watch a couple of movies in the upcoming months. Music Christmas comes half a year early this year, as several talented artists will release anticipated (at least in m y mind) albums in M a y and June. She and Him, the duo m a d e up of M . W a r d and Zooey Deschanel, will be releasing their third album, “Vo lu me 3,” on M a y 7, adding to their impressive catalog of indie folk music. O n the same day, Vampire W e e k e n d will also release their third album, “M o d e r n Vampires of the City,” which looks like it will be a promising addition of lyric-

driven rock music. Brooklynbased band The National’s sixth album "Trouble Will Find Me,” will c o m e out on M a y 21, their first album since the already classic 2010 release “High Violet.” S o m e early reviews have hinted at the releases worthiness,,and it has been m a d e k n o w n that the likes of Sufjan Stevens, Annie Smith of St. Vincent and Sharon V a n Etten will all be making guest appearances on the album, stacking the deck toward greatness. Finally, the Icelandic Sigur R6s announced the release of their seventh album “Kveikur” earlier this year, which will be its first release without longtime member and keyboardist Kjartan Sveinsson. The release of the first single from the album, “Brennistein,” proves that this album will have a harder edge than last year’s “Valtari." - Leigh Clouse

“The Great Gatsby”

Open the “Stage Door”

Television This s u m m e r marks the end to perhaps this decade’s best television drama: “Breaking Bad.” The sixth and final season will begin on A M C on Sunday, Aug. 11. The sh ow follows an chemistry teacher, Walter White (Bryan Cranston), w h o discovers he has terminal lung cancer, and so to pay his hospital bills and keep his family from bankruptcy, he begins to cook meth with one of his former high school students, Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul), a low-rent drug dealer in their h o m e t o w n of Albuquerque, N e w Mexico. Last season marked Walter’s total transformation to the dark side: no longer is meth-making a w a y to keep his family out of poverty, but it is something that he enjoys, something that gives h i m power. A s he tells Jesse, “I’m in the empire business." The show, while a master of quiet, intensely emotional scenes between two characters, is also a s h o w that c o m m e n t s on the nature of humanity. W h e n “Breaking Bad” finally ends, television will not be the same without its tight plotting, daring storylines and brilliant ensemble acting. Other programs, take note: “Breaking Bad" is the epitome of great television. - Elena Rivera Film To all cinema aficionados, this summer, you will not want to miss “The Great Gatsby." Baz

“Breaking Bad"

L u h r m a n n will be directing the movie adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald's classic novel, “The Great Gatsby." Leonardo DiCaprio was casted as the mysterious and ambitious Jay Gatsby. This movie follows the life of Gatsby as narrated by Nick Carraway (Tobey Maguire). Gatsby is a wealthy m a n w h o is the n e w and secretive neighbor of Carraway in N e w York’s West Egg. After meeting Gatsby, Carraway facilitates his reunion with Daisy Buchanan (Carey Mulligan), a w o m a n Gatsby once loved but lost. Throughout the novel, m a n y secrets are revealed, m a n y declarations are voiced, and m a n y lessons are learned. This movie premiers M a y 15 and guarantees a great story line that will awaken an array of emotions that will range from anger and annoyance to kindness and sadness.

C o m e ready to relive this wonderful and classic love story. A n d do anticipate some interesting mo d e r n features, such as Jay-Z's artistic style since he will be producing the music for this film.

Perks of being a Hope College wallflower

Madalyn Muncy Co-Editor-in-Chief

Remember when... These days, as I look around H o p e and Holland, I’m nostalgic. I find myself saying, " R em emb er the time..." to m y friends all too much. I recently found a blog post from our old campus editor Brooke McDonald. She m a d e a list of the ways H o p e has changed her life, and I’m tempted to write an incredibly sappy piece along similar lines about h o w incredible m y H o p e experience has been and h o w different I a m from the freshman me, h o w I have been impacted by the people I have met and the experiences I’ve had. But I'm not going to do that. It's not that I don’t want to share with you all the wonderful things that have happened to m e in the past four years (and there’s been so m a n y wonderful blessings I .could tell you about), but I find myself looking backward mo re than I find myself looking forward. A s a history minor, or dare I say historian, I thoroughly understand the intricacies of h o w the past informs the present and the future, h o w w e must look back in order to understand w h o w e are and where w e ’re going. But w h e n you are looking back too much, you forget where you’re going. Perhaps out of fear and discomfort, you forget h o w exciting the next step is, h o w life is just beginning. A n d life is just beginning. So instead. I’m going to tell you what perhaps was the funniest m o m e n t of m y senior year. It was the night I c a m e back from fall break, a Tuesday. I had just fallen asleep and wo ke up to stomping. I live on the second floor of our house, so I thought perhaps one of m y first floor roommates was walking around. Peculiar, as they are always in bed early, but possible. W h e n Iheard m o r e stomping, I started to get concerned. The stomping continued up the^jSfiai^s and right outside rjjy 'f)^4fpom door.

Y o u ’re embarrassing yourself, H o p e College. I can say with 10 0% certainty that future m e m b e r s of our co mm uni ty will look back and call your policy foolish; they will see in it an inherent bigotry and cowardice; they will shake their heads and say regretfully that for too long a time, H o p e College stood on the wr on g side of history. Heck, the majority of students and faculty m e m b e r s would say that now. To say that your Statement on H u m a n Sexuality is behind the times is a gross understatement. I say “your," because though I - go to H o p e College, though I pay thousands u p on thousands of dollars every year to attend

this institution, though I take classes here, wo rk here, and over the past three years have m a d e a h o m e here, I refuse to beheve that the Statement is something my H o p e College would ever claim Tor itself.

♦ STATEMENT, f rom p a g e 8

Co-Editor in Chief I’m in a strange headspace as there are less than two weeks until graduation. I feel like these last two weeks are going to be like the finale of “Lost”:reunions with people I haven’t seen in a while, s o m e congregating in a church, s o m e crying, and a whole lot of unanswered questions as the credits roll on m y college experience. Like I said last week. I’m honestly not sure h o w I'm leaving Hope, and maybe right n o w that's okay. Here are the things I’m going to miss: My professors. Thanks for grabbing drinks with m e like I was an adult, thanks for listening to m e as a freshman even though I m a d e no sense, thanks for encouraging m e to think about things beyond the walls of the classroom. Thanks for all your kind words, for being m y cheerleading section w h e n I needed one. Thanks for seeing the potential in m e that I’m only n o w slowly seeing in myself. My friends. There will never be a day where hearing a Beyonce song or Katy Perry's “Firework” w o n ’t m a k e m e want to do a dance party in your honor. Being your friend has been the greatest blessing in m y life, and m y student debt because of all of our coffee dates (and alien brain hemorrhage shots) is so worth it.

F r o m the Study Abroad office to the Communication Department to W T H S to our Anchor offices, I have lived in that building this year. The w a y a Holland sunset looks on the beach. M y local church, Lakeshore Vineyard. The most encouraging, Thai Palace-obsessed, inspirational Christians I could have hoped to find.

and all it represents. M y H o p e College is brave. M y H o p e College is a Christian school that hosted a Critical Issues S y mp osi um about Islam. M y H o p e College is Dr. Green leading the Phelps Scholars year after year in having a dialogue about race. It’s young w o m e n sitting together in a classroom discussing eating disorders and rape and sexuality. It’s professors posting "Safe Zo ne” stickers on their doors to let their students k n o w that prejudice has no place in their H o p e College, either. The events of last Friday c a m e about because of fear. W h a t else could possibly drive an administration to break up an undeniably peaceful protest? Oh, but you say, H o p e is a Christian school. A n d as a Christian school, w e have a duty to uphold Biblical teaching and church tradition. All right, fair enough. But point m e to that verse in Leviticus that you so cling to, and I’ll point you to one a few chapters before that decries h u m a n contact with pig’s flesh. I’ve got to ask, have you released a statement affirming the dignity of all different kinds of meat, encouraging a continued scholarly dialogue about the morality of steak versus pork chops, while denying pork chop lovers any support or funding for their dietary preferences? Obviously not. That would be silly.

Beautiful feet Batman was wrong “It’s not w h o I a m underneath, but what I do that defines me." In Christopher Nolan’s first installment of Ba tm an Begins, Bruce W a y n e (Christian Bale) repeats this statement as he reveals his identity to his girlfriend Rachel Dawes. A n d while the line in itself sent chills d o w n m a n y peoples’ backs and is regarded as one of this last decade’s famous quotes, I can’t help but think that just this one time: Batman was wrong. Even so, today’s society probably likens to Batman's identity by actions mo re often than not. W h e n you meet some bod y n e w (after the hello, and where are you froms), you'll most likely ask them, “W h a t do you do?” In college, the most c o m m o n question is “what are you studying?” These days for seniors it’s: “what are your plans after graduation?” For any other

H o w about the fact that Calvin manages to support its L G B T Q students and still identifies as a Christian institution? W h a t about Christ's call to love our neighbors (and not just the straight ones!) as ourselves? So I a m angry. Angry that Hope's administration is so out of touch with not only the times, but with the will of its students and faculty members. Angry that I attend an institution arguably becoming more well-known for grappling with an issue that m u c h of the country has m a d e peace with years ago than for its rigorous academics. Angry that it seems there is no end in sight to our administration’s refusal to foster a welcoming, supportive atmosphere for its students. But I a m also hopeful. A group of students were willing to face the police on Friday to stand up for gay rights. H o w cool is that? I’m also hopeful that m y generation is the first to truly recognize the truth of this matter: gay rights are h u m a n rights. Those students protesting last Friday? They were our classmates, our co-workers, our first friends at this school. They were our roommates. They were our brother and sisters. I promise you, w h e n our generation is in charge, things will look a little different at this school and in this world. But right now? This is not m y H o p e College.

is a wonderful read. If you like the 80s, Transformers, classic arcade games and stories about a dystopian future America, then look no further.

Letter to the editor It has always seemed apparent to me that every school year since I began working on campus at the Kletz, that the student body and staffare friendly and cordial. Iwant to acknowledge how thankful Iam for the countless acts of kindness or words of encourage ment that many of you have shared with me and our staff. It is a main part of m y job to serve you but in that process many of you have been a blessing to me and our staff. I appreciate caring remarks such as: “Thanks so much!” “H o w are you?” “Have a nice day!” “Thank you M a ’am” and even “You’re the best!” Your smiles are also so very important be cause, as we exchange them, we send a posi tive message without even saying a word! So, in conclusion, I want to thank God for all of you because of the blessings I have received in serv ing you! YOU'RE THE BEST! -Dawn Meiste, Kletz Snack Bar employee

Students frustrated with budgets ♦ BUDGETS, from page 2 Ballet Club, Tara Snyder (T4), has had a better experience. “A s long as you go in with your budget figured out, there is nothing negative to deal with,” said Snyder. Snyder stresses the importance of knowing what is necessary within a budget before going into the hearing. “A s student leaders, it is our responsibility to k n o w what it is appropriate for your organization to ask for and Student Congress needs to understand that the individual needs of each organization will differ. W h a t is also important to re me mbe r is they [the committee] are only given a certain am ou nt of m o n e y to allocate, so they have to give according to need,” said Snyder. Kyle Mireles (’13), a cottage representative within Student Congress, explains the budgeting process for student organizations. “Student Congress has oversight over the Student Appropriations Committee; however, the committee is a stand-alone organization. The controller, the chair of our committee, has a dual position as the head of our committee as well as a sitting m e m b e r of the Cabinet of Student Congress.” Mireles goes on to explain that each student organization

on campus must submit a budget for review by the committee, and then must attend a budget hearing during Budgeting W e e k e n d which usual follows mid-winter break. “[During the hearing] they have the opportunity to defend their budget, identifying any changes in terms of fund requests or reductions. This also serves as an opportunity for the committee to ask questions specifically of an organization,” said Mireles. Though some student organizations are frustrated with the process, and others see no problem, Mireles assures that Student Congress and the Student Appropriations Committee are doing their best. “The Student Appropriations Committee does not ‘m a k e ’ the budgets for the student groups, rather [they] review and appropriate funding as is needed... w e always strive to keep the interests of the student body most closely at heart,” said Mireles. Munoz, w h o lacks the kind of budget d e e m e d necessary to produce a yearbook, does not k n o w what the answer will be. “The only solution I can offer [for Student Congress] is to b e co me mo re realistic,” said Munoz. It seems that for now, student organizations will remain on a tight budget.

The Flying D u t c h m e n secured two victories in a doubleheader against Albion at Boeve Stadium on Saturday. The wins launched H o p e to a 19-10 (13-5 M I A A ) record despite adverse weather conditions. Coach Stu Fritz’s team is n o w tied with Adrian at the top of the M I A A standings. “W e took two from Aquinas earlier in the we ek that gave us good confidence," Jordan Carrigan (’13) said. “W e were going in with a lot of confidence but k n e w w e were going- to have to earn it. Albion is a good squad. Nothing was going to be easy." In the first of two games on Saturday, the D u t c h m e n needed an extra inning to upend the Britons. T i m Bodine (T4) smacked a double in the first inning and eventually scored off a sacrifice fly from TJ Klein (’13). The teams remained scoreless until the fourth inning, w h e n Albion tied the g a m e at 1-1 in the top half of the inning. H o p e responded with two runs of their o w n in the bottom half. Klein scored on Chris Blair's (’14) RBI fielder’s choice. Alex Hu nt (T4) also touched h o m e on an error by Albion’s second baseman. Klein and Hunt both delivered hits in the inning. Albion rallied with three hits and two runs in the fifth inning, making the score 3-3. N o scoring ensued on either side through the seventh inning, sending the g a m e into extras. In the bottom of the eighth inning, Eric D a w s o n (’14) hit a one-out single and reached second on an error by the left fielder. Klein walked after Dawson, and Eric Vachon (’14) followed by reaching on a fielder’s choice, which put Klein out at second base.

SEND HIM H O M E — Eric D a w s o n (’14) keeps his eye on the play and advances h o m e for the game-winning run against Albion on Saturday. D a w s o n scored off an error by the Britons, giving the Dut chme n a 4-3 win in eight Innings. D a w s o n advanced to third on the fielder’s choice, and another Albion error gave the D u t c h m e n the 4-3 victory as D a w s o n scored the game-winning run on the Britons' misplay. H o p e had just four hits in the game, but the four Albion errors helped the D u t c h m e n ’s cause. Cory Schmidt (’13) started on the m o u n d for Hope, going 6.1 innings and striking out four Albion batters. Jordan Carrigan (’13) took over in relief, lasting the remaining 1.2 innings without giving up a run. Carrigan improved to 5-1 on the season. “I a m fortunate to get five wins," Carrigan said. “I have a lot of confidence with the players behind m e knowing they’ll m a k e plays. It allows m e to be comfortable on the mound, which has worked for me.” Bodine, Dawson, Klein and Hu nt contributed one hit apiece to the D u t c h m e n offense. Klein and Blair provided the RBI.

In the final g a m e of the doubleheader on Saturday, H o p e jumped on the Britons early with six runs in the first two innings. The D u t c h m e n produced a huge two-out rally in the second inning. Klein tripled h o m e three runners, and Vachon smashed a double to score Klein. H o p e went up 6-0 heading into the third. Albion put up one run in the top of the third. H o p e struck back in the bottom half by scoring their final run of the game. Brady VanderWeele (’16) hit an RBI double to score Ryan Konkle (T6). H o p e led 7-1 going into the final inning. Albion put on a late surge, scoring three runs in the seventh. The D u t c h m e n stopped the run and ended up winning 7-4. Currey T h o m a s (’15) posted his sixth win of the season for Hope, throwing 6.2 innings and striking out six. Matt Glowacki (’16) picked up his third save of

the season. VanderWeele went 2-2 with two runs and an RBI. Hunt had two hits and an RBI, while Vachon drove in two runners and Klein had three RBI. The D u t c h m e n (19-10, 13-5 M I A A ) will travel to A l m a on Thursday to take on the Scots in an M I A A matchup. “W e need to keep maintaining our focus throughout a doubleheader," Carrigan said. “W e also need to re me mbe r what our goals were as a team to begin the season. “W e wanted to win the M I A A , advance to regionals, and then to Appleton [College World Series]. So far w e are doing well.” UPDATE: Hope faced Albion in another doubleheader on Monday, April 22. The D u t c h m e n w o n the first g a m e 6-0, but dropped the second to the Britons 11-8. H o p e (20-11, 14-6 M I A A ) still remains tied in first with Adrian in the M I A A .

The Flying Dutch captured their second win in a r o w on Saturday against Albion. This leaves H o p e at 2-2 in the M I A A and 4-8 overall. Maddie Ferguson (’13) came out strong for Hope, and within the first two minutes put the Flying Dutch ahead 1-0. This was answered quickly by Albion with two goals, and H o p e lost the lead. With a high-scoring rally in the first half, H o p e was up 7-5. “W e k n e w that it would be a good match up and w e were excited to play Albion,” Ferguson said. “W e struggled in the first half to finish our transitions from defense to offense with a goal, but w e were able to turn that around in the second half.” The Flying Dutch started with fire in the second half, scoring five unanswered goals. With five minutes left in the second half, Emily Oliver (T6) fired one past the goalie, putting H o p e up nine goals. Albion struggled to keep up with the Flying Dutch, landing three mo re goals, but its efforts weren’t enough. H o p e closed out the g a m e 18-12. Ferguson broke her previous record of goals in a g a m e on Saturday by scoring nine goals on 12 shots. Other goal scorers for the Flying Dutch included Molly Greenfield (T5) and Katie Sabourin (T4) each with three, Heather Wierenga (T5) with two, and Oliver with one. Wierenga, Greenfield and Ferguson each were credited with an assist. Staying strong on offense and defense, H o p e had a total of 18 turnovers, while H o p e forced 26 Albion turnovers. “[Our defense’s] patience, communication, and fast feet were instrumental in slowing d o w n and preventing Albion from scoring,” Ferguson said. H o p e fired a total of 27 shots against Albion, outshooting them by three. The Dutch had a total of 14-23 clears while Albion totaled 6-10. “Albion has strong attack players but our defense was able to slow th em d o w n by doubling the ball and cutting off Albion’s passes to the middle for the quick shot,” Ferguson said. H o p e n o w averages 10.7 goals scored per g a m e and 23.9 shots. In goal for H o p e was Racquel Harrouk (T6) and Jessica Donnell (’14) with a combined five saves. Wi th two league games remaining, H o p e is tied for third in the conference with Albion. Today, Wednesday, April 24, H o p e will take on the Knights at h o m e at 4 p.m. “W e will need to c o m e out strong in the first half with a lot of intensity in order to play our g a m e and establish the lead [against Calvin]," said Ferguson.
