UNDATED (WHTC-AM/FM) – Kenedy Schoonveld and Sydney Muller each scored 11 points as Hope College won the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association women’s basketball tournament title with a 64-54 win over visiting Trine University at DeVos Fieldhouse on Saturday. It was the 45th straight victory for the Flying Dutch, setting a new program record, and the Orange and Blue concludes a 16-0 season, as the National Collegiate Athletic Association will not sponsor a Division III women’s basketball championship tournament in 2021, citing lack of sufficient participating schools.
