Fr. Jackie Short and Sr. Katie Manstrom celebrate Short's Goal
Halloween, no better day to wear Orange and Black. Kalamazoo and Hope College would face-off for the second time this season. The opening round of the MIAA tournament would see the #4 seed Hornets host the #5 seed Dutch with the winner advancing to play #1 seed Calvin in the MIAA semifinals. In the previous meeting this season Kalamazoo would beat the Dutch on a goal in the last minute of overtime from Freshmen Jackie Short. Short would again record the only goal of the game but wasted little time in registering the tally. In the 5th minute of play senior midfielder Katie Manstrom intercepted a Hope pass in midfield and played a ball behind the Hope backline which Jackie Short was able to control and calmly put behind the Hope goalkeeper. The majority of play would be at midfield with neither team seeing any great goalscoring chances in the remainder of the first half. In the second half both teams would not be able to convert a couple of quality opportunities and the Hornets would prevail 1-0. The loss ends Hope's season with a record of 8-9-1 (4-4-1) and Kalamazoo moves to 8-6-3 (6-2-1). Kalamazoo will play again on Tuesday, November 3rd in the MIAA tournament semifinals at Calvin College. Kick-off is set for 3pm.
GO HORNETS!!!
