Nothing is sweeter than revenge against an old nemesis, just ask the women's volleyball team.
Saturday night's victory over rival Hope not only secured a post-season berth but also avenged their humiliating defeat of just a month ago. Under the rules adopted this year for MIAA volleyball, only the team that wins the conference tournament receives an automatic bid to the NCAA Championships. Calvin, who swept conference play, would only get a bid if they won Saturday night. On the other hand, a Hope team that finished second in the league could steal an automatic berth if they won Saturday night. Although Calvin won the first two contests between the schools, in their most recent meeting the Flying Dutch soundly defeated Calvin.
