| Simpson women win 13th in a row Simpson extended its school-record winning streak to 13 Friday night with a 89-70 defeat of Upper Iowa in an IIAC game. Six Storm players scored in double figures led by senior Kristy Norman who scored 16 points and hit the daily double with a career-high 10 rebounds. Sophomore Abbie Archibald came off the bench with 14 points. Freshman Michelle Stover scored 12 points while senior Jamie Rustad added 11.
The game was marred by the ejection of UIU coach Bill Wilson midway through the second half. Wilson received his second technical and was tossed for arguing a foul call on Vicky Ringenberg. Ringenberg fouled out, Wilson was ejected moments later.
Arielle Beck led the Peacocks (7-5, 4-3) with 20 while Ringenberg was a perfect 10-for-10 from the free throw line to finish with 16 points. Simpson improved to 13-1 (9-0). |

| | Western Maryland women improve to 12-1 Senior forward Kathi Snyder led all scorers with 24 points to help the host Western Maryland women's team to a 58-54 Centennial Conference victory against Washington College on Jan. 21.

| | King's Colyer ends season with knee injury King's received devastating news Jan. 20 that senior point guard Elaine Colyer, who suffered a knee injury during the team's trip to the Bahamas two weeks ago, will be lost for the remainder of the season, ending one of the most prolific careers in school history.
Colyer injured her right knee in the opening minutes of a 67-62 loss to William Paterson Jan. 5. She was originally thought to be out two to three weeks, but after beginning a vigorous daily three-hour rehab program, an arthroscopic procedure revealed a complete tear of the ACL. Colyer underwent reconstructive surgery to repair the damage.
One of 10 finalists for last year's inaugural Josten's Trophy as the Division III "Player of the Year," Colyer started 79 of her last 80 games at King's and concluded her career ranked as King's fifth all-time leading scorer with 1,167 points while standing first wth 446 assists.
"Elaine is a great person and has been a tremendous asset to our team. It is a tragedy that a person of her caliber on and off the floor has something like this happen to her," King's coach Bryan Whitten said. "She has been our team leader and was one of the main factors in our rebuilding this program back to a high level. People will look back at her career years from know and know that she was a major part of King's College women's basketball. . . She will truly be missed."
Since Colyer's injury, King's (9-5) has lost three of five games. |

 Tony Mennito was on the mark from beyond the arc for Susquehanna. |
Susquehanna tops D-II Bloomsburg -- again Threes were the charm for the Susquehanna University men's basketball team as the Crusaders shocked Division II Bloomsburg for the second straight season -- this time in Bloomsburg's Nelson Fieldhouse, 72-68. Wearing No. 3, Crusader senior small forward Tony Mennito hit a career-high seven treys while scoring a game and career high 25 points to lead his team to just its third victory of the season and third against their D-II neighbors in the last four meetings. Mennito's heroics led Susquehanna in a 13-for-23 night from beyond the three-point arc.
Monday's game ended the current three-year series with the Huskies and produced an upset even greater than Susquehanna's 75-73 home win last season. The Crusaders improved to 11-3 last season with that win, while this season's team is now just 3-9 after winning for the first time in seven road games this season. Bloomsburg fell to 9-6.
"He's (Mennito) had big nights before. The things that I've noticed with Tony is that it's either right out of the blocks -- the first five or six minutes of the game -- or else he waits until the second half," said Susquehanna coach Frank Marcinek. "Tonight, he had one field goal in the first half and in the second half, really got it cranked up and really took the game over."
The teams were deadlocked at 68 with 2:13 left when freshman forward Corey Green put Susquehanna ahead for good, taking a nice pass from Jarrod O'Neill for a layup and a 70-68 lead. Bloomsburg missed back-to-back shots to tie, and then with the shot clock running down, sophomore point guard Shawn Munford fouled Susquehanna's best free throw shooter in senior guard Sean Breckley, who calmly sank both shots with :16 left to give his team the final margin of victory. |

| | Calvin ends 10-game streak in rivalry with Hope By Pat Coleman D3hoops.com
Calvin dominated the second half with a 20-2 run and defeated Hope 74-56 before a full house of approximately 4,500 at Calvin, ending Hope's streak of 10 consecutive wins in college basketball's biggest rivalry.
Trailing 42-32 at the half and 44-32 after the second half's first possession, Hope used a 15-4 run to cut Calvin's lead to one, keyed by three-pointers from Mark Bray, Craig Veldman and Kyle VanderWall. VanderWall's three, however, with about 15 minutes left in the half, was the last field goal the Flying Dutchmen would score until a Kyle Phelps three-pointer with 25 seconds left.
Calvin's run was keyed by sophomore forward Brian Krosschel, who had six points in that stretch, while senior guard Scott Plaisier, who led all scorers with 20 points, added five. Hope, which returns only one starter from last year's national runner-up team, made six of 10 free throws in the second half but made only six field goals.
Knights junior forward Aaron Winkle, who was a member of the most recent Team of the Week, punctuated the victory with just over a minute remaining with a slam dunk for his 1,000th and 1,001st career points. "I was really excited for our coach (Kevin Vande Streek, who was 0-5 against Hope before Saturday). . . . Our hard work over the summer really paid off in the second half and down the stretch."
Calvin, which shot 28-for-56 from the floor and outrebounded the younger Hope squad 32-25, improved to 12-2 in a game televised locally and beamed via satellite to 23 gatherings sponsored jointly by the schools' alumni associations. Eduardo Romero, Calvin class of '89, watched the game with a gathering of about 100 people at Rampart's in Alexandria, Va. "I was glad it was a Calvin-Hope event. It was obviously a spirited game and it's obvious it won't be the last time they have this."
Calvin took a 71-70 lead in the all-time series and the Knights also lead the all-time scoring tally by one point, 9,245-9,244. Hope (6-8) led by 17 points coming into the contest. |
