Hope stayed in front of the pack in the MIAA and took a two-game lead on its archrival Calvin as the Flying Dutch held off the Knights 58-51 in Holland, Michigan. With the game tied at 43 late in the third quarter, Hope scored the final basket of that period and the first five points of the fourth quarter to give itself some breathing room. Bre Luurtsema hit a jump shot with three minutes left to pull the Knights within three at 54-51 and Calvin had multiple chances to get closer until Francesca Buchanan made a layup to push Hope's lead to 56-51 with 63 seconds left. The teams exchanged misses and Hope's Lauren Newman made two free throws with six seconds left to put the game away.
