The Hope College women's basketball team continued to stay on a roll on Tuesday with its fifth win of the season.

The Flying Dutch featured three double-digit scorers as the they raced past Wisconsin Lutheran College, 84-52, on Tuesday night at DeVos Fieldhouse.  

Senior Savannah Feenstra (Osceola, Indiana / Northwood HS) led Hope with 19 points, matching her career-high single-game point tally.

Feenstra led the charge in three different categories in the win, picking up 10 rebounds, and three steals. 

"I think Savannah has gone back-to-back with really, really good games," said head coach Brian Morehouse of Feenstra's performance in the win. 

Junior Carlee Crabtree (Coldwater, Michigan / Coldwater) chipped in 11 points on the night, going 4-4 from the field and sinking all three 3-point shots taken. 

Senior Claire Baguley (Ada, Michigan / Forest Hills Central) put up 10 points against the Warriors, while sophomore Jada Garner (Midland, Michigan / H.H. Dow) grabbed nine points off the bench, shooting 100% from the floor.

Senior Ella McKinney (Haslett, Michigan / Haslett) helped control the win, dishing out a game-high five assists to her teammates. 

The Flying Dutch (5-0) fueled the win with two quarters of big defense against Wisconsin Lutheran. In both the second and fourth quarters Hope kept the Warriors to under ten points. Hope held the lead for the majority of the game, with their largest lead coming in the fourth quarter as the home team finished off the victory with a 33 point lead. 

"For me, it was a good game, I thought our points per possession were really good, our efficiency was really good throughout all the quarters," said Morehouse. "We were shuffling a lot of people with kids going in and out of the game, so it was hard to get a flow, but I think our kids are getting more used to playing in the chaos, and playing with different people."  

Hope is back in action on the road at Calvin University for The Rivalry and the Flying Dutch's MIAA opener.

Tipoff is set for 7:30 pm on Wednesday, November 30, in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
