HOLLAND, Mich. – Albion has accomplished what no other team could so far this regular season. The Britons defeated Hope. Twice.

Albion (16-8, 7-7 MIAA) earned a regular season sweep over the No. 2-ranked Flying Dutch by posting a 58-46 victory before a crowd of 700 at the Dow Center on Saturday afternoon, after winning only four games last season.

The Britons shot 38% from the field (9-for-24) in the first half and took a 26-23 lead to the locker room.

The Britons seized control of the game with a 17-7 run to turn a 30-30 tie into a 47-37 Briton lead with 12:20 remaining. Junior guards Becky Campbell and Stacey Supanich scored the first nine points of the Briton rally. Campbell gave Albion the lead for good when she knocked down a jumper. Supanich followed with a basket, a three-point field goal, and a pair of free throws.

Hope was able to cut its deficit to 47-43 with just under 10 minutes left in the game when Amy Brower scored a basket. The Flying Dutch, however, would score just three points the rest of the game. Campbell, Supanich, and freshman guard Sarah Caskey led Albion's offense with 13 points apiece.

All three shot the ball well (Campbell was 5-for-10 from the field, Supanich was 4-for-8 from the field and 4-for-6 at the free throw line, and Caskey was 3-for-5 from the field and 6-for-7 at the line).

Hope (23-2, 12-2) did not have a player score in double figures. Amy Baltmanis was the high scorer for the Flying Dutch with eight points.
