HOLLAND, Mich. - The Kalamazoo College football team lost
22-16 at Hope on Saturday. Hope led 22-9 at halftime.

of the end zone. Kalamazoo proceeded to move down the field
and took a 3-0 lead with a 28-yard Travis Braun field goal.
Hope, which scored all 22 of its points in the second quarter,

quarterback sack. Hope went up 15-9 with 2:21 left and then
