Seniors Honored by MIAA Coaches
Two senior players who didn't go far from their hometowns to contribute to the success of the Hope College men's basketball program have been named to the 2012-13 all-conference teams of the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MIAA).

Foward Nate Snuggerud of Zeeland (Zeeland East HS) has been named to the All-MIAA first team for a second year while guard Colton Overway of Holland (West Ottawa HS) has received second team recognition.

Two of the co-captains of this year's team, they ranked first and second. A four-year letterwinner, Snuggerud led the team in scoring and rebounding as both a junior and senior and finished his career on the Hope alltime scoring honor roll in 13th place with 1,366 points. He ranked sixth alltime in field goal shooting (.562). Overway was Hope's playmaker. In addition to scoring in double figures, he was among the MIAA leaders in assists until he suffered a broken foot with three weeks left in the season. A three-year letterwinner, he ended sixth on the Hope alltime list for assists per game.

Hope Player Honored for Going Beyond the Game
Colton Overway will go into the Hope College record book as one of the school's alltime leaders for dishing out assists to his basketball teammates. That helping spirit goes way beyond any athletic endeavor as evidenced by the recognition he is receiving as a member of the inaugural Good Works Team announced by the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) and the Allstate Insurance Company. continue
