HOLLAND, Michigan — A Bay Village woman who was a student at a small college in Michigan was killed Saturday when she was struck by a train near the school’s campus in Holland, Mich.

Hope College President Matthew Scogin confirmed the death of Jennifer Kasunick in a post on social media. Scogin described Kasunick, who was a junior at the college, as “a well-loved member of our community.”

“Almost everyone on campus knew Jennifer,” Scogin writes. “And to know her was to love her. Her joyful spirit was a constant source of warmth and light, especially in Phelps Hall, where she served as an RA alongside her service dog, Rowdy, who survived.”

Police have not released information on the incident. Scogin writes in his post that he also has no details.

Cleveland.com news partner WKYC Channel 3 reports Kasunick was born blind. She was very involved in the music programs at Bay Village High School, WKYC reports. She was a member of the orchestra at Hope College, described as a talented violinist who learned all of her music by ear.

“Jennifer was fearless,” Bay Village High School Principal Jason Martin said in a statement to WKYC. “She was larger than life and touched so many members of our Bay Village community. Jennifer and her service dog, Rowdy, wowed audiences in high school musicals, orchestra concerts and walking at graduation in 2023.”

Kasunick was a nominee for the 2024 Accessibility Awareness Award, according to Hope College. The school is a small liberal arts college with just over 3,100 undergraduate students. Holland is located in the western portion of lower Michigan near Lake Michigan.

Michigan hockey’s team’s win streak against Notre Dame is over.

The ninth-ranked Wolverines fell to the Irish 7-4 Saturday in South Bend, their first loss to Notre Dame in nine games.

After a slow start Friday, Michigan scored five straight in a 5-3 victory in the series opener. It was the Irish that used a five-goal surge to propel it to victory to earn a series split.

Sophomore Evan Werner opened the scoring for the Wolverines (13-8-1, 7-5 Big Ten) at the 11:48 mark of the first period, but Notre Dame answered with five straight.

William Whitelaw and Philippe Lapointe scored power-play goals 32 seconds apart in the second period to make it a two-goal game, but that’s as close as the Wolverines came to a comeback.

They were done in by a disastrous stretch in the second period where the Irish (7-14-1, 2-11-1) scored three goals in 32 seconds. Saturday was Notre Dame’s first Big Ten win in regulation.

Michigan outshot Notre Dame 41-29 but gave up a season-high seven goals.

It faces rival Michigan State, the top-ranked team in the country, for the first time this season next weekend, hosting the Spartans on Friday and traveling to East Lansing on Saturday.
