Cornerstone loses 3-1 to #8 Madonna

Box Score

Cornerstone faced #8 ranked Madonna tonight in their second WHAC contest of the season.  The two teams played pretty even through 10-10 but Madonna made a 4-0 run on a service ace, and attack error and a couple of kills to take a 14-10 lead.  The Golden Eagles would cut the lead to 2 (16-14) but that would be as close as they would get in the first set.  The Crusaders made a 5-1 run to end the first set with a 25-18 win.  The Golden Eagles battled back in the second set winning by a score of 25-21.  Madonna had tied the score at 2-2 and 3-3 but then the Golden Eagles took the lead for good and would not relinquish the lead for the remainder of the set and would go on to win 25-21.  The Golden Eagles hung tough in the early part of Game 3 tying the score at 8-8.  Unfortunately, the Crusaders went on a 17-9 run to win the game 25-17.  The Crusaders closed out the match with a 25-18 win in the fourth set  for a 3-1 win.  Megan Newhouse led the Golden Eagles with 13 Kills while Hope Leppink recorded 37 Assists.   Libby Webber and Ellie Van Laar both had 3 Blocks.  Amber Carmean and Heather Green had 18 and 15 Digs for the Golden Eagles.   Cornerstone drops to 6-2 overall and 1-1 in the WHAC.  The Golden Eagles will return to action on Friday when they take on Kuyper College at 4:00 p.m. and Lawrence Tech at 7:00 p.m.
