GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. – Cornerstone found the net six times in just 69' of play this evening for a 6-0 victory, as the match was shortened due to Marygrove injuries that prevented the Mustangs from having a full squad to continue for the final 21' of game action. With the win, CU has now won two straight to improve to 7-5-1, 2-4-0 on the season with their next match coming on Saturday, when CU hosts Siena Heights.
