Scouting Purdue Northwest – Head coach Ryan Hayes (2nd Season)
The Pride, under second year head coach Ryan Hayes, come into the week with an overall record of 2-2-1 after a 1-0 overtime victory over Bethel last Saturday. PNW, who is a merged school between Purdue Calumet and Purdue North-Central, rebounded from two straight losses to get back to its winnings ways against Bethel. The Pride have scored five goals on the season, four of them coming from Alec Guarino and the other from Zac Doepke while Tulio Riberio leads the team with two assists. In goal, Miguel David has logged all 501 minutes and owns a GAA of 0.72.
 
 
Who is Purdue Northwest?
Although this will be the first meeting ever between Cornerstone and Purdue University Northwest, the Golden Eagles are no stranger to the opponent. Purdue Northwest is a brand new athletic department after the merge between Purdue Calumet and Purdue North Central.
 
Last Time vs. Purdue Calumet or North Central
The last time Cornerstone has played either Purdue Calumet or North Central was the first match of the 2014 season in which the Golden Eagles fell 3-2 in overtime. It was one of their seven matches that season that went into at least overtime as CU got their pair of goals from Mario Williams and Garret Nimmo.
 
CCAC Regulars
Cornerstone has made regular trips throughout the region to the Chicagoland schools and over the last five years the Golden Eagles own a 5-6-1 record vs. schools from the CCAC including a 2-1 mark this season after their sweep of Saint Xavier and Trinity International last week.
