Scouting Aquinas
The Saints have had a strong past couple of weeks, winning three of their last four matches to hold a 7-7-1, 4-4-0 WHAC record on the year. Offensively, AQ has scored 19 goals with 21 assists. A pair of upperclassman in senior Mariah Otolski and junior Morgan Halligan are tied for the team lead with five goals on the season. Defensively, the Saints have split time at keeper. Kylie Robb has seen the majority of the time starting 13 of 15 appearances and recording a .825 save percentage, while Sarina Rabideau has started one of seven appearances and tallied a .824 save percentage.
 
Scouting UM-Dearborn
The Wolverines have embarked upon their inaugural season in women's soccer and have yet to record a win, going 0-10-0, 0-8-0 WHAC. UM-Dearborn has only found the net four times in their first season, being shutout in six of their 10 matches this season. Defensively, UMD has averaged 13.3 saves per game but has given up just under five goals per game. UM-Dearborn's final two games will be against Lourdes and Cornerstone as they look to record their first program victory before the conclusion of the 2017 season.
 
History vs. Aquinas
Cornerstone has struggled all-time against cross-town rival Aquinas, going 12-24-3 since the CU program began in 1997. The Golden Eagles have lost five of their last seven matchups vs. the Saints, most recently falling 2-0 on October 26, 2016.
 
Postseason Outlook
As the regular season comes to an end, Cornerstone is in a battle for postseason position. CU currently sits in seventh place and has the opportunity to pass the sixth Aquinas Saints in a head-to-head victory this week. The best-case scenario for the Golden Eagles would be earning the fifth seed entering the WHAC tournament. CU could earn the fifth seed outright if they go 2-0 this week and Indiana Tech goes 0-2.  CU will not be in position to host a quarterfinal match if they qualify for postseason action.
 
Statistically Speaking
Cornerstone has continued to show balance all season long statistically. CU currently has three players tied with a team high seven points in Savannah Petty, Hannah Sell, and Ericka Mick. Right behind them, Morgan Haddad, Phoebe LaCroix, and Tori Johns are tied for a team second best six points. As a team, the Golden Eagles have scored 19 goals on the year off the foot of 10 different players. CU has 12 assists on those 19 goals, and Savannah Petty leads the team with three.
