Women’s Volleyball sweeps Thomas More to open campaign

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. – The Golden Eagles got off to a great start after a long-awaited season opener, taking down Thomas More in straight sets inside Mol Arena on Friday evening. CU was excellent behind the service line recording eight aces and continually getting the Saints out of system to move to 1-0 to begin the year. Cornerstone will quickly hit the road for the Trinity International/Judson Crossover as the team will play Judson first tomorrow at 1:30 p.m. EST followed by a 4 p.m. EST match with Trinity International. Both games will be played in TIU's gym and no fans will be allowed. Tune in to cugoldeneagles.com to catch the action.
