Season comes to an end for Women’s Basketball with loss at Indiana Tech

FORT WAYNE, Ind. –  The Golden Eagles started strong, getting on top 10-4, but the number 13 Indiana Tech Warriors were too much to handle in the WHAC Tournament Quarterfinal as CU fell 73-37 ending their season. Cornerstone ends the season much improved from the previous two seasons going 7-15 overall. CU will now approach the offseason and begin preparations for the 2021-22 season.
 
Game Flow:
  • The Golden Eagle defense came out to play early, holding the high-powered Indiana Tech offense scoreless for the first three minutes of the game. 
  • A pair of Shelby Nyboer jumpers gave Cornerstone the 10-4 lead seven minutes into the first quarter.
  • Indiana Tech ended the first quarter on a 9-2 run capped off by an Eileen Salisbury three to take the 13-12 lead.
  • The Warriors locked down on defense in the second quarter as a Katrina Goebel free throw was the only CU point for the first 7:30 of the period. Indiana Tech went on a 12-1 run to lead 25-13. 
  • Indiana Tech outscored Cornerstone 17-3 in the second quarter as the Golden Eagles hit one field goal to trail 30-15 at the break. 
  • The IIT defense was suffocating to start the second half as well as an Allyson Richards jumper was the first bucket with 6:45 remaining in the third. 
  • Shelby Nyboer hit back-to-back layups late in the third quarter to cut the deficit to 52-23. 
  • At the end of the third quarter, Cornerstone trailed 54-23. 
  • In the fourth quarter, the Warriors outscored the Golden Eagles 12-4 in the first five minutes to go up by 40, 67-27. 
  • Brooke Modderman hit the team's first three of the game with 4:31 to play. 
  • CU went on an 8-0 run in the final minutes, but it was too little too late as Cornerstone's season came to an end with a 73-37 loss at number 13 Indiana Tech.
