Remaining Unbeaten 

The Golden Eagles are one of two remaining unbeaten teams in the WHAC that have played so far this season, joining Madonna who currently sits at 3-0. CU saw just one match last week and it was a big one, taking down Aquinas in four sets 26-24, 25-22, 17-25, 25-23 to move to 6-0. Cornerstone was scheduled to play Indiana Tech on the road on Friday, but the match was postponed due to inclement weather prohibiting travel. 

This week Cornerstone has two more WHAC matches on tap with a home date vs. defending conference champion Lawrence Tech and a road trip to Northwestern Ohio. CU will host Lawrence Tech at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, February 9 and travel to Northwestern Ohio for a 7 p.m. match on Friday, February 12.

Scouting Lawrence Tech

Lawrence Tech comes off a historic season, winning their first ever WHAC Championship with a perfect 20-0 conference slate. LTU is the 13th team in WHAC history to record a perfect conference record, and just the second to do it with 20+ conference games. The Blue Devils also won the WHAC Tournament Championship to sweep the 2019 awards. 

Despite last years success, the Blue Devils lost almost everyone from the 2019 roster and now sit at 1-4 on the season and in conference play. The team has lost four straight matches, most recently a 3-0 sweep at Indiana Tech.

Lawrence Tech is led this year by senior Isabella McDonald who has a team high 64 kills so far. 

 

 

Scouting UNOH

The Racers are off to a slow start, going 0-3, 0-2 WHAC so far this season. Before taking on Cornerstone, they will face Rochester University looking for their first win of 2020. Last season, UNOH finished just ahead of Cornerstone in the WHAC at fifth place with a 13-7 conference record. 

Cornerstone has lost the last four matches against UNOH, with three of the four going to five sets. 

The Racers are led by senior setter Kayleigh Hulst who was a First Team All-WHAC setter in 2019. Middle Hitter Kacey Jaeger also returns to the team after winning WHAC Newcomer of the Year in 2019.
