Box Score GRAND RAPIDS, Mich.  – The Golden Eagles took on a tough NCAA DIII foe in East Beltline rival Calvin University and a strong effort specifically in the second half resulted in two equalizers that gave CU a 2-2 road tie. Calvin scored in the 72^nd minute, just a minute after Cornerstone found the tying goal, but a late PK again tied the match in the final minutes. The 3-0-3 Golden Eagles next match will be another tough one with a battle at NAIA top 25 opponent Bethel University on Tuesday at 6 p.m. 
 
The Highlights:

• Calvin got off to a fast start recording two shots in the first three minutes that were both blocked away to keep things scoreless early. 
• The Knights continued to control possession as a shot from Christopher Shau in the 13^th minute proved to be the most dangerous in the early going, going off the crossbar and out. 
• On the seventh Calvin shot of the day, Ethan Pike made his first save of the day in the 17^th minute. 
• Mitchell Strawser recorded the first Cornerstone shot in the 18^th minute that missed high. 
• The Knights persistence on net paid off in the 34^th minute, netting their first goal in the lower left corner on a shot from Jacob Ryu to make it 1-0. 
• Cornerstone trailed Calvin 1-0 at the half. 
• Out of the half, Cornerstone started to garnish a flow as Mitchell Strawser and Jeff Herrema each recorded shots that challenged the Calvin defense. 
• Momentum continued to shift in the Golden Eagles favor as again Mitchell Strawser recorded a shot that was saved by Calvin keeper Daniel Wunder in the 65^th minute. 
• Tyler Corstange on his first shot of the game, proved heroic tying the game with an upper 90 goal in the 71^st minute. 
• Less than a minute later though, the Knights responded as Jacob Gooding scored to regain the lead 2-1. 
• Late in the game Cornerstone earned a PK for a chance to tie. A referee went down with an injury however, causing a long delay before the PK was taken. 
• Tyler Corstange scored the penalty in the 87^th minute, tying the game at two after a nearly 15-minute delay due to referee injury. 
• That would end the dramatic game as Cornerstone and Calvin tied at two to put the Golden Eagles record at 3-0-3.
