Keelean 12 Away 
Olivia Keelean had 13 kills and nine kills in her two matches last week putting her just 12 away from 1,000 in her career. Keelean is looking to become the next player to achieve both 1,000 career kills and digs. 
 
Lenz 3x WHAC Setter of the Week
Sophomore Aubrey Lenz continues to be recognized on the conference level for her efforts this season as she has now earned WHAC Setter of the Week three consecutive times. Lenz is top five in the NAIA in both assists and assists per set, she also has a strong serve ranking top 10 in service aces. 
 
Kylie Barron and the Middles
Kylie Barron highlighted the great start to the year by the Golden Eagle middles earning WHAC Attacker of the Week after hitting .421 in two matches and recording a career high 11 kills vs. Siena Heights. Cornerstone has used the middles well this year with the duo of Kaylee Dykema and Kylie Barron each hitting above .200 on the year with over 100 kills to rank first and fourth on the team. 
 
Winning Streak
After starting 0-3, Cornerstone has rattled off 12 straight victories to tie their longest win streak under Head Coach Megan Lenhart in her fourth season at CU. With a trio of wins this week, CU would pass the 14-game winning streak they had in 2017 and it would be the longest since 2016 when the Golden Eagles won 22 in a row. 
 
Students Free at AQ/Whiteout
Cornerstone will play their first rivalry match with Aquinas in any sport this season, as they head to the Sturrus Sports & Fitness Center on Wednesday at 7 p.m. All CU students are FREE at the match with a valid Golden Eagle ID. The Cornerstone Stone Zone is hosting a white out as we look to pack the opponent's gym for the rivalry contest. 
 
Scouting Aquinas 
The Saints have struggled in the early season, but hold a 2-1 WHAC record despite just five total wins. The young roster has just one starter returning from last season. AQ also has a strong connection to Cornerstone as Brooke Nicholson who previously played for Cornerstone is using her COVID year and is a starting middle for the Saints under former Golden Eagle Head Coach Ryan Campbell. Other familiar faces on the AQ sideline include Kendra Zwart who ranks third all-time in kills in CU program history. 
 
Scouting Indiana Tech
The Warriors have surprised a lot of people in the NAIA in the early season, going a perfect 16-0 under new Head Coach Matt Fishman. The Tech offense has been very clean this year, ranking sixth in the NAIA with a .253 hitting percentage behind a team high 185 kills from sophomore Noelle VanOort. VanOort has been one of the best players in the country with 56 service aces as well to rank second in the NAIA. 
 
Scouting UNOH 
The Racers sit at 7-9 overall and 0-4 in WHAC play, losing their last four matches. Sophomore Logan Thomas has been outstanding for UNOH with 223 kills on the season on 653 attempts. She has nearly 400 more attempts than anyone else on her team as the Racers have a very young roster with five freshmen and only one senior.
