Record in WHAC Openers
Over the last decade, Cornerstone has gone 4-6 in WHAC openers as they look to rebound with a road win in the conference opener this year after a home loss to Madonna a season ago. The Golden Eagles last win in a WHAC opener was against these same Lourdes Gray Wolves in 2020 in a 1-0 victory. 
 
Scouting Lourdes
The Gray Wolves remain undefeated with a 2-0-3 record in the early season. The defense has been the highlight for Lourdes allowing just two goals in five games. In the two wins, Lourdes scored a total of three goals while in the ties they only scored one. Jackie Phillips is the Head Coach of Lourdes in her eighth season with the Gray Wolves. Phillips looks to continue their recent success, striving for their second consecutive winning season and second in program history as the team started in 2015 when Phillips was hired as Head Coach. 
 
Jozlyn VanTol Offensive Spark
Senior Jozlyn VanTol started to get back to her old ways last week, scoring three goals for the Golden Eagles as she now is tied for the team lead. VanTol came off a season ending ACL injury a year ago, and is now getting back to full strength on the field. In 2019, VanTol scored six goals to go along with seven assists to rank second on the team in points with 19.
