Last Week Recap
The Golden Eagles went 0-1-1 last week in which they wish they had a victory. They started the week with a 3-3 tie against winless WHAC opponent Michigan-Dearborn that saw three goals in the first 10-minutes. Tyler Corstange had two goals for the Golden Eagles as Dearborn found a way to tie it late in the game for it to end in a draw. Cornerstone then had a chance to tie against Indiana Tech or even win but were unable to capitalize on their shot attempts as the Warriors scored a goal in the final five-minutes to escape with a 2-1 victory.

Aquinas comes into the matchup against the Golden Eagles with an 8-2-1 (4-1) record that sees them in second in the WHAC standings. The Saints have scored five or more goals four times this season with their only conference loss coming against Madonna where they were shutout for the second tie this season.

UNOH is not having the year that we expect from the Racers as being a National Tournament qualifier a season ago, they are just 2-7-3 (1-2-2) on the season sitting one game ahead of the Golden Eagles in the WHAC standings. They are coming off a 3-0 loss against Aquinas where they are struggling to score goals on the season with just 15 through their 12 games on the season. The Racers are led by center defensive midfielder Jovaunn Ramos who has four goals on the year.
