Madonna Gets Best of Cornerstone for a 2-1 Victory on Senior Day

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. – The Cornerstone women's soccer team took on Madonna for its last home match of the season this afternoon (Oct. 21). The Golden Eagles honored all of their seniors on this rainy Saturday afternoon that resulted in a 2-1 victory for the visiting Madonna Crusaders. Ella Bosscher scored her first collegiate goal as the lone goal for the Golden Eagles.
This result moves Cornerstone to a 6-6-2 record that now features a 2-5-2 WHAC record.

Game Recap: Cornerstone – 1, Madonna – 2
First Half:
  • Gabriella Sapia of Madonna had a strong early chance that nearly resulted in an early lead.
  • Both teams had several corner opportunities in the first 15 minutes, but neither side managed to generate any threatening opportunities.
  • Gracie Gortmaker put a fantastic cross-body shot on target 17 minutes into the half, but the Crusader keeper parried the shot away.
  • The first half remained quiet for the next 20 minutes of the half with both teams struggling to generate offense in the wet conditions.
  • Madonna forward, Sara Castillo, broke the draw with ten minutes left to play in the half. She curled the shot around Morgan Scholten for a 1-0 Crusader advantage.
  • The Crusaders continued to try and force the attack through Castillo, but the CU defense tightened up to bring the game to halftime with the score still at 1-0.
Second Half:
  • Gortmaker picked up her third shot of the game with an early opportunity that missed wide.
  • The second half continued the quiet and defense theme. With just ten minutes remaining in the game, each team had only one shot in the second half.
  • Gortmaker had another opportunity with ten minutes left, but an incredible slide tackle by Madonna in the box sent the ball to safety.
  • Tori Woodwyk generated another opportunity and put a shot on target, but Madonna's keeper, Veronica Kozak, parried the ball away.
  • The visitors grew the lead to two after the ball bounced around the Cornerstone box until Molly Cote tapped it in.
  • Just 30 seconds later, Ella Bosscher tapped in a goal for CU off of an assist from Mackenzie Kramer.
  • The goal would prove to be just a consolation goal as Madonna went on to win 2-1 after the time expired.
By the Numbers:
1 – Bosscher grabbed her first career goal this afternoon and celebrated in style, sliding through a large puddle in front of the Cornerstone bench.
