DEARBORN, Mich. – Cornerstone and Michigan-Dearborn battled out a back-and-forth match and eventually would end in a 1-1 draw. Gracie Gortmaker got the scoring started early in the first half, but a second half PK by the Wolverines would tie it and the match would finish that way. A late second half shot by Sierah Adams looked like it crossed the goal line but wasn't called as the draw moves Cornerstone to 5-2-2 (1-1-2) on the year. The Golden Eagles return home as they will take on Indiana Tech on Saturday, October 7 starting at 2:30 p.m. for homecoming weekend.
