Dress Like Your Dad Pizza Night
Cornerstone is excited to announce a big promotional night for Wednesday's 7 p.m. match vs. rival Aquinas as the Stonezone theme will be dress like your dad night and free pizza will be provided for the first students in attendance thanks to Flo's Pizza. Pizza will begin to be served at 6:30 p.m. and students are being asked to sit in the StoneZone section of the bleachers inside Mol Arena. 
 
Recovering from Injury
Cornerstone is looking to regroup from a three-game losing skid as team health starts to improve. CU went without kill leader Emmalee Murphy last week as well as freshman middle hitter Gabby VerBerkmoes. 
 
Scouting Aquinas 
Cornerstone has won seven in a row against former Head Coach Ryan Campbell and rival Aquinas but will face their toughest AQ team yet in a receiving votes program. AQ is led by a NCAA DI transfer in Lydia Harper at the setter position who has really changed the trajectory of the Saints program. Harper played at Miami of Ohio for two seasons, but is originally from Caledonia, Michigan and returned home to join the Saints. Harper ranks 16^th in the NAIA with 508 assists and has helped AQ to a four-game win streak including big WHAC wins over Siena Heights and Lourdes last week. 
 
Scouting Indiana Tech
The last time Cornerstone and (22) Indiana Tech met; CU reverse swept the Warriors in the WHAC Tournament Title match inside Mol Arena. Cornerstone has won nine in a row against IIT but will face their third NAIA Top 25 team still in search of their first win this season. The Warriors are a veteran team that rely heavily on their passing and explosive offense as they rank fourth in the NAIA in kills with 828. Indiana Tech already has four players over 100 kills led by junior Noelle VanOort with 210. 
 
Scouting UNOH
The young Racers begin 2023 better than they have in a while with an 8-6, 2-2 WHAC record. A team that has six freshmen on the roster have been one of the best serving teams in the country, ranking 10^th in the NAIA with 2.43 service aces per set. UNOH most recently defeated UM-Dearborn on September 16 and will play both Aquinas and Cornerstone this weekend.
