Men's Volleyball survives a five set scare at Siena Heights

 
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. – The Golden Eagles had their first true road test of the year and came away with a scary five set victory (25-12, 25-23, 16-25, 22-25, 15-11). Cornerstone took care of business early in this match, winning the first two sets easy. Siena Heights turned the tide the next two sets, winning those just as easy as the Golden Eagles first two, but men's volleyball finished the job in the fifth set for the win. Even though they lost their first set of the year, they remain undefeated as they move to 7-0 (3-0) on the season as they welcome Saint Mary of the Woods on Friday, February 23.
