Woman’s Soccer drops a Close Match to #11 Aquinas College

Grand Rapids, Mich. – Women's soccer (2-4-1) head down the street to take on #11 Aquinas College (2-3,) for an important WHAC match. After an exciting 2-2 tie against a different top 15 opponent in Spring Arbor University last week, Women's Soccer sought out another big result against a top ranked team. Both teams had their fair share of attacking opportunities in the first half, as Cornerstone led the way with four shots on goal to Aquinas College's three. Aquinas would break the deadlock 26 seconds into the second half to make it 1-0. Jada VanNoord would tie up the match 1-1 with a successful penalty shot, but Aquinas came out on top with their second goal of the game in the 50th minute of play. Cornerstone Women's Soccer's next match will be down in Fort Wayne, Ind. on Saturday the 27th, to take on Indiana Tech at 4 p.m.
