Men’s Volleyball swept in home return by Lawrence Tech

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. – In their first home game in exactly a month, Cornerstone was greeted by a tough return as they were swept by WHAC foe Lawrence Tech, 25-23, 25-20, 25-23. The Golden Eagles had no answer for the LTU attack as they hit above .400 in each of the first two sets in the sweep. The Golden Eagles fall to 10-20 on the year and 1-12 in WHAC play with just two regular season games remaining. CU will host senior day for their final home game on Friday, March 25 vs. Wittenberg before traveling to Goshen on the 26th to end the year.
