GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. – The Golden Eagles had no answer for a tough Siena Heights squad falling in straight sets at home for their second consecutive loss.

  • After the timeout, Gabrielle VerBerkmoes stuffed the Siena Heights attack to score the first point once play resumed. 
  • An Alli Pickard service ace brought Cornerstone within two and forced a Saints timeout.
  • After the timeout, Siena Heights rattled off five points in a row to increase their advantage to 16-9.
