9.4.04 - A
strong Cornerstone University squad edged the
Foresters 1-0 in HC's second game of the season.
The Golden Eagles, who blanked the Foresters 6-0
last season, pressed the attack in the first
half and finally took the lead in the 22nd
minute. HC keeper, Katie Stiffler, attempted to
smother a shot off the foot of Cornerstone's
Melissa Strohmaier, but the ball came loose and
Strohmaier was able to put away the rebound. In
the second half, the Foresters stepped up their
game and were able to play even with
Cornerstone. It looked as if HC would get the
chance to equalize in the 79th minute when Kara
Fultz was hauled down from behind in the box,
but no call was made.
"Cornerstone
was the stronger side today, but I think this
game showed some of our players that they can
compete at a higher level," said Coach
Datema. "With injuries to Fultz and Christi
Shook we ended up playing five and six freshmen
for much of the second half. Even so we felt a
win was a reasonable expectation. This is
something we can build on." With the
loss, the women fall to 1-1 on the season.
