A Quick Look a Cornerstone
The Golden Eagles jumped out to an early 8-0 lead but the Racers came back to tie it with 3:28 left in the opening half. But a 9-0 Cornerstone run the rest of the half gave the Golden Eagles a 32-23 lead into intermission. After both teams went back-and-forth, the Golden Eagles went on a 16-0 momentum to run away with the victory. Veteran and All-WHAC selection Jill Hendrickson finished with a double-double of 18 points and 13 rebounds. Altogether the Golden Eagles shot 51 percent around the perimeter and took advantage of the free throw line by going 18-for-22.
