Women move on after beating Cornerstone

The Aquinas women’s basketball team finally shot down the Golden Eagles and moved on in the WHAC Tournament on Saturday, 62-53.

Leading the Saints was Joslyn Narber with 25 points and 11 rebounds. Carrie Abdo added 12 points and 13 boards.

Jenna Plewes scored 26 for Cornerstone.

From here, the Saints will take on Madonna on Tuesday night for the WHAC Tournament Championship. Action starts at 7:30 p.m. at the Aquinas field house.

Men can’t go perfect against Golden Eagles

Despite 19 points from John Lierman and 17 from James Telman, the Saints couldn’t pull off a perfect record against Cornerstone, who stopped them in their tracks on Saturday, 84-79.

The loss for the Saints ends their run for the WHAC Tournament Championship and puts their chance at nationals in jeopardy.

Ted Albert and Dominic Allen scored 15 points for the Golden Eagles.

Although the Saints kept in the game, it proved difficult to stop Cornerstone’s shooters. The Golden Eagles shot 58 percent from the field. Aquinas also had difficulty toward the end of the game with making free throws and three pointers.

The Saints will now await their fate on whether or not they make the NAIA National Tournament.
