Cornerstone welcomes Sarah Craycraft from Zeeland West to the women’s golf program. Sarah will be a strong contributor to our program, both with her play and with her enthusiasm for the game. “Sarah is a great fit for us”, says coach Davis. “She is a strong player who will help us build the work ethic and talent level for our program, but she is an even better person. We are going to have a lot of fun having Sarah here.”
Sarah was all conference and all area for 4 years. She was named “Holland Sentinel’s Golfer of the Year” three years in a row. Among the many other honors from her high school career, Sarah had the lowest average for the OK Green conference two years in a row, was medalist of several tournaments including the Giant Invitational and qualified for the state tournament. One of Sarah’s favorite high school memories is playing by herself in a two player best ball/scramble format tournament and finishing second by herself. “That was fun,” says Sarah.
Cornerstone first caught my eye because it was a Christian college and it had a golf team. I want to develop my faith in the years to come and I know I can do that at Cornerstone along with getting a great education. Getting to play golf along the way is an awesome bonus. Scott and the girls from the golf team also made the decision easier by making me feel right at home from the beginning, I'm totally excited to be a Golden Eagle next year!

Kristina Raiz from Mona Shores, MI signs with Cornerstone. As a senior, Kristina received her 2nd OK All-Conference selection. She was 3rd overall in her regional tournament and finished top 20 in the State Finals which earned her All State Honorable mention. Kristina will definitely bring a passion for the game and a desire to work and improve her game. “She’s kind of a golf junkie” says, coach Davis and, ”she will not only build our team’s talent base but help build our program’s level of expectation.”
“I choose Cornerstone University because I really loved the atmosphere when I was walking through the campus; I felt comfortable and could see myself going here. I'm a new Christian and felt that Cornerstone would be a great place for me to grow in my faith and as a person. My greatest golf experience is when I was at my city tournament; it was the last hole and I chipped it in to tie for 2nd. But also a great experience was making all state honorable mention as a senior and qualifying to go to the state finals; the first for my school in 12 years.”

Cornerstone welcomes Kaleigh Haase to the Women's Golf team. Kaleigh is from Fruitport, MI and played #1 on their girls golf team this past fall. She will bring needed stability and depth to our program this fall. Kaleigh will be an asset both as a player and as a teammate.
“I chose Cornerstone because it is an authentically Christian college where I can be actively involved both in the community at Cornerstone and beyond. I also am excited that I will have the opportunity to play golf. I love golf because even though it is a sport than can be relaxing, it also requires mental toughness which will prepare me for the difficult decisions in life. One of my favorite golf memory is when I attended FCA golf camp at Ferris last summer. It was an opportunity to enjoy playing golf, while also improving my game. I built relationships with others and deepened my faith.”

Allison Hall joins the Cornerstone family and women’s golf program. Allison is from Fremont IN and will be joining the golf program in the fall. She comes from a team that won her conference championship and will bring needed depth to the women’s program. “Allison has an opportunity to come and work at her game while growing into competitive opportunities at the college level,” says coach Davis, “we are glad to have her as a part of our team.”
Allison loves the family dynamic of being a part of a team. She will bring the kind of positive attitude that we want to be part of our program. “Win or lose, we always had a great time being together both on the course or just traveling” says Allison. “I chose Cornerstone because when I stepped on campus I could feel the love of Christ everywhere not only could I see Christ through the students but the professors and staff as well. Also, the friendliness of all the students, they were open to answering any questions I had and directing me to anywhere I needed to be. Basically, I chose Cornerstone for the atmosphere of the campus and the closeness of Christ to all the students and staff.”
