FORT WAYNE, Ind. — Allison Ebersole's header with 4:51 to play put the Goshen College women's soccer team in front for the second time Friday night as the Maple Leafs held off Indiana Tech for a 3-2 win at the Warrior Athletic Field.

Mara Beck opened the scoring and Taliah Borom added an insurance goal for the Maple Leafs (1-1), who snapped a six-game winless streak against the Warriors and upended them in Fort Wayne for the first time ever.

Beck's first goal since 2016 broke the ice with 10:04 left in the first half, sending Goshen into the locker room with a 1-0 lead despite a 10-2 shot deficit. Borom cleaned up a rebound with exactly 30 minutes remaining to double the advantage.

Goalkeeper Katie Baer made eight saves for the Maple Leafs, posting her sixth straight game with at least that many dating back to last fall. She kept a clean sheet until the 72nd minute, when Sydney Lemelin's free kick set up a sliding shot for Kelsey Combs to put the hosts on the scoresheet in a 2-1 deficit.

The Warriors got off three more shots over the next 13 minutes, posting a second goal with 10:08 remaining when Lily Rothert followed up a rebound of Kayla Saffran's header. Indiana Tech finished the game with edges of 17-7 in total shots and 10-4 in shots on goal.

With 5:01 remaining, however, the Maple Leafs demonstrated that, as long as games are determined by goals rather than shots, quality of attempts trumps quantity most of the time. GC earned a free kick from the left side; while the first head to meet the ball belonged to a player in Warrior white, the last belonged to Ebersole. The senior struck for her first goal of the season as the Maple Leafs pulled back in front.

The Warriors could not muster a shot over the final five minutes as their hopes of a tie fizzled out.

Both teams did tie in the foul column, with each side gaining 14 free kicks through opponents' infractions and suffering a pair of cautions. Indiana Tech took two of the three corner kicks.

The win marked Goshen's first over Indiana Tech since the teams' first meeting, a 2-0 victory on Sept. 13, 1997 in Angola, Indiana. That game was the penultimate contest of a six-match season-opening winning streak for a Maple Leaf team that finished 13-7-1. Indiana Tech had won all four previous head-to-head meetings in the Summit City with a scheduled 2004 matchup called off due to lightning.

In addition, GC's 3-2 win came hours after the men posted the same result at home against Holy Cross, so Friday marked the first day in more than 8 years that saw the Maple Leaf men and women win by the same score. Goshen last turned that trick on Sept. 12, 2010, when both teams knocked off Eastern Mennonite University 1-0 in Lansdale, Pennsylvania.

This set of Leafs won't continue a road trip in Pennsylvania, but Goshen will play its next three matches in three states. GC returns to action at Cleary University in Livingston, Michigan, next Tuesday: the match kicks off at 7 p.m. as the first women's soccer game in CU's Lake Trust Credit Union Stadium.
