WINONA LAKE, Ind. — Suzanna Yoder scored 13 points to lead Goshen College and six Maple Leafs added at least 9 points Saturday in an 80-51 women's basketball victory over Grace Christian University at Grace College's Hoops for Hope classic in the Manahan Orthopaedic Capital Center.

Janara Flowers, TaNiece Chapman and Keyaira Murff each scored 10 points on the nose for the Maple Leafs (6-2), who led 42-24 at halftime. Graysen Cockerham and Mariah Roe added 9 apiece. Chapman led the team with 9 rebounds and a block, joined in the latter category by Murff and Roe.

Grace Christian (2-7) had the game's high scorer in Megan Scholtens with 15 points and the game's leading rebounder as Ashley Hoek pulled down 12 boards to go with 14 points. The Tigers got 39 of their 51 points from their starting 5, and all 12 of Morgan Mooney's points off the bench came in the fourth quarter.

The Maple Leafs outshot their Michigan foes 41 percent to 36 percent and made 17 foul shots to the Tigers' 7. GC also forced 29 turnovers while giving the ball up just 14 times – Cockerham and Murff both registered 4 steals.

Each team shot 5-of-15 (33 percent) from the floor in the opening quarter, but Grace Christian committed 6 fouls to Goshen's 1 and the Maple Leafs responded with a corresponding 8-1 edge in free throws on the way to a 22-12 lead. Goshen pulled ahead for good on a Roe 3-pointer at the 4:37 mark and finished the quarter on a 12-2 run.

GC's defense limited the Tigers to eight shots in the second quarter after 9 takeaways, which sparked a 14-2 run that spanned most of the quarter. After Scholtens' bucket at the 7:44 mark cut the lead to 28-20, the Tigers wouldn't hit another field goal until Maggie Long scored with 12 seconds to play. Six Maple Leafs scored in between to stretch the lead to as many as 20.

Goshen hit on 7 of 19 shots in the third stanza, holding GC to 14 percent (2-of-15) in a quarter that finished 17-4 on the scoreboard. Cockerham scored 6 of the first 8 points in the period and a Yoder triple pushed the lead to a new maximum, 59-28, with 10 minutes remaining.

The Tigers outscored the Maple Leafs 23-21 in the fourth quarter with each team shooting better than 50 percent. Grace Christian was 5-of-9 dialing long distance and 2-for-3 inside the arc while Goshen went 8-for-14 on its two-point tries and added a Logan Kyre 3.

The lead would peak at 41 points, 74-33, when Chapman scored four seconds before the midway point of the period; at that point, the Maple Leafs led 15-5 in the quarter while GCU would outscore them 18-6 the rest of the way.

Goshen is idle next week after three straight weekend tournaments. The Maple Leafs return to the floor on Tuesday, Nov. 26, when they return to Grace for the conference opener at 6 p.m.
