WINONA LAKE, Ind. — Three Goshen College sophomores combined for 44 points from their starting-five spots Tuesday night, but Grace College raced past the Maple Leafs and posted a 118-82 win in each team's conference opener at the Manahan Orthopaedic Capital Center.

Graysen Cockerham led the Maple Leafs (6-3, 0-1) with 17 points while TaNiece Chapman added 16 and Janara Flowers contributed 11 on 3 3-pointers. Chapman and Keyaira Murff, a junior, tied for the team lead with 7 rebounds.

The Maple Leafs finished with a 62 percent clip from the floor in the second half, going 21-for-34 overall and 6-for-9 from 3-point range, but Grace's 59-point first half and 39-point third quarter proved too much to overcome. Goshen added 31 points in the fourth period, marking its third game with a 30-point quarter this season.

The Lancers (8-1, 1-0) shot 63 percent from the floor in the first half, going 20-for-32 with 5 triples and a perfect mark on 14 foul shots. They added a 10-of-14 (71 percent) clip in the third quarter, to say nothing of another 10 free throws without a miss.

Grace got 24 points apiece from Kyannah Stull and Vironnica Drake, leading all scorers. Maddie Ryman added 20 off the bench. Drake led all players with 8 rebounds and Kamryn Hostetler contributed 6 assists.

The Maple Leafs led early and outscored their hosts 31-20 in the last 10 minutes, but the middle two and a half quarters were all Grace. The Lancers led 26-12 at the quarter, 59-26 at the half and 98-51 through 30 minutes.

Goshen put together a 10-point run early in the fourth quarter, getting four points apiece from Cockerham and Mariah Roe, and finished the game on a 13-3 run. Janara Flowers added two buckets in the latter spurt and Emily Brandeberry got on the scoresheet with the game's final points.

Goshen's 82 points were the team's third-best output of the season and would have been the second-highest output a year ago. Over the last three years, the only time GC had scored more than 82 points in a regulation conference game was the 85-point effort against Bethel last January 23.

The Maple Leafs also had an 83-point showing at Huntington in the 2017 conference opener, but it required overtime. In any case, Huntington is the next opponent up for Goshen, which travels to Platt Arena after a seven-day layoff. Tip-off is set for 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Dec. 4.
