GOSHEN, Ind. - The women's basketball team extended their win streak to six games on Saturday. The sixth was a little sweeter than most, as it was against conference rival Bethel in the first Crossroads League game of the season for the Maple Leafs. Goshen defeated Bethel 74-70 to pick up half a point toward the U.S. Highway 20 Cup competition.

The Pilots never had a lead in the game. The Goshen defense held them to just 21 points by the half while the Leafs put up 32. Bethel outscored their first half of scoring in each of the next two quarters individually, with 26 in the third and 23 in the fourth. They outscored GC by eight in the third quarter. However, Goshen was able to stave off the comeback and held on for a four-point win.

Syanne Mohamed scored 18 points with six rebounds and no turnovers. She is averaging 14.3 points and 9.1 rebounds per game this season. Zoe Zellers was just a rebound off from a double-double with ten points and nine boards. Kiana Oelling provided 16 points off the bench and has now scored in double digits in five of her last six games. Ava Lickliter had seven assists and three steals. Zion Neat and Montasia McAllister each had eight points, Sophia Eli had seven and Kyla Foster had six.

Goshen only shot ten three-pointers but made six of them. Meanwhile, Bethel was 10 for 30. The Leafs improved to 6-2 this year with the win.

Goshen is at Saint Francis on Tuesday, November 21, for a 5:30 pm tipoff.
