BABSON PARK, Fla. - A late three-pointer from Deecon Hill and some clutch free-throws in overtime led to a 69-68 win for the Goshen men's basketball team over Webber International. This was Goshen's first overtime win since a 93-90 double-overtime victory over Spring Arbor in 2022.

Goshen now has six wins this season, which already surpasses their total from a year ago. This is their most wins in a season since the 2021-2022 season.

The Maple Leafs had a rough start, only shooting 25% in the first half. The Warriors led 33-22 at the break. Goshen regrouped and started the second half on a 13-2 run to tie the game 35-35. Saiveon Williams hit a three to tie it after making a layup on the previous possession. Kenny May scored four points during the rally and Jurah Minarovjech and Marcus Northern each made baskets as well.

Goshen took a three-point lead but lost it with 9:16 to go in the half.

Goshen native Deecon Hill banked a three-pointer and gave the Leafs a 59-57 lead. The Warriors' Deon Brown made a layup at the other end with six seconds left to tie it, and Marcus Northern's three-point attempt at the buzzer was no good, sending the game to overtime.

Northern made a layup and a jumper in overtime that broke a 63-63 tie and gave Goshen a 67-63 advantage. Brown hit a three for Webber International to cut it within one. He finished with 21 points and went 5-8 from three, but those would be the last points he would score. Saiveon Williams made a pair of free throws, and Goshen was able to hold onto the slim lead with a 69-68 win.

After shooting 25% in the first half, Goshen improved to a 50% field goal percentage in the second half and 60% in overtime.
