The Huntington
University Foresters (12-7, 4-3) led by as many as 21 points in the
second half and then held off a late rally attempt to down Goshen
College 75-64.
The Foresters jumped out to a 10-1 lead to open the game, but Goshen
(7-13, 1-6) came back with a 10-5 run to pull within 15-11 at the
12:39 mark. A Lauren Davenport jumper with 8:38 on the clock put
Huntington’s lead back in double figures at 23-13 and the Foresters
pushed it to as many as 17 with under a minute left in the half.
Goshen’s Kimmie Hummer was fouled on a three-point attempt with two
tenths of a second to play and hit all three free throws to cut it
to 41-27 at the break.
The two teams traded baskets early in the second half until the
Foresters put together a 5-0 spurt to take their largest lead of the
game 52-31. Huntington maintained the double digit margin until an
Ashley Hummer layup brought Goshen within nine at 68-59 with just
under two minutes to play. The Foresters then went 7-9 at the
charity stripe down the stretch to seal the win.
