IWU finished at 34.7-percent (17 of 49) shooting and 10.0-percent (1 of 10) from 3-point range.

Chelsea Winner came off the bench and provided a spark with a team-leading seven points in the half as she shot 5-of-6 from the foul line.

Indiana Wesleyan (23-6, 13-4 CL) built an advantage of six points in the early portion of the second half. But Goshen fought back to force a tie on two occasions, the last coming at 34-34. But a 9-2 Indiana Wesleyan run allowed the Wildcats to earn their biggest lead so far at 43-36 with 9 minutes remaining.

Goshen responded with seven of the next eight points to cut the deficit to one point at 44-43 with less than six minutes left.

The win coupled with a Huntington (Ind.) loss to Saint Francis (Ind.) allows Indiana Wesleyan to move into a second place tie with Huntington.
