Women's Basketball Comes Up Short at Goshen College, Falling 73-65

GOSHEN, Ind. - The IU Kokomo women's basketball team lost 73-65 at Goshen College Wednesday night. The Cougars will play three more road games against in-state foes before their home opener on November 17th.

Shamaria Walker led the Cougars offensively with 15 points. Walker also had six assists and five rebounds. Alaya Chapman finished one rebound shy of a double-double, scoring 13 points and grabbing nine boards.

Olivia Dowden had nine points on 3-5 shooting from beyond the arc. Anna Kiser and Anya Friend each added eight points.

IU Kokomo took an early 4-2 lead thanks to buckets from Alaya Chapman on consecutive possessions, but came back to take an 8-7 lead with six minutes to go in the first quarter. 

Leading 12-9, Goshen outscored IU Kokomo 7-1 in the final 3:43 of the quarter to take a 19-10 lead into the second quarter.

The Maple Leafs extended their lead to double-digits early in the quarter, and were able to maintain it for much of the period. Trailing 34-24 with 1:45 remaining in the first half, the Cougars went on a 6-0 mini-run to trim the Goshen lead to four heading into halftime.

An Alaya Chapman bucket assisted by Shamaria Walker, tied the game at 36 less than two minutes into the third quarter. Goshen managed to build a small lead that never got above six, and held it for most of the period. IU Kokomo trailed 53-47 heading into the final quarter of play.

Olivia Dowden and Anya Friend drilled three-pointers on back-to-back possessions to cut the Goshen lead to two at 60-58 in the fourth quarter. The Maple Leafs responded with a 6-1 run to take a seven point lead with less than four minutes remaining. IU Kokomo was unable to recover, and fell on the road at Goshen 73-65.
